By Nicholas Barth ·
When does Season 7 of Fortnite Battle Royale end and Season 8 start? That is the question many players are currently asking, and we have the answer covered for you.
While there is still a good amount of time left in Season 7 of Fortnite Battle Royale, as with previous seasons in the popular battle royale game, players are already looking to see when the current period of content will end and a new period will start which would be entry 8 in this time period of the game. With there already being plenty of speculation and theories over how Fortnite will change when the end of Season 7 arrives and the start of content period 8 begins, there has been one question that has been circulating and will no doubt continue to do so in the near future.
When Does Fortnite Season 7 End and Season 8 Start?
There are currently 21 days left before the end of content period 7 in the timeline of the game on Wednesday, February 6th which would put the exact ending date of the current period of content on Wednesday, February 27th. With the start of the next period of content for the popular battle royale title usually beginning the very next day after the end of previous seasons, the expected start date for Season 8 is currently Thursday, February 28th.
Due to datamined files from Fortnite regarding earthquake tremors and recent footage showed off by members of the community showing off earthquake tremors occurring in the battle royale title currently, there is heavy speculation that the ending of content period 7 will see the map of Fortnite be drastically changed by an earthquake. These changes are then expected to mark the start of content period 8 in a dramatic fashion.

Theories focused on the end of Fortnite content period 7 and the start of content period 8 also have speculated that the Snowfall Prisoner skin that was freed from the prison at Polar Peak will be the mastermind behind the earthquake that alters the world of Fortnite when the end of Season 7 approaches, and the beginning of Season 8 commences.
While there has been no confirmation yet as to how the end of Fortnite Season 7 will occur or how Season 8 will start, players have less than a month before the highly anticipated changes begin to occur in the battle royale title from Epic Games.
