Epic Games confirmed the end of the last 3 Fortnite seasons we tracked with 71, 71 and 30 days' notice (newest first), measured from our daily record of this page. That varies too much to predict when this one will be announced. How accurate our estimates are.
Fortnite Chapter 7 Mini Season 1: Treasure Hunters is estimated to end around December 5, 2026 (verified November 10, 2026). Track the live countdown for Fortnite Chapter 7 Mini Season 1: Treasure Hunters. Synced with official developer announcements and updated every second in your browser.
Fortnite Chapter 7 Mini Season 1: Treasure Hunters is live. It launched on November 1, 2026 with update v43.00 and is the bridge between Chapter 7's last full season and Chapter 8.
The end date is not yet confirmed on Epic's Battle Pass page. Epic's October 30 news post schedules the Chapter 7 end event for Saturday, December 5, 2026, so the countdown above targets that day and shows it as an estimate. Epic has not given the hour; the timer uses 19:00 UTC (2:00 PM ET) as a placeholder and moves when Epic posts the time on @FortniteStatus or in the Battle Pass tab.
Treasure Hunters is a short, pirate-themed mini season built around a One Piece crossover, with a new island instead of a reworked one.
The Battle Royale map is Crossbones Isle, a new, smaller island, and matches drop 80 players instead of 100 to suit its size. Outlets that have played it report One Piece locations such as Arlong Park and Windmill Village among its named POIs.
Epic's key art, posted on October 28, shows six Battle Pass outfits: Portgas D. Ace, Nico Robin, the new Fortnite original Captain X, and remixed versions of Jonesy, Cuddle Team Leader and Charlotte. The rest of the Straw Hat crew, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp and Sanji, plus Buggy, are Item Shop purchases rather than pass rewards.
Epic says Captain X's mega chest is hidden somewhere on the island and has told players to keep checking back each Captain's Day, so the hunt plays out week by week across the mini season rather than all at once.
Nothing tied to the Treasure Hunters pass carries into Chapter 8. Because this is a mini season, the window is much shorter than a normal season, so plan for it early.
Unclaimed Battle Pass rewards are lost for good once the next season goes live, and the weekly quests that feed it close with the season. Spend leftover Battle Stars instead of saving them, since they do not carry over.
Fortnite ranks reset when a new season starts, and the Ranked rewards for this season are earned by climbing during it. Reach the rank you want credit for before the end event.
The Chapter 7 end event plays out once, live, with no replay inside the game. Log in early on the day: event lobbies fill up and close once it starts.
Chapter 8 is expected to follow, but Epic has not announced its name or launch date; the late November and early December dates in circulation come from leakers, not Epic. This page switches to the next season as soon as Epic confirms it. For every past transition, see every Fortnite season.
Fortnite updates on a roughly weekly cadence. Major versioned patches arrive about every two weeks, with smaller hotfixes in between, almost always on Tuesdays. Each major update starts with scheduled server downtime, usually in the early-morning hours US Eastern (commonly around 2:00–4:00 AM ET / 06:00–09:00 UTC), when matchmaking is disabled and the new content goes live once servers return.
Epic announces each maintenance window a few hours ahead on the official @FortniteStatus channel, so there's no fixed clock you can set far in advance; the exact time shifts patch to patch. For everything that changed in the current build, read the full Fortnite patch notes; to track the season as a whole, use the live countdown at the top of this page.
On a major patch day, downtime typically begins in the early morning US Eastern time and lasts roughly one to two hours before the update is playable. Hotfix updates usually apply server-side without downtime. The surest confirmation for any given day is the @FortniteStatus announcement and the in-client news feed.
The next live event is the Chapter 7 end event, which Epic has scheduled for the final day of Treasure Hunters (the date is at the top of this page). Epic is keeping what happens in it secret for now and has not announced the start time, which normally arrives a week or two ahead.
