Leading up to the start of Season 4 , players had observed shooting stars crossing the game 's map during Season 3 , which later became small meteorites that hit the ground and caused some damage . Across all games a large meteor also started to appear , on track to hit the game map to coincide with the start of Season 4 , completely destroying one of the major landmarks . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Season 5 </Td> <Td> July 2018 -- September 2018 </Td> <Td> Time travel - themed season . Prior to this season , Epic established a one - time event across all games on June 30 , 2018 that fired a rocket from a villainous lair which created interdimensional rifts on the map . The rifts grew over the next few days , with some in - game objects disappearing and new objects from other time periods appearing . As part of its marketing , Epic planted a real - world version of the `` Durrr - Burger '' restaurant sign in the California desert , with clues pointing to locations of real - world version of the game 's loot llamas located around the world . The season started with changes of the map due to these rifts , while the rifts remained as a gameplay element within the season , teleporting the player to a high elevation and to re-land elsewhere in the map . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Season 6 </Td> <Td> September 2018 -- present </Td> <Td> Darkness and corruption themed . Near the end of the fifth season , another one - time event occurred in which the rifts created by the rocket launch closed up , leaving a large purple cube with glyphs on its surface in the game world , which players nicknamed `` Kevin '' . Kevin slowly moved on its own across the map , in certain spots leaving behind glyphs that created low - gravity playing areas . Kevin ended its journey by falling into Loot Lake , turning its water purple and making it a bouncy surface . At the start of the sixth season , the skies above the map darkened and Kevin re-emerged from the lake , lifting Loot Lake 's island and mansion high into the air and occasionally moving it to different places above the map . The lake is then renamed `` Leaky Lake '' , becoming a whirlpool that levitates anyone who approaches it . Several other places on the map became `` corrupted '' where players could find Shadow Stones which makes them temporarily invisible , able to move faster , and pass through objects , but unable to use weapons . Through the course of the season , the floating island moved across the map to the spots where Kevin had left the glyphs , pulling up a small part of the land as a miniature floating island in its wake . Eventually , the glyphs of seven floating islands were activated , destroying the mansion and the island that Kevin was levitating and scattering the remains across the map , which then became portals that heralded the arrival of transdimensional alien creatures named `` Cube Monsters '' . The Monsters become a new side threat to all players , similar to the Zombies in Call of Duty : Black Ops 4 's Blackout mode , and can easily be slain with special weapons for loot . </Td> </Tr> </Table>
