The countdown for the rocket launch at Dusty Depot in Fortnite Battle Royale went live a few days ago. According to the countdown, the event will take place at 2 pm ET on Sunday, October 13, 2019. Given that the new season is expected to go live on October 13, 2019, and that Epic has not teased it yet, there is a possibility of rolling out the new season without teasing it. As gauged by ShiinaBR on Twitter, there is a fair chance for the devs to begin downtime for the new season while most players are already playing the game.
