Listen to the story

Fortnite, one of the world's most popular video games, is preparing to launch its next season, called Chapter 7, Season 4. The update will bring exciting crossovers with other well-known games.

A crossover is when characters or content from one game appear inside another. This season will include a partnership with Sonic, the fast blue character from a classic video game series.

Players can expect new Sonic-themed skins, which are special character designs used to change how a player looks in the game. These skins are usually sold as part of themed bundles.

The season will also introduce a new battle pass. A battle pass is a system that rewards players with items and bonuses as they complete challenges and play matches.

Fans have been closely following news about the exact start time of the new season, as Fortnite seasons usually begin with a short downtime before the update goes live.

Although the source summary does not confirm every detail, it suggests that more information about bundles, release dates and additional crossovers will be shared soon.

Fortnite has a long history of collaborating with other iconic franchises, mixing characters from movies, music and other games into its battle royale world.

This upcoming season appears to continue that trend, giving players fresh content and new ways to customize their in-game experience.
