All good things must come to an end, and Fortnite constantly reinvents itself with new POIs, Battle Passes, and arsenals of weapons and items. As such, Fortnite's Chapter 5 Season 2, which began on March 8, 2024, is set to end fairly soon. With the Myths & Monsters season bringing about many new exciting characters from Greek Mythology, as well as a rather overpowered collab from Avatar: The Last Airbender, some players might be relieved to learn that this potential favorite season may soon be over to bring in the new.

One of the most important aspects of a new Fortnite season is completing all quests to earn every cosmetic and delightful set of V-Bucks from the Battle Pass, as well as experiencing the new POIs and weapons on offer for the ever-changing map. Yet, out with the old, in with the new.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 ends on May 24, 2024, at 2 AM ET, beginning with downtime.

With the end of Fortnite's Greek Mythology season coming relatively soon, players do not have long left to experience everything on offer. Whether that's claiming all pages in the Battle Pass, testing out the new weapons, battling the Olympian Bosses, or claiming the exclusive Victory Umbrella. With the end of Chapter 5 Season 2 coming soon, Chapter 5 Season 3 will take its place almost immediately.

When Does Chapter 5 Season 3 Start?

No teasers have yet been provided, and the exact time of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 has not been confirmed, it is expected that players will be able to jump into the newest season around May 24, 2024, at 9 AM - 1 PM ET, purely based on previous times from other season releases. The only time this method has been altered was when Chapter 5 Season 2 was delayed by a range of hours, and whether that's to happen with Chapter 5 Season 3 is unpredictable until the update is out for players to try.
