What's In The Fortnite Season 8 Battle Pass? A typical Fortnite season lasts about 14 weeks. In the menus for the Season 7 Battle Pass, the fine print reveals that the current Battle Pass extends through September 12, which suggests that Season 8 will kick off on Monday, September 13, which is less than a week away. Having said that, we can reasonably infer the start date of Season 8 based on in-game information from Season 7. The team surely wants to keep players invested in Season 7 right up until the game goes offline for the seasonal changeover. It makes sense, since every week brings something new to Fortnite as it is, though we've gotten hints as the quests have progressed this season.
