Fortnite Season 5 continues strongly, with more crossovers than players could ever expect, but it won’t be long before season 6 is supposed to begin. With Season 6 of Chapter 2 scheduled to begin this month, players have a new theme, cosmetics, another battle pass and much more to look forward to. While most of next season remains the same as all other previous seasons, players have at least some likely answers to some of their most pressing questions about next season.
Fortunately, past seasons, at least, have given us an idea of how things will end when season 5 moves to season 6. We’ll see some sort of big event happen that leads to a topic that has little to do with what’s going on. currently season and season 6 will continue to be based on this theme until you forget what even happened in season 5 and how we got there. As for the question of how we will get to this point and what we can expect after we get to season 6, below you will find out what you need to know about next season.
Epic Games usually announces the official start dates and times for next season by announcing when the current season finale event will take place, but that hasn’t happened yet. Until such announcements occur, the battle step always gives us an idea of when one season ends and another begins.
According to game information for the current battle pass, the season 5 pass will be available until March 15th. The breaks between seasons have been short and have only consisted of a few short downtime to let major events sink while the game undergoes maintenance to review the map and other features, so season 6 will probably begin on the 16th. of March, a Tuesday, unless it begins before that.
One of the constants of Fortnite it’s the big event at the end of every season that starts again. Whether it’s Galactus or something totally original from the battle royale game, these events are always a spectacle to watch and constantly try to surpass the previous one.
For season 5, whatever the final event, it will inevitably focus on the Zero Point entity that has been shaping up throughout the season. Data mining efforts have uncovered evidence that the zero point sphere is becoming unstable and have even suggested that these changes could affect players ’voice communications, but that part remains to be seen. We will almost certainly see the zero point at the center of everything that happens in the new season.
Efforts to analyze data will consistently reveal upcoming versions of the current season, but they are not as useful in predicting what will come next. Still, we’ve already gotten some previews of things that could get into season 6, as well as some ideas players have about how we’ll get to this season.
Some players have pointed out that the portals that appear around the map this season appear to have been strategically placed to form a cube shape. It remains to be seen how important this is, but it seems unlikely that it was involuntary.
It has also been suggested that Fortnite could get AI-powered vehicles in the future. With about ten days to go before the new season begins, these sorts of things look like things that will be used in season 6 perhaps after being featured in the last event of season 5.
Without knowing what the topic is for next season, it’s even harder to predict what will be in the battle step. We’ll have to wait for some leaks by March 15th to stream what they can about next season’s battle pass. Epic Games is usually quite reliable for sharing teasers on social media in the days leading up to next season, so we’ll at least catch a few visits from season 6.
