With the tandem launches of Fortnite Competition, Lego Fortnite and Rocket Racing in December, Fortnite has been overflowing with content material in current months. However now it is time for our first massive shakeup of the brand new chapter, because of the upcoming launch of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2.
We do not know a ton about what’s coming simply but, however we all know greater than we normally do by this level, because of some new stuff that was added to the sport recordsdata with the 29.30 replace. Spoiler: It appears just like the long-rumored Greek mythology season actually is occurring.
When does Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Start?
Season 1 is presently slated to finish late on Thursday, March 7/early morning on March 8, relying in your time zone. Each earlier time {that a} season has ended on a Thursday evening, the brand new season began the subsequent morning. Anticipate to start out taking part in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 on March 8.
What is the theme for Chapter 5 Season 2?
It has been rumored for months {that a} Greek mythology season was within the works, and the Chapter 5 map being stuffed with Mediterranean surroundings and structure, to not point out the entire Ruined Reels POI, has solely fueled that rumor. And that theme has now seemingly been nearly confirmed by the 29.30 patch, which added a number of massive Greek mythology components to the sport recordsdata. These items aren’t Season 2 issues that had been included on this patch by accident–we’ll be seeing them on the battle royale island earlier than Season 1 ends.
Will there be a reside occasion to finish Season 1?
There will not be something just like the Huge Bang occasion that launched Chapter 5, however there will probably be new quests and a major change to the island as a part of the ramp-up to Season 2. The quests will come courtesy of a brand new character, sporting historic Greek armor, who’s referred to as Odyssey–a presumed affirmation of the mythology theme.
However simply to drive the purpose dwelling: The map is about to develop an arm, and it’ll be holding Pandora’s Field. This will probably be a group occasion of types akin to the volcano vault in Chapter 1 Season 8–players will have to use their pickaxe to destroy the chains, and as soon as it is damaged, the field will open and presumably unleash many unhealthy issues upon the omniverse.

The arm, by the best way, appears prefer it belongs to the Chapter 1 Season 7 battle cross pores and skin The Prisoner, although given the theme it might be Hephaestus instead–or perhaps The Prisoner is Hephaestus.
You need to anticipate all of these things to start out as soon as the TMNT occasion ends on Feb. 27.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 battle cross skins
We have not seen the Season 2 battle cross but, however it’s most likely protected to imagine (*2*). We have not seen every other skins but, however I would be remiss if I did not point out that Ruined Reels has statues of Fish Thicc sporting a toga–that’s gotta be a candidate.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 battle cross collabs
There is no phrase but on what collaboration skins is perhaps included with the battle cross in Season 2. However with the Greek mythology theme, a number of Gaming Legends skins are attainable, like a basic Kratos, or Kassandra from Murderer’s Creed: Odyssey. And maintain your fingers crossed that the prevailing Norse-themed Kratos from the God of Conflict reboot will return for the primary time in three years in the course of the season.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Starter Pack and Save the World pack
A brand new season means a brand new starter pack–which features a pores and skin, again bling, pickaxe and 600 V-Bucks for $4.49–and a brand new Save the World pack–which comes with entry to Save the World, quests for 1500 V-Bucks, and a set of cosmetics. And we already know what they are going to be. The starter pack pores and skin will probably be Clara, a ballet dancer/murderer a la Jennifer Lawrence’s Purple Sparrow. And the Save the World pack’s pores and skin will probably be Dr. Vinderbot.
Enjoyable reality: V-Bucks is definitely brief for Vindertech Bucks. Shock!
