Overview
- Epic put Chapter 7 Season 4, titled Override, live on Aug. 20 after scheduled downtime, bringing a gaming‑themed map reboot focused around a central Spire.
- The season introduces Override Consoles that grant server‑wide modifiers, in‑match Cheat Codes that summon Sprites, and Loot Hacks that let players spend Sprite Dust to change chest drops.
- Sonic headlines the Battle Pass with Power Sneakers and a Tails Sprite that grants hovering, while crossover weapons like Mega Man’s Mega Buster, an 8‑Bit Shotgun and Midas’ Masterpiece are available in matches.
- A new Lobby Hacks admin panel lets players redeem published codes for XP, Sprite variants, gizmos and Sprite Dust, and outlets have published full code lists for immediate use.
- Epic launched 11 new Sprites at launch with quality‑of‑life changes to summoning and dust cost, and the company will stagger many high‑profile Item Shop crossovers across the season running through Oct. 31.
