Epic Games has been dropping subtle hints about the Chapter 4 Season 5 theme for a long time. Meanwhile, on October 17, 2023, the time machine appeared in the Named Location known as Frenzy Fields showing the in-game teaser. Assets from Fortnite Chapter 1 Season 5 also appeared next to the time machine and have now become a part of the current island.
Jonesy can also be seen tweaking the machines, likely to ensure that everything is calibrated correctly. While the details are rather limited, leakers have found evidence that the timeline will be corrupted, which will lead to an anomaly.
However, this in-game teaser confirms that time travel will occur, it is rather unclear why the starting date of Chapter 1 Season 5 was chosen. If Epic Games was aiming to recreate the “OG” feel of days gone by, they would have chosen Chapter 1 Season 1. There are a few speculations and theories being tossed about, but none of them can be confirmed.
