Fortnite Season 4 Override Goes Live Today With a Full Meta Reset

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4, called Override, goes live August 20 after a maintenance window that started at 2am ET, with Battle Royale reopening around 6am ET. Epic's tagline is 'Break the Rules, Change the Game,' and leaks point to a Gaming Legends theme for the new battle pass, though Epic has not confirmed that. The season follows the Unstable live event that closed out Chapter 7 Season 3 on August 15.
