When Does Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Start? Answered

Fans excited for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 do not have to wait much longer.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 started with an Eminem concert and is ending with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Even seven years after Fortnite's original release, Epic Games is still finding ways to make the Battle Royale fun and exciting, beyond new weapons and POIs. As great as Chapter 5 Season 1 was, though, the hype for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is ten times higher. Fortnite Season 2s, no matter the Chapter, always deliver, and just based off leaks alone, Chapter 5 Season 2 looks to be no different.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Leaks: What We Know So Far

New Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 leaks gave fans a preview of what is coming in the next Fortnite season. As predicted back in 2023, the season's theme will indeed be Greek mythology-themed. The ancient gods and goddesses are coming to the island with dangerous powers that will somehow tie into the current lore of Chapter 5.

We expect most of the Battle Pass skins to follow the theme; in fact, one already leaked, showcasing the design for the likely Tier 1 skin named Odyssey. Along with the mythical skins, there will almost certainly be at least one mainstream crossover in the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Battle Pass.
