What is the exact local time for my time zone when Season 4 launches
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 launched on August 7, 2025, after server downtime. Epic Games typically schedules these updates around 2:00 AM ET following the previous season’s live event, with downtime lasting 2-6 hours.
EET Launch Time
Servers went offline around 1:30-2:00 AM ET on August 7, which corresponds to 9:30-10:00 AM EET in your time zone. Season 4 went live approximately 4 hours later, around 1:00-2:00 PM EET, once maintenance concluded.
Context Note
This timing followed the standard pattern for Fortnite updates, adjusted for the “Shock ‘N Awesome” season start after Chapter 6 Season 3’s extension. As of January 19, 2026, the season has long ended.
What new features are in Diablo 4 Season 4
Diablo 4 Season 4, known as the “Loot Reborn” update, launched in May 2024 with major itemization and endgame improvements. It introduced crafting systems and new dungeons that transformed gearing and progression.
Key Systems
Tempering and Masterworking allow targeted stat additions to gear, making builds more customizable and reducing reliance on pure RNG drops. Legendary Aspects upgrade permanently in the Codex of Power via salvaging, streamlining imprinting.
The Pit of Artificer serves as a scalable endgame dungeon similar to Diablo 3’s Greater Rifts, with over 100 tiers for racing against timers to earn top materials and loot.
Item Changes
Powerful Uniques and Uber Uniques drop earlier across World Tiers, including from level 55+ monsters, enabling exciting builds sooner. Helltides expand to lower tiers with higher density and a threat system that spawns bosses at max level.
New Uniques per class (e.g., Tyrael’s Might) and general ones enhance playstyles, while bosses like Andariel join Duriel for Uber farming variety.
Gameplay Impacts
These updates make gear progression more deliberate, boost viable builds through stat flexibility, and shift endgame from boss spam to dungeon challenges. Note that Season 4’s features laid groundwork for later seasons like Season 11’s Divine Gifts.
