When is Late Game Arena coming back? Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4

Epic has provided an update on the future of Late Game Arena and when it’s coming back.

Late Game Arena is a Fortnite mode that looks to replicate a competitive endgame by launching players straight into the later stages of a match, complete with a full loadout and materials.

Fans love it because it means less time spent looting and more action. Plus, you earn Hype points just like in Arena, so generally face people of a similar skill level.

After being vaulted for the whole of Chapter 3, Late Game Arena finally returned for the end of Season 3. However, it was removed again shortly after due to a number of bugs.

When will Late Game Arena come back?

In a recent update, Epic Games confirmed that the new target release date for Late Game Arena is November 1.

They added that Late Game Cash Cups and events are also planned. So, while it may not be exactly that date, it seems like we can expect Late Game Arena sometime later in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4.

Thank you for your patience.

What needs fixing?

The original Late Game Arena playlist was made as a Limited Time Mode on the Battle Royale Island. But when Epic updated Late Game for Chapter 3, they decided to build it in Fortnite Creative instead.

While the map still looks just like the real one, some things didn’t feel quite the same. A lot of players will be hoping they use this time to go back to the old style.

Other issues with Late Game Arena 2022 included points not working correctly and players being unable to rearrange their loadouts until they were dropping.
