Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 Week 14 guide: weekly challenges, epic quests, release date and more news
The penultimate week of Fortnite's current season is nearly upon us.
Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 Week 14 marks the second-to-last week of the iconic battle-royale game's current season of content. Don't worry, you've come to the right place for information about its release date and weekly challenges.
Of course, many of the recent goings-on in Fortnite have tied into the Zero Point event, which has brought together iconic Hunters from various corners of the pop-culture world. The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda joined the party early on, and, more recently, Alien skins arrived in the game, allowing players to suit up as Ellen Ripley or the Xenomorph.
But what does Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 Week 14 have in store for us? As usual, you can expect epic quests and other challenges that should keep you busy for a while. Let's get into the nitty-gritty of it.
Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 Week 14 weekly challenges, release date and time
Although we don't have an official announcement from Epic Games, we can make a pretty decent guess about the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 Week 14 release date based on previous form.
Judging by the dates and times of previous weekly resets, it seems wise to assume that the Week 14 weekly challenges will launch at 2pm GMT on 4th March 2021. If you're reading this in the USA that would be 9am EST on your side of the pond.

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 Week 15 weekly challenges release date and time
Judging by previous form, we would expect the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season Week 15 weekly challenges to go live at 2pm GMT on Thursday 11th March 2021. These challenges should be the last ones of the season.
When does Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 drop?
With Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 approaching its end, our thoughts are starting to turn towards Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6. When will it start? That's one of the big questions, and we can hazard a pretty good guess.
The official Fortnite website tells us that Chapter 2 Season 5 will end on 15th March, which makes it seem likely that Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 will kick off on 16th March 2021. That's assuming that Epic Games doesn't want to leave some sort of gap between the seasons. Of course, as soon as Epic Games officially announces Season 6, we'll be sure to let you know.
