Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2: Start Date, Theme, Battle Pass, Leaks, And Rumors
Fortnite Chapter 6 has gotten off to a pretty strong start, adding new permanent modes with Fortnite OG and Ballistic, dropping a full-sized Godzilla on the island, and ushering in the game’s Hatsune Miku era. But Chapter 6 Season 2 is just around the corner, bringing with it a whole new slate of attractions. With a few days to go before Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 starts, here’s everything we know so far–including the details for the season finale event.
When does Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 begin?
Season 1 is currently scheduled to come to a close on February 21 at 11 PM PT/ 2 AM ET. That would mean that Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 should begin a few hours later on the morning of Friday, February 21.
Will Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 have a live finale event?
The NPC Daigo has moved on from his spot at the mask store in Masked Meadows and has taken up new residence by the unused portal in the mountains above Warrior’s Watch, and that will be the where this season’s story will conclude with some sort of live event on Saturday, February 15 at 2 p.m. ET. The event will take place during rounds of battle royale, and it’s likely that, like other similar recent events, players will not be able to harm each other while they’re in this are during the event. But that’s not a guarantee.

Fortnite chapter 6 Season 2 battle pass and season theme
Epic dropped its first proper teaser for Chapter 6 Season 2 on Wednesday, the above image which reveals the Lawless season title and a new location on the battle royale map called Crime City. It also shows what we can presume are two battle pass skins: a pickle man called Big Dill, and a new version of Midas modeled after Dominic Toretto from Fast & Furious. More on that last bit later.
Leaks say Chapter 6 Season 2 will be another heist season, and that tracks with the above tease. Fortnite has had a lot of heist seasons, including two different ones in Chapter 4. Since Chapter 6 already echoes Chapter 4 with the feudal theme and a throwback version of the Japan biome from that map–Seaport City is basically proto-Mega City in terms of its layout and structure, and the surrounding areas are very similar–the return of a prominent Chapter 4 theme isn’t too shocking.
Epic Games co-founder Mark Rein has the seasonal tradition of teasing each upcoming season with a single word--his word for Season 12 is "pickled." We don't know what all that terms entails, but it likely involves the previously mentioned pickle man.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 potential collabs
Like we said above, there aren't any confirmed details yet about Chapter 6 Season 2 cosmetics. But it's been rumored for a hot minute that both Dominic Toretto and Han Lue from Fast & Furious will receive skins soon, and their cars--Dom's Dodge Charger and Han's Mazda RX-7--will finally be ported from Rocket League. Maybe Dom could be on the battle pass, though with that new Midas there, it might be a little awkward to have two different guys on the pass wearing a black sleeveless tee with a gold chain.
Meanwhile, a new crime-themed season set on a Japan-themed island is apparently the right time for a collaboration with the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series of video games, which has a new spinoff title releasing the same day Season 2 starts. Leaks say the first wave of Yakuza cosmetics will feature Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima skins.
But there are some rumored collaborations coming up that may fall into Season 2. In particular, there have been reports of cosmetics based on James Cameron's Avatar. These will likely come to the shop, but you never know.
Meanwhile, Fortnite has been advertising heavily during WWE events lately, including Monday Night RAW in January, Royal Rumble on February 1, and also the upcoming Elimination Chamber in March. But none of the existing WWE skins have even appeared in the item shop in seven months and counting, so we're overdue for some wrestling content in Fortnite.
Other rumors and leaks for Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2
One particularly interesting change that Epic made with Chapter 6 was to allow players to use their Festival guitars and other instruments as pickaxes and back blings, dramatically increasing the hypothetical usefulness of those cosmetics--if you like hitting things with guitars, anyway. Now, reportedly, Epic is looking at doing something similar with kicks by turning the shoes that certain skins are wearing into kicks--meaning, for example, that buying the Green Roots Billie skin would also grant you her green and black Air Force 1 Mids as kicks to use on any skin.
Stick around as we'll be updating this roundup of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 news, rumors, and leaks frequently as we approach the start date.
