With the tandem launches of Fortnite Pageant, 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 huge 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 seems just like the long-rumored Greek mythology season actually is occurring.
When does Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Start?
Season 1 is at the moment 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. Count on to begin enjoying 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 just about confirmed by the 29.30 patch, which added a number of huge 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 stay occasion to finish Season 1?
There will not be something just like the Large Bang occasion that launched Chapter 5, however there will probably be new quests and a significant change to the island as a part of the ramp-up to Season 2. The quests will come courtesy of a brand new character, carrying historic Greek armor, who’s referred to as Odyssey–a presumed affirmation of the mythology theme.
However simply to drive the purpose residence: The map is about to develop an arm, and it should be holding Pandora’s Field. This will probably be a neighborhood occasion of types akin to the volcano vault in Chapter 1 Season 8–players should 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 way in which, seems prefer it belongs to the Chapter 1 Season 7 battle go pores and skin The Prisoner, although given the theme it could possibly be Hephaestus instead–or possibly The Prisoner is Hephaestus.
You must count on all of these things to begin as soon as the TMNT occasion ends on Feb. 27.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 battle go skins
We’ve not seen the Season 2 battle go but, nevertheless it’s in all probability protected to imagine that Odyssey will probably be certainly one of them. We’ve not seen some other skins but, however I might be remiss if I did not point out that Ruined Reels has statues of Fish Thicc carrying a toga–that’s gotta be a candidate.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 battle go collabs
There is not any phrase but on what collaboration skins could be included with the battle go in Season 2. However with the Greek mythology theme, a number of Gaming Legends skins are potential, like a basic Kratos, or Kassandra from Murderer’s Creed: Odyssey. And hold your fingers crossed that the present Norse-themed Kratos from the God of Struggle 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 Pink 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!
