Update, March 8: Today, Epic Games starts its major server downtime for the launch of Chapter 5 Season 2. What you need to know about the downtimes and the download can be found in our overview. The latest teaser for the season can be found here:
When does Chapter 5 Season 2 start? Each current Battle Pass indicates its expiration date. This time Season 1 will last until March 8, 2024, at 08:00 – that’s a Friday. Therefore, you can expect a downtime on the same day at 08:00, when Season 2 could be played onto the servers throughout the day. The duration and exact start time, however, have not yet been confirmed.
In addition to the start time, there is also a new theme that will take its place in the upcoming season. Leakers have dealt with the theme and claim to know which skins you can expect.
Everything about Chapter 5 Season 2 – Live Event, Battle Pass, Leaks
Will there be a live event? Epic Games is currently taking a different approach when it comes to preparing live events. While there was a live event after almost every second season in Chapters 1 and 2, a live event currently only appears when a story-relevant event needs to happen or a new chapter begins.
According to leakers, a small live event is supposed to take place on Saturday at 19:00 German time. However, nothing is set in stone, as Epic Games has not commented on this event.
What content will be included in the Battle Pass? According to leakers, the theme for Season 2 is set: “Greek mythology.” The Battle Pass is not yet known, but Epic Games has already released some teasers. These are gods of Greek mythology.
You can still expect the following skins according to leaks:
- Aphrodite
- Apollo
- Ares
- Hermes
- Medusa
The examples are based on surveys from Epic Games, which they usually use for new skins to find out which outfits players desire the most.
Are there leaks about Chapter 5 Season 2? Yes, there are. In the data from the last update to Fortnite, leakers found new monuments that could appear on the map of Season 2. Hypex, a reliable data miner from Fortnite, has visualized the new structure for you:
What can be seen is a stone hand that is glowing and wrapped in chains. The chain holds a chest that is locked. Another model shows the chest in an open state. It is possible that the chest is the box of Pandora, which also appears in mythology.
Players might be able to unlock this giant chest from its chains and open it to gather loot or maybe divine powers to better fight enemies.
Players still have a few days to complete their Battle Pass before the new season of Fortnite takes place. What do you think of the leaks and the idea behind Greek mythology? Let us know in the comments!
