As we move into February, many Fortnite players are starting to wonder when Season 2 will kick off. Anticipation is building for the upcoming season, which naturally leads to speculation about the theme of Chapter 6, Season 2’s Battle Pass. We’re currently immersed in the Demon Hunters season, complete with its monster-slaying action. While players can still claim rewards related to Fortnite Godzilla until the season wraps up, the Kaiju won’t be making any more appearances in battle royale matches. Meanwhile, players can check out Fortnite OG Season 2 from Chapter 1, now underway, especially if they’re interested in revisiting Tilted Towers.
Epic Games is always on the move and will likely be planning future developments for Fortnite. This means players can expect various changes throughout the current chapter and beyond. If you’re curious about what Chapter 6, Season 2 might hold, here’s what we know so far.
When does Fortnite Season 2 start?
Fortnite Season 2 is expected to launch on Friday, February 21, 2025, although Epic Games hasn’t officially confirmed this yet. This date corresponds with the end of the Season 1 Battle Pass, which information from the Epic Games website and the in-game Battle Pass screen indicate will conclude on February 21 at 2 AM EST. Accordingly, Season 2 should begin right after, including the typical downtime that accompanies seasonal transitions.
What major changes can we expect in Fortnite Season 2 of Chapter 6?
It’s still too soon to specify what changes will occur in Fortnite Season 2 of Chapter 6, as we have some time before its launch. However, we can anticipate that the updates will not be as drastic as those introduced at the beginning of Chapter 6, which featured a new map, parkour mechanics, and a revamped menu interface, among other enhancements.
That said, there are some leaks hinting at potential changes. According to leaker @Loolo_WRLD, a vehicle royale mode could be in the works, suggested by the appearance of a “Blue team vehicle” tag in the game’s code. Additionally, @Loolo_WRLD also noted that a Mini BR mode might be added, utilizing the Reload plugin’s smaller map. Lastly, @HYPEX shared details about a new gameplay feature potentially linked to the Chainsaw or Ripsaw Launcher weapon.
As always, we expect to learn more about what’s on the horizon as the launch of Fortnite Season 2 approaches and new files related to the content become available through updates.
What will the cost of the Fortnite Season 2 Battle Pass be?
While Fortnite is free to play, purchasing the Battle Pass unlocks numerous extra rewards. The Fortnite Season 2 Battle Pass will cost 1,000 V-Bucks, a slight increase from 950 V-Bucks at the beginning of Chapter 6. This price still aligns with the smallest V-Bucks bundle available for $8.99 / £6.99, which offers 1,000 V-Bucks.
Players can also opt for the Battle Bundle upgrade to kickstart their experience, which boosts them straight to Tier 25 of the Battle Pass for 2,800 V-Bucks. This bundle can be purchased for $22.99 / £17.49 (which includes 2,500 V-Bucks, plus an extra 300 for free). Another option is the Fortnite Crew subscription, which costs $11.99 / £9.99 monthly and grants access to all Fortnite Passes, including the Battle Pass, along with 1,000 bonus V-Bucks and other exclusive rewards each month.
If you prefer not to spend money, there are ways to earn free Fortnite V-Bucks for the Season 2 Battle Pass, but be cautious of online scams! Just keep in mind that you only need 1,000 V-Bucks to unlock the upcoming Fortnite Battle Pass set to begin in February 2025.
That covers what we know about Fortnite Season 2 in Chapter 6 as of now. Stay tuned for more updates as they emerge!
