Fortnite is perhaps the most popular phenomenon among gamers at the moment and a Season 4 is set to end shortly. The players are in ferment for the start of Season 5, which will offer up new challenges, new missions, new game modes and new weapons until it ends in September. While we're waiting to find out what the contents of this new season will be, Epic announced on Reddit that the season will officially start on July 12 at 1 AM PDT / 4 AM EDT / 9 AM BST / 6 PM AET. The theme that will accompany this particular season has not yet been announced, but some say it could have something to do with time travel or space-time disturbances.

We should know more soon enough... are you excited for season 5?
