Fortnitehas officially released the end date of Chapter 2 Season 5, and revealed exciting information about Season 6. We’re looking forward to the official Chapter 2 Season 6 release onMarch 16, 2021, but there is a lot more to know before then! Take a look below to see what’s in store for the finale and some things we can expect from the upcoming events.
Chapter 2 Season 5
The most information they have revealed has, of course, been about the end of this insane, crossover-packed chapter that we’re currently playing. While we can safely assume the crossovers aren’t done with (and likely never will be), one must wonder what kind of outfits we’ll see in the next season.
End Date
Assuming the schedule doesn’t magically change over the next week, Season 5 will officially end onMarch 15. This will end the most significant season of collaborations in a way different than they’ve ever ended any season. Instead of the usual live event (e.g., when we all grouped together to defeat Galactus with the Battle Buses), we’ll be challenged with a solo mission as Jonesy.
Last Chance
With this season coming to a close, Epic has made several suggestions that also might reveal aspects of Season 6. The most noticeable, by far, is that they are suggesting we spend all our Gold Bars. The official statement suggests that they’ll be reset upon the new season, but we’re speculating that Gold Bars will no longer be used as a game mechanic (mostly because they weren’t that popular).
TheBreathless Blades Pickaxeis also still up for grabs until the season ends! You can obtain them by finishing the Epic Quests provided by Fishstick or Lovely before Season 6 starts.
This is also your last chance to level your account and get some of the higher-tier skins like the Topaz and Sapphire variants of the seven core hunters! We have a full list of all theBattle Pass skinsand their variants. Be sure to use it to know what goals you need to reach. Get those challenges done as soon as possible, as they’ll be gone next week!

Chapter 2 Season 6
You play through Jonesy’s final mission in the Zero Point Finale, which is technically part of Season 6. So far, what we know about the finale can be credited toEpic’s official statement:
When you first launch into the new Season, you’ll play through the conclusion of Agent Jones’ mission in the Zero Crisis Finale. The aftermath of this event is sure to shape Reality as we know it.
With such a vague comment, it’s hard to know exactly what about Reality will be shaped. Still, if it’s anything like the previous seasons (namely, all of them), we can expectmajor map changeswhen you finish the mission. Many rumors are being spread about what’s in store, but our favorite ones involve a DC/Marvel co-existence in theFortniteuniverse and the possibility of The Agency making its return.
We all knowBatman will be entering theFortniteUniverseat the start of this season, and it’s strange that they’re making such a big deal about Ant-Man this close to his entry. We’re hoping the two comic universes cross paths!
Fortniteis available via PC, Xbox, PS5, Switch, and Android devices. So if you’re excited for this Season’s final days, be sure to join in on the fun on almost any major platform!
