When is Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2? Release date and rumours
Heading into the second season already.
Fortnite is deep into Chapter 6 Season 1, and players will likely have already rinsed a lot of the battle pass, so it's time to look ahead to Chapter 6 Season 2.
We already know when to expect the new season, although this can change, but we still don't have a lot of information about what to expect.
This season also introduced other fresh game modes like the Ballistic mode and LEGO Fortnite game Brick Life, while there is still plenty more to come with Godzilla waiting to be released.
For everything we know so far, keep reading as we break down when the new season arrives and any leaks we've seen about the upcoming release.
When is Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2? Release date
Based on the official battle pass timer, the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 release date should be 21st February 2025.
You can see this in-game 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?
As the release date for Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 gets closer, we’ll be sure to learn more about what to expect from it via leaks and rumours. For now, though, details are thin on the ground.
Despite this, reliable Fortnite leakers such as ShiinaBR have detailed a couple of interesting things that aren’t yet in the game and could be added in Chapter 6 Season 2.
Pixar’s Cars could be getting some Fortnite love, too. Leaks suggest we could have Lightning McQueen and Mater in the game before long, perhaps in C6S2. Whilst Splinter Cell has also been leaked.
Outside of that, Dragon Ball, Naruto and My Hero Academia skins look set to return to the store, so we could see the next season introduce a new anime or even be anime-themed.
As with all rumours and leaks, please do take all of the above with a healthy portion of salt. When Epic Games is ready, it will officially reveal more about what to expect from Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 – closer to its 21st February 2025 release date.
