Fortnite’s new Playground LTM just dropped this morning alongside a rather massive update. A bounty of new features have found their way to the game, including dual pistols and the stopping of pesky edit peeking, which some people are surely going to miss. That said, Epic Games has wasted no time in revealing the start date for Season 5 of Fortnite.

Taking to Reddit, Epic announced when Season 5 will begin for the massively popular Battle Royale title. To start, Season 4 has been extended by two days, giving players more time to complete all of those challenges. Season 5 is set to drop at 4am ET on July 12th. In addition to this, the devs are also giving everyone an added boost to complete the current Battle Pass challenges.

“Want even more help earning those last few Battle Pass rewards,” Epic asks in their Reddit post. “We’ll be running a +100% match XP weekend starting June 29th at 4AM EDT (08:00 GMT) and ending on July 2nd at 3AM EDT (07:00 GMT). Hop in, catch up on challenges, and earn those Season 4 rewards while you can!”
