Fortnite Season 6 delayed until September 27, 400% XP bonus this weekend

Fortnite Season 6 will not start until Thursday, September 27, Epic Games has announced.

That's later than expected - in-game messages had suggested Fortnite Season 6 would begin on Tuesday 25.

Epic hasn't teased any details for Season 6, and the mysterious purple cube rolling around the map fell into Loot Lake earlier this week proving to be a bit of a disappointment.

To make up for the delay, Fortnite players will get a whopping 400 percent XP bonus from now until September 24 at 8 AM ET. So if you're still chasing that Ragnarok outfit, nows the time to get on the grind.
