Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Will End on November 1

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4, Override, ends on November 1, bringing the current Fortnitemares content to a close. Epic has not confirmed the exact changeover time, but Chapter 7 Season 5, the final month of Chapter 7, is expected to begin the same day.
A live event is expected to close Override and usher in the mini-season. Estimated downtime starts at 1 a.m. PT, with servers expected to be unavailable for several hours. The times below are estimates for when downtime may begin, not when players can expect servers to return.

The one-month season is expected to end with a major end-of-chapter event ahead of Chapter 8, which is slated to begin on December 1. Its launch timing has not been confirmed. November 1 also sets an end date for the earlier estimate that Override would last 10 to 12 weeks before a shorter season.
