Fortnite has updated its in-game schedule, pushing the end of Chapter 6 to November 29 at 2 PM ET. This adjustment gives players several extra hours to wrap up progress in Springfield before the season officially closes. The previous end time—listed as November 29 at 2:30 AM ET—has now been replaced across the in-game Battle Pass tab.
A Look Back at the Springfield Mini-Season
Chapter 6 Season 4 concluded with a major twist: Kang and Kodos abducted Hope and Jones, ultimately dragging them into Springfield. This transition sparked a limited-time Simpsons mini-season, complete with a new map and a wave of chaotic encounters.
Throughout the event, the island saw:
- Donut Storms
- Contaminated water and harmful mutations
- Homer clones spreading across Springfield
- The Incredible Bulk emerging in the island’s southern zone
Players who want deeper context can explore the animated shorts connected to this arc or complete the Springfield Stories Quests, which recap key lore moments from the past weeks.
Zero Hour Live Event Set for November 29
The Zero Hour live event remains locked in for November 29 at 2 PM ET, now matching the revised Battle Pass end time. This event will serve as the finale for Chapter 6, with the Incredible Bulk seemingly playing a major role as Hope, Jones, and an expanded cast of characters prepare to confront the Dark Presence.
Following the event, players should expect extended downtime ahead of the launch of Chapter 7. Depending on region and server load, some players may not gain access to the new chapter until later that evening—or the next day.
What Players Should Do Now
The extended timeline gives the community more space to finish:
- Battle Pass tiers
- Springfield challenges
- The Homer Simpson skin and its Evil variant
With downtime approaching immediately after Zero Hour, this is the final window to complete progression tied to the Simpsons mini-season.
Players now have a bit more breathing room — but once the clock hits 2 PM ET on November 29, Chapter 6 officially closes and Fortnite transitions into its next major era.
