Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 Update v37.20 Faces Unexpected Delay
2025-09-09 09:34:59Fortnite's second major update for Chapter 6 Season 4 appears to have been postponed from its originally scheduled Tuesday, September 9 release date. When a new Fortnite season launches, players typically enjoy several weeks of fresh content exploration, including new points of interest, weapons, game mechanics, and landmarks before craving additional updates.
Chapter 6 Season 4 commenced on August 7, with the season's initial update arriving nearly three weeks later on August 26. Update v37.10 brought limited content to Battle Royale modes like BR, OG, and Reload, instead focusing primarily on the Ballistic mode and Fortnite Festival. The update also introduced the Gorillaz collaboration to Fortnite, with two members available as purchasable skins and the other two included in the Season 10 Fortnite Festival Music Pass.
While Fortnite updates typically follow a bi-weekly release pattern, v37.10 broke from tradition, likely because Epic Games wanted to give players adequate time to explore the new season's initial content. The subsequent update was expected to arrive on September 9, exactly two weeks after the previous one. However, the update has now been delayed, as evidenced by the absence of communication from the official Fortnite Status Twitter account.
The gaming community remains uncertain about the new release date for the update, though many hope the delay will be brief, especially considering another patch is already scheduled for September 16. This tight scheduling suggests that one update might contain minor content while the other delivers more substantial additions. Among the anticipated features players expected with v37.20 was the Kai Cenat skin, originally slated for release on September 12.
The upcoming patch is expected to introduce files for the Megazord skin, which serves as the secret skin in the Chapter 6 Season 4 Battle Pass. Many players had also hoped the long-awaited companions feature would finally debut with this update, though Epic Games may potentially reserve this addition for patch v37.30 instead. With limited official communication about either update's contents, the community must await datamined information that typically emerges following maintenance periods and new release dates.
