By that estimate, Fortnite Season 9 is likely to begin sometime in mid to late-May 2019. We will know when the 9th season is going to start because Fortnite begins to tease a new season on social media. That usually lasts for three to four days, following which the season comes out.

Every season of Fortnite comes with a theme and brings changes to the maps. The game tends to bring forward a large number of changes from time to time. Usually, towards the end of every season, a major geological event takes place which changes the way the map of the game looks like. This makes sure the gamers get a refreshed experience every time they play the game.

Towards the end of Season 7, the volcanic eruption happened. Towards the end of Season 6, there was an iceberg crash which brought a lot of snow. While it is hard to guess what the next update would be, it might be something related to global warming or the heating up of the earth given that the update will come out in the summer of 2019.
