A winter-theme seems to be the main focus of season 7 with both pictures so far depicting icy characters and there seems to be a good chance to skiing could become the newest mode of transport to be added to the game.

The newest picture also hints that a long-awaited item could finally be added as fans spotted a character travelling down a zip-line on the side of the image.

Zip-lines have been a rumoured addition to the game for several months as a new way for players to travel down hills and mountains.

The skins shown in the teaser pictures usually become available to unlock in the new Battle Pass, and this is likely to be the case again.

There is a good chance that the character in the first teaser will be the main feature of the Battle Pass, either at tier 100 or as a skin with multiple forms that you can unlock.

When does season 7 start?

Epic Games has yet to confirm exactly when season 7 will begin, but it is likely to be Thursday 6 December or Friday 7 December.

Updates usually take place around 9am GMT and this is likely to be the case again, although it can vary if developers face any delays or changes in their plans.

The current countdown on the game suggests that season 6 will end on Wednesday 5 December and the new season usually starts the next day.

In the past developers have continued to leave it late before officially announcing when a season will end and when players can expect the new one to begin.

However Thursday does seem to be a likely start date for season 7, as it is the same day that season 5 and 6 started on.
