Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is in full swing, but players are already looking ahead to what Season 3 has in store. Here’s a breakdown of everything we know so far, including the release date, rumored theme, and more.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 Release Date & Time
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 officially launches on Friday, May 24th. As with every major update, the launch will come with a period of server downtime. According to the official Fortnite Creators X (formerly Twitter) account, servers will go offline at 2 AM ET / 7 AM BST / 8 AM CEST.
While the exact downtime duration is unknown, expect it to be longer than usual for a new season update. Based on past launches, servers should be back online by around 7 AM ET / 12 PM BST / 1 PM CEST.
What to Expect
Fall Guys Joins the Party
The confirmed news for Season 3 is the epic integration of Fall Guys into the Fortnite universe! This long-awaited addition will take the form of a UEFN creation, allowing players to experience Fall Guys-inspired mayhem within Fortnite itself. Additionally, UEFN creators will have access to Fall Guys props, and some Fall Guys fun might even spill over into the battle royale modes.
Leaked Leaks and Rumored Rumors
The internet can be a goldmine for leaks, and Fortnite is no exception. A recent leak, supposedly revealing Epic’s roadmap for 2024, has dropped some juicy hints about Season 3.
First up, the leaked image hints at a Mad Max-inspired season with a post-apocalyptic theme. This lines up perfectly with rumors of vehicular combat arriving in the game, and with the release of the Mad Max prequel “Furiosa” on May 24th, it all seems to be falling into place.
Speaking of falling into place, the roadmap also suggests a Pirates of the Caribbean collaboration, potentially bringing Captain Jack Sparrow himself to the Season 3 Battle Pass!
Epic Collaborations on the Horizon
The rumor mill continues to churn, hinting at collabs beyond the potential Mad Max and Pirates of the Caribbean themes. My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen fans might have something to look forward to as new waves of cosmetics for these popular anime series are rumored to be on the way. With the Star Wars takeover currently in effect, Season 3 seems like a prime time to unleash these collaborations.
Festival Season 4 Rocks On
Just a few weeks after Season 3 kicks off, Fortnite Festival Season 4 is scheduled to begin on June 13th. While details are scarce, the leaked roadmap reveals Metallica as the featured artist for this musical season.
Rocket Racing Gets Volcanic
Rocket Racing, Fortnite’s fast-paced racing mode, is also getting some love. The next major update for its Neon Rush season is rumored to feature a theme, adding a fiery twist to the competition. Additionally, players might soon be able to customize SUVs in the same way they currently can with sports cars, potentially allowing these boxier vehicles to make the jump from battle royale to Rocket Racing.
This is just a glimpse into what might be coming. Leaks often precede new seasons, so expect more information to surface in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for updates as we learn more about Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3!
