Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 is coming soon, which an expected launch date on or in the days following March 4, 2026!
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 launched in November 2025, making it just under three months old. The newest season featured a new map, several new items, and more as Epic Games introduced players to a new era, so to say. However, Fortnite's ever-changing landscape has players wondering when Chapter 7 Season 2 will be released. Here's when you can expect it and what we expect when it lands.
When is Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 coming out?
Barring any changes, Chapter 7 Season 1 will conclude on March 4, 2026, making this one of the longer seasons in recent memory. That could mean Chapter 7 Season 2 arrives between March 4 and March 7, since Epic Games tends to launch new seasons on Fridays or Saturdays.
It's usually around this point that Fortnite players begin to desire something new to experience, given how fast the game tends to move on to the next massive update. However, Epic Games has confirmed some exciting patches coming soon in the lead-up to Season 2.
What will the next Fortnite season feature?
Much of Chapter 7 Season 2 has remained under wraps, but we do have some details regarding what you can expect. First and foremost, many leakers have reported a "Norse mythology" theme, which could be similar to the "Myths & Mortals" season from Chapter 5.
Season 2 will also reportedly feature the return of the iconic Ice King boss. This character's involvement in the season is unclear, but he will play a significant role, according to leaks. The last two items worth mentioning are collaboration-related.
Firstly, the long-rumored Overwatch x Fortnite crossover will reportedly debut in Chapter 7 Season 2. Another rumored Fortnite collaboration that could happen at the tail end of Season 1 or in Season 2 with the popular anime Solo Leveling.
We have no confirmation on the details of these two partnerships, but expect to learn that information in the coming weeks. That's everything we know about Fortnite's next season, which will launch sometime on or after March 4, 2026.
