Hunters
Chapter 6 opened on a Japan-inspired island with wall-running and masks that gave you powers. Around the same time Fortnite OG became a permanent mode, so the classic map was always there for players who missed it.
Lawless and the first mini-season
Season 2, Lawless, was a crime season full of heists. In May 2025 came the first mini-season, Galactic Battle, a month-long Star Wars season. That same month Fortnite returned to the US App Store.
Super and the bug invasion
Season 3, Super, was a superhero season that began just as Fortnite launched alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 on 5 June 2025. Season 4, Shock 'N Awesome, sent giant bugs to invade the island.
The Simpsons
Chapter 6 ended with a second mini-season in November 2025: a month in Springfield, from The Simpsons. A finale on 29 November led into Chapter 7 the next day.
What changed
Mini-seasons became part of the rhythm: a big season, then a short, themed one built around a single collaboration. Treasure Hunters, today's One Piece season, follows the same pattern.
It was also a busy year away from the island. Fortnite came back to iPhone in the US after almost five years, and it was ready on day one for the Nintendo Switch 2. More players could jump in on more devices than at any point before.
