When is the next Fortnite season? Chapter 5 Season 2 start date

Fortnite has finally cooled down after a roaring start to Chapter 5 Season 1. The completely new map and loot pool have kept players entertained. Let’s not forget the successful launches of LEGO Fortnite, Fortnite Festival, and Rocket Racing. However, with Battle Royale and Zero Build remaining the core game modes, many wonder when the next Fortnite season will be. 

Today, we’ll explain when you can expect Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, as the end of Season 1 draws near. 

According to official sources, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 will conclude on March 8, 2024. That means players still have time to experience the current map and loot pool before moving on to the next season. At a whopping 96 days, Chapter 5 Season 1 is one of the longer seasons in recent memory. 

With Chapter 5 Season 2 just under two months away, we can expect hints toward the next season in the coming weeks. While it’s unclear what will occur, leakers have revealed some hints. 

Many leakers, including ShiinaBR, have stated that Epic has begun play-testing patch v28.30. This update will be the final one in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1–meaning we may start seeing serious teasers once it launches. 

Beyond the surface-level information, a collaboration between Fortnite and franchises Devil May Cry and Avatar is in the works. This leak arrived via HYPEX, who learned the information from the XboxEra podcast. It’s unclear whether this will occur specifically in Chapter 5 Season 2, but it’s possible. 

We’ll be sure to update further as the days wind down toward the next Fortnite season and whatever awaits.
