Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is set to kick off this week, and we've got the exact time you'll be able to jump into the new season.
Update: The Fortnite Myths and Mortals update is here but you won't be able to play for a while yet as Fortnite downtime has been extended again.
Original story: While Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 was one of the best seasons thanks to the introduction of brand new game modes like Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival (which recently launched the Lady Gaga Festival Pass), it's about time to move on to what's next. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 arrives on the scene later this week and is set to bring the world of Greek mythology to the game, with skins based on figures like Ares, Zeus, Cerberus, and Medusa set to arrive in the upcoming battle pass.
The Titan Hand live event kicked off things last week, giving players a preview of what's to come next season. While it's unknown if the Titan will do anything elaborate during the next season or simply just have his arm stick out of the floor for three months, it's worth giving it a visit to get in the mood for what's coming next. But when will players be able to jump into the next season? We've got the info below.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 start time
The Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 start time is sometime after 9pm EST / 6pm PST and 2am GMT on Saturday, March 9. Server downtime was extended twice, and this is the time Epic says players can preload Fortnite update v29.00. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 should be available until sometime in June 2024 based on the second seasons of previous Fortnite chapters.
Why Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's six week delay is a good thing
Players will have until then to unlock everything in the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 or it'll be gone forever. So if you want to unlock Peter Griffin so you can watch him sing Feel Good Inc by Gorillaz. in Fortnite Festival, you'll need to get through it before then. Plus to unlock this season's secret skin you'll need to jump in and complete the Solid Snake skin quests which will nab you Metal Gear Solid's main man to also take into Fortnite Festival and watch him sing The Weeknd's Blinding Lights.
