There may be maintenance delays or server issues that could push the release times closer to 9 a.m. ET.
Anticipated Battle Pass Skins
Epic Games has not yet released any information about the skins that will be included in the Fortnite Chapter 5 Battle Pass. However, we expect them to be based on the Greek mythology theme.
In addition to the Battle Pass skins, there will also be a number of new skins available in the Item Shop. Some of these skins could be based on the apocalyptic theme that was hinted at in the recent Fortnite surveys.
Players can also anticipate another collaboration skin as a bonus reward, which has become a popular trend in recent seasons. With the introduction of the new music mode, it wouldn’t be surprising if Epic Games teamed up with another well-known artist.
With the release of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 just around the corner, players are eagerly anticipating the new content, Battle Pass skins, and the surprises that Epic Games has in store. Keep an eye out for further updates and announcements from Epic Games as they unveil more details about this exciting new chapter in the Fortnite saga.
