A few days ago we were talking to you about the last update de Fortnite v8.51 that solved some problems in the game but did not incorporate great news, with the exception of the Shadow Bomb. This update disappointed many players with its low content, but the decision to epic Games was more than justified and is that the Fortnite Season 9 is about to begin.
For those of you who are new to the game, every 2-3 months Fortnite launches a new season (as if it were a series) in which changes are made to the map, new playable mechanics and a new season pass full of items is activated. cosmetics, such as skins, wraps, loading screens, gestures ...
Right now we are at the end of the eighth season with a good part of the Overtime challenges. If you have something to do or get in Fortnite season 8, hurry up because it is about to end.

When does Fortnite season 9 start?
It is planned that the Season 2017 starting on May 9 so we have only 3 days left to reach all our objectives in Season 8. As we have seen this weekend, the volcano erupted and has produced notable changes, such as the destruction of Pisos Picados ... although there may be even more changes heading into the start of Season 9.
Season 8 will officially end on the 9th at the times indicated below. At that time, the game will stop working and the update that will start the new season can be downloaded. The "stop", or time in which the game will be inactive, is usually about two hours. These are the hours in which the aforementioned "stop" will begin:
- UK: 9 am (BST)
- Europe: 10am (CEST)
- SIGN IN. UU: 4 am (EDT), 1 am (PDT)
Will there be a free battle pass in Fortnite season 9?
As soon as the game is operational again, you can buy the battle pass, at the usual price of 950 V-Bucks (about 10 euros to change), while the Battle Batch will cost 2,800 V-Bucks. The battle lot includes the battle pass and also automatically unlocks the first 25 levels.
Unlike last season, Epic has not "given away" the Season 9 Pass this time, but if you've played regularly and leveled up your Battle Pass by completing all of the Weekly Season 8 Challenges, you will have Earned enough V-Bucks to be able to buy it without spending a single euro (unless you have spent them on cosmetic items in the in-game store).
What's new in Fortnite season 9?
At the end of the eighth season, when all the runes appeared, a countdown began. At the conclusion, the game gave a series of items to the players from which they would have to choose one to get it out of the chamber and back into the game. The Drum Gun was the item of choice, so hopefully we will be able to use it again in the new season.
Pico Polar was also damaged by the eruption of the volcano, so it is not surprising that this area undergoes changes in the new season. Some rumors suggest that the frozen area of the map, with the arrival of summer, will gradually melt, which would allow us, among other things, to visit Caserío Colesterol again.
There could also be changes in the central and southeastern areas of the map. Señorío de la Sal, for example, has been unchanged almost since its appearance, so it is also a candidate for a possible drastic change.
At the moment no further details of the new season of fortnite But stay tuned and make the most of the few days we have left to get the rewards of Season 8.
