The 1-month mini-season rumor

Multiple reliable leakers have reported that Season 4 is a 1-month mini-season running July 30 - August 28. The pattern is consistent with Epic's 2025 Chapter 6 season design (which also had 1-month mini-seasons).

If the rumor is true, Chapter 7 Season 5 would launch August 28 - early September, then the next chapter (Chapter 8) would launch late 2026.
