Chapter 7: Season 3, also known as Chapter Seven: Season 3 and Season 41, is the forty-first season of Fortnite: Battle Royale and the third season of Chapter 7. The season began on June 6th 2026 and will end on August 19th 2026.
The season's main slogan is RUNNERS, centered around the collect of Sprites. The season's storyline follows the return of Slone and The Singularity, both of whom join forces with The Seven.
Meanwhile, The Foundation disappears following his confrontation with the Ice King, and Jones is shot and left comatose by a traitor.
As the restored Zero Point becomes increasingly unstable and threatens the existence of all realities, The Seven and their allies must work to restore it while contending with growing distrust from those around them.

When the Seven attacked the Collider, The Imagined sacrificed herself to drag Geno into an unfocused Zero Point, which causes their bodies to dissolve and scatter across the Omniverse. Despite this, Geno was able to reclaim his body by having his remnants converge at a single point in space-time.
The Foundation answered The Order's call and arrived at Reality: 266 to reunite with his allies and form a new iteration of The Seven with them. He was briefly captured by the Ice King not long after, who had joined forces with the Dark Voyager in his efforts to rebuild the Zero Point. Whereas the New Seven and the Ice King's kingdom waged battle all over the Island, the Dark Voyager was free to travel across realities in search of the remaining Zero Point Shards. These included the realities home to the Elites and Homebase, leading to Jules, Ray, Lars, Penny, Jess, and members of Overwatch to arrive in Reality: 266 and ally with the New Seven. In the meantime, the Foundation, the Order, the Looper, and Hope's investigations into the Ice Kingdom and the Seven's history brought along somber revelations about the fates of the remaining members, who are lost to the Chrome.

Leadup to Season 3[]
Main Article: Shattered The Foundation and the Ice King's battle culminated in a clash beside the partially rebuilt Zero Point in an effort to prevent the Dark Voyager from completing the reconstruction. However, the Foundation became hellbent on confronting the Ice King in a physical showdown, and as such he began to use the final Zero Point Shard as a weapon as the Ice King's Infinity Blade began to tear the Island apart. The Ice King, having won the showdown, froze The Foundation back into ice before being obliterated himself by the Dark Voyager. The final Shard is reunited with the Zero Point, which is blasted with an intense beam of energy by the Dark Harvester. As the overclocked Zero Point warps reality, a Rift Butterfly grants the Looper the Infinity Blade, which they then use to destroy the Harvester.
The Dark Voyager approaches The Visitor afterwards, who betrays Jones and reveals himself to be Geno, the founder of the Imagined Order and the Dark Voyager's master. He shoots Jones in the abdomen and tosses him aside.
Story
Story[]
Although the Zero Point had been reconstructed, it begins to destabilize. As the Dark Voyager establishes his dominion over the newly-formed Island, Jones is placed in a tank to recover from his wounds while Geno re-assumes the identity of the Visitor and returns to the Seven. Although he conceals his role in Jones' current condition, Hope becomes suspicious. She contacts Doctor Slone, who arrives to the Island to assist with the destabilizing Zero Point. On her way there, she finds the Foundation's broken mask on a beach.
Battle Pass
Battle Pass[]
The Runners Battle Pass is available for 
800 V-Bucks, with an additional 25-level boost offered for 1,800 V-Bucks. Fortnite Crew subscribers immediately unlock the Battle Pass alongside the OG Pass, Music Pass, and LEGO® Pass. Battle Pass levels require 80,000 
, or up to 99 rewards can be claimed individually for 150 V-Bucks each.
