Fortnite enthusiasts have a lot to be excited about, as the expected update roadmap for the game has seemingly been spilled online. Even with Chapter 6 Season 1 just a few weeks out, Epic Games appears to have either strategically or inadvertently exposed the entire timeline for the next series of content updates, including the next “OG” season debut. This revelation comes on the heels of recent events such as the Godzilla x Kong collaboration, promising fans plenty of new content in the not-too-distant future.
Leaks seem to be a part of the gaming world, with Fortnite often at the center of attention. The game’s multitude of collaborations, crossovers, and updates frequently surface online ahead of official announcements. While some leaks amount to nothing, plenty—like Fortnite’s various Marvel team-ups and the kaiju-themed update—have been uncovered well in advance. Though these leaks can sometimes spoil the surprise element of unannounced updates, they can also stoke excitement, as players are currently experiencing with the much-anticipated Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 update, which has been seemingly unveiled before its official kick-off.
Epic Games’ public Trello board is the source of the latest leak, displaying the schedule for the forthcoming Fortnite Season 2 updates. This board is where Epic lays out upcoming patches, bug fixes, and news about Fortnite’s diverse modes. According to this schedule, Chapter 6 Season 2 is set to start on February 21, 2025, with another update following closely on March 11. However, what this update will bring remains to be seen. Season 3 of Fortnite OG is slated for a March 25 release, continuing the beloved “back to basics” experience that began in 2024.
Looking forward to April, there are two updates on the books—one for April 8 and another for April 22. What’s included in these updates is still a mystery. Assuming the current table holds true, players can look forward to Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 launching on May 2. It’s crucial to remember that these dates are tentative and may shift, something Epic Games has acknowledged on its Trello card. Epic remains transparent about Fortnite’s steady stream of updates and tweaks, sharing even minor weapon and balance adjustments across its many social media platforms.
As highlighted earlier, players are eagerly counting down to the conclusion of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, which ends on February 21. This season delivered a wealth of new content, including fresh weapons, characters, and a smattering of new Points of Interest (POIs). It’s still unclear how much of the current season’s map will be retained in Season 3, though whispers suggest the next update might embrace a heist theme.
Fortnite, since its launch in July 2017, has allowed players to craft, compete, and battle alongside friends for free. Whether taking on opponents in Battle Royale and Zero Build or attending a concert or live event, the game offers a plethora of experiences set within vast, ever-changing landscapes. Players can join forces to earn a Victory Royale by either building up in Fortnite Battle Royale or taking the no-builds route in Fortnite Zero Build. Additionally, the game showcases creator-made modes across genres like racing, parkour, and survival, with adventures tailored for all types of players.
