Season 10 of Fortnite is almost over. This season of Epic’s hit battle royale game is now scheduled to end on Sunday, October 13, after the developer extended the season by an extra week, and it appears the new end date will coincide with some kind of big, world-changing in-game event.

Just what that event will entail remains to be seen, but it will have some major ramifications for Season 11, which will kick off shortly after Season 10 ends. As usual, Epic has been fairly tight-lipped about the upcoming season, but there are some things we know about it or can infer based on what has been happening in Fortnite the past couple of weeks. To help get you up to speed, we’ve rounded up everything we know about Fortnite Season 11 below.

When Does “The End” Event Start?

Just as it does before every seasonal changeover, Epic is holding a major in-game event in Fortnite ahead of Season 11. This season’s event is ominously known as “The End,” and it’s all scheduled to unfold in only a couple of days. According to the countdown timers that have begun appearing all across the Fortnite island, the event will occur at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET on October 13.

What Will Happen During The Event?

At this moment, it’s unclear just what will occur during the event, but it will almost undoubtedly lead to some big changes in Season 11. It will also presumably involve The Visitor, the time-traveling antagonist whose rocket in Season 4 created the giant rift in the sky, precipitating the events that would eventually lead up to this moment.

Like many other elements from Fortnite’s past, The Visitor returned to the game during Season 10. Now known as “The Scientist,” the antagonist is once again building a rocket at Dusty Depot, which will presumably launch once the countdown timers expire. That’s not all; the character seems to have infected Fortnite’s controversial BRUTE mechs with some kind of virus, causing them to explode immediately upon appearing.

When Does Fortnite Season 11 Start?

We know Season 10 of Fortnite is scheduled to end on October 13, but Epic has not yet confirmed when Season 11 will officially begin. A new season of the game typically kicks off immediately after the previous one; however, there have been instances in the past when the new season would follow a couple of days later, so it’s currently unclear exactly when Season 11 will start. It’s safe to say Season 11 will kick off sometime next week, but we’re still waiting on the official timing from Epic.

What Is Changing In Season 11?

One change Epic has already confirmed for Season 11 is the addition of bots. As part of its recent spate of matchmaking changes, the developer is introducing AI-controlled opponents to the game next season. According to Epic, these are intended to help players hone their skills and develop their strategies; the better players get, the fewer bots will appear in their matches, the developer says.

It also appears there are some big changes in store for the island. Dataminers have recently discovered a list of new location names within the game’s code, leading many to speculate that Season 11 may introduce an entirely new map–or at least make some significant changes to the current one. That, however, has not yet been confirmed.

There are popular video games, and then there are games that absolutely take over Twitter. From memes to comics to fan art, two 2019 games are particularly big stars in this regard: Untitled Goose Game and Fire Emblem: Three Houses. I’ve seen my fair share of both Untitled Goose Game memes and incredible (or goofy or lewd) Three Houses fan art, but even then, I didn’t expect to see them combined into one perfect series.

Twitter user Sharlene (@parfait1807), an illustrator and my new hero, has imagined Fire Emblem: Three Houses in the Untitled Goose Game universe. In the series, which is currently eight different images, the goose steals Hero’s Relics from both Byleths and all three house leaders, poses for a painting for Ignatz, and runs off with Ferdinand’s wig, which is now canon as far as I’m concerned. You can see the full FE3H x Untitled Goose Game set in her Twitter Moment.

I also would like to point out that female Byleth’s patterned tights–a contentious feature of her standard outfit–say “HONK” all over them in this universe. That is definitely an upgrade and would get me to consider switching from the school uniform I currently have her dressed in.

If you’re looking for more Fire Emblem, Sharlene has posted quite a bit of Three Houses fan art (and jokes) without the goose as well. For more of the goose, be sure to check out our Untitled Goose Game review, in which James O’Connor said: “There’s nothing else quite like Untitled Goose Game; it’s charming and cute despite being mean, and both very silly and very clever. It’s also probably the best non-racing game ever to feature a dedicated ‘honk’ button.”

M. Night Shyamalan shares the premise of his new unsettling Apple TV seres Servant and explains why he thinks people will be cosplaying the show’s enigmatic central character.

Sony Pictures revealed the first footage from The Grudge remake at New York Comic Con 2019, which pays homage to some of the classic images from the previous movies.

Hasbro announced at New York Comic Con 2019 that the new line of Marvel Legends figures will include six-inch figures of Stan Lee.

Concrete Genie’s best idea – the one you’ll return to over and again across its six-hour runtime – is, for the most part, sort of optional. If you’ve seen anything from Pixelopus’ second game, you’ll have seen that idea in action: lead character Ash pausing his semi-open world platforming to daub living drawings across the sides of run-down buildings. Trees sprout and grow, 2D waterfalls pour from rooftops onto bobbing ponds, and stars sprinkle themselves across brick-backed skies like dropped glitter. Thing is, if you wanted to, you could cynically cover almost every wall in paintings of a few boring blades of grass and still be able to continue. But you won’t. More likely, you’ll spend far longer than is technically required in each area, creating shimmering landscapes across the length of this shuttered city, and for no reason other than your own satisfaction. This is Concrete Genie’s crowning achievement.
