When is Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2? Release date and what to expect

What's more, Epic is teasing a couple of new skins – a rapper Big Dill and thug Midas. How they'll play a role in the season as it unfolds will become clear soon.

What are those gold bars on the floor in the teaser, too? Time will tell.

Read on to find out when the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 release date is and what you can expect from the 'Lawless' season and its 'Crime City'.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 release date

The Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 release date is 21st February 2025, Epic Games has confirmed.

You can see this on the in-game timer or on the official Fortnite website.

Regarding start time, we don’t have an official word from Epic Games. We know that the C6S1 battle pass will end on 21st February at 2am ET (7am UK time).

Typically speaking, there is a lengthy period of downtime between new seasons in Fortnite, as the developers add in the new season content before it goes live.

Time will tell how long the downtime will be, and the official Fortnite Status X account will let us know at that time.

It’s also worth noting that Epic Games has shifted new season release dates in the past. As of writing, the Fortnite C6S2 release date is 21st February 2025, but this could change.

We’ll update this page if it does.

What should you expect from Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2?

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 is named 'Lawless' and it's being teased with a gritty urban landscape.

Epic Games took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to reveal the C6S2 teaser, which you can see below:

Presumably, 'Crime City' is a new location on the Fortnite map – whether or not the hustle will ever stop remains up in the air (the hustle from the development team never stops, apparently).

As you can see in the tiny teaser above, a Big Dill pickle rapper from the group 'Tasty Bois' is being teased – a new character skin, perhaps? – and what looks like a thug version of Midas.

Thug Midas is a Wanted criminal, it would appear. Is he playing a role in the story this season?

The gold bars on the floor, meanwhile, could be hinting at a heist of some kind... The mind boggles.

We'll be sure to learn more very soon indeed. Keep those eyes peeled on Fortnite's social media pages and right here, as we'll update with new information as it's revealed.
