Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2: Release Date, Skin Leaks & More

Fortnite fans are eagerly anticipating what Epic Games has in store for Chapter 5 Season 2. While official details remain scarce, various leaks have revealed clues about what players can expect when the new season drops on March 8th, 2024. Here’s all you need to know about Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 release date, early skin leaks & more.

Release Date

Though not yet officially confirmed by Epic Games, trusted Fortnite leakers like FNChiefAko and Wensoing suggest that Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 will kick off on or around March 8th. This lines up with the current end date for the Chapter 5 Season 1 Battle Pass.

Unless Epic provides an update, players can expect the new season to go live sometime around March 8th. As with past season transitions, there will likely be some server downtime when the update goes live.

Hints at a Greek Mythology Theme

Numerous leaks indicate that Fortnite is going all-in on a Greek mythology theme for the new season. For starters, data miners uncovered challenges tied to a character named Odyssey, a clear reference to the ancient Greek epic poems.

In-game, players have also reported seismic activity and the emergence of a colossal Titan Hand. Many believe these events tie into the mythology theme and hint at major in-game happenings at the start of Season 2.

Another clue comes from leaks about Pandora’s Box containing icons for Greek gods like Zeus and Ares. Expect the new season to feature major mythological events and storylines, in keeping with these teases.

Early Battle Pass Skins Leak

As with every new Fortnite season, an all-new Battle Pass will likely be introduced in Chapter 5 Season 2. Leaks suggest many of the skins will fit the Greek mythology theme.

• Survey skins leaked for characters like Medusa, Aphrodite, and Hades seem to confirm they will appear as Battle Pass rewards
• An Odyssey skin also seems probable given the addition of an Odyssey NPC in a recent update.

While their appearances may change before release, these leaks give players an idea of what mythological figures could inspire Season 2 skins. Between gods, creatures, heroes, and more, Greek mythology offers endless skin potential.

Potential Gameplay Changes

In addition to thematic changes, some leaks point to new gameplay elements on the horizon. Data miners uncovered clues about Fall Guys-style mini-games in development. While it’s uncertain whether these new modes will be introduced in Season 2, they could provide some zany additions to the game.

Epic Games also confirmed that the fan-favorite Fortnite OG map and gameplay style will return at some point in 2024. Whether next season or later, players anxious for a nostalgic trip down memory lane can look forward to this classic Fortnite variant.

Countdown to Season 2

As the countdown continues towards March 8th, the leaks paint an exciting picture of what’s to come. Players can likely look forward to new mythological storylines, Greek history-inspired cosmetics, and perhaps new gameplay modes.
