Fortnite has expanded with the start of Chapter 5

As soon as Chapter 5 Season 1 ends, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 will likely start on March 8, 2024.

While not officially set in stone, the date is taken from the Chapter 5 Season 1 battle pass end date. Usually, a small downtime takes place before a new season kicks off, so if it's not on March 8, Season 2 might start a day later, on March 9.

As you can see, there's still plenty of time in the current season, which brought a ton of content outside battle royale changes, including three new fully fleshed-out games within the Fortnite universe: Fortnite Festival, a rhythm game developed by Harmonix, Rocket Racing, a racing game by the creators of Rocket League, and LEGO Fortnite, a Minecraft-esque building sandbox.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 leaks

To get you excited for Chapter 5 Season 2, we've compiled some interesting rumours and leaks.

The biggest one thus far might spoil the theme for the upcoming season, which could finally be a Greek mythology-themed one. There are several hints that point at this being the case, with the most telling including several POIs in the current map resembling ancient Greek architecture, and an upcoming boss that will spawn from lightning, possibly Zeus.

And that's all you need to know about the start of Chapter 5 Season 2 at the moment. We'll be updating this section with more leaks and rumours as they surface.
