This means that many players are starting to turn their attention towards season 7 which means a new Battle Pass and various updates to the game and its map.

Each season usually lasts for around 10 weeks and often includes skins and updates that revolve around certain themes.

Epic Games has remained quiet about what players can expect from the new update but there are some clues as to when we can expect season 7 to start.

When does season 7 start?

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

What to expect in season 7

The details of what will be added in season 7 havent been revealed yet and Epic Games usually stays quiet until the last few days before a new season gets underway.

We know that the next update will include a new Battle Pass and most likely some changes to the games map as well as items revolving around new themes.

One of the main predictions is that players are going to see a lot of snow added to the map as we prepare for the winter months.

Some signs of snow have already appeared on places like Viking Village and there has been signs of snow in the games data.

Players have also claimed that a snowstorm is slowly making its way towards the map.

There has been a recent find from data-miners that suggests Tilted Towers could be destroyed by some sort of bot during the new update.

Its hard to say how likely this is though as the data that was found isnt very detailed so there is some suspicion that it could just be there to trick data-miners.
