Battle for BFB, also known as BFB and previously known as Battle for BFDI, is the fourth season of the Battle for Dream Island series and the successor to IDFB. It premiered on November 3, 2017, with the release of "Getting Teardrop to Talk".
A fifth season, called Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two, will premiere some time after BFB 17, and will air simultaneously.

The intro to the season
Unlike IDFB, Battle for BFDI goes back to the traditional format of challenges and eliminations, similar to the first and second seasons.
The art style is more simplified and animated more loosely, which in turn allowed the running time of the first episode to be nearly half an hour-long, and later episodes to be able to be made within a shorter time frame.
Many unexplained plot changes have happened to let new characters join the cast and for old characters to return.
The premiere episode, "Getting Teardrop to Talk", introduces the fourth season's cast as well as the new hosts, Four and X from the 2008 jacknjellify video, "X Finds Out His Value".
Although the release of IDFB confirmed the end of BFDIA, the release of BFB does not confirm the end of IDFB. Since all of the characters are present (except for Evil Leafy and Nonexisty), including the ones that were originally trapped in the Locker of Losers, this might mean that IDFB is not canceled and BFB takes place sometime in the future. However, it is highly possible, as stated by Cary in his BFB 1 reaction video.
