Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 release date

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 arrives onFriday, May 24, 2024, at 11 PM PT and May 23 at 2 AM ET / 6 PM BST. This is based on the end date for Season 2’s Battle Pass and is usually an accurate way to calculate a new season’s start date, but if things change we’ll be sure to update this section.

Once Season 2 winds down and the devs finish up their downtime after the season’s end, Season 3 for Chapter 5 will get underway.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 rumored theme

On May 16, the official Fortnite X account revealed Chapter 5 Season 3 will be titled “Wrecked,” but they haven’t shared any more details yet. On the other hand, players can spot teaser images on the PlayStation storefront that are seemingl related to a wasteland theme.

Rumors and speculation suggest that Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 will feature an apocalyptic theme after a war between the Greek gods and those who oppose them in the Fortnite universe.

This is mainly because of voice lines from The Oracle, a character in Fortnite’s latest season, which suggest that “doom is on the horizon,” mentioning black skies and choking dust. This character appears over the four Scrying Pools across the Chapter 5 Season 2 map, which you can interact with to talk to The Oracle.

The Oracle also states that “Zeus wants to end mortal kind,” potentially hinting at a war between mortals and the gods, which fits Season 2’s name, Myths & Mortals. Perhaps Midas is the hero that Fortnite’s mortals need, who has returned in Season 2.

It seems a mini live event is coming for the end of Season 2 that backs up this theory, as the statue by Mount Olympus has started to move and its sword has been struck by lighting. Maybe this is a sign of Zeus’ wrath and Season 2’s end will result in this suggested war between mortals and gods, as the rumor is that Chapter 5 Season 3 will feature a war-torn – or wrecked – map.

It’s important to remember that this is all just rumors and speculation, so take it all with a pinch of salt. We’ll be sure to update this once more is known about the new season of Fortnite.

Car hijack feature leaked for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3

Keeping in line with the Apocalypse theme for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3, leaks suggest that a new mechanic involving hijacking cars will be featured in the new season.

As per these leaks, you can hijack a car when it’s moving. GTA popularised this mechanic and, should the leaks turn out to be true, it will be seen in Fortnite as well.

Confirmed & leaked collaborations in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3

Epic Games finally confirmed a Fallout crossover is coming to Fortnite in Chapter 5 Season 3: Wrecked. The official image shows a first look at a new POI inspired in the popular franchise. Thanks to this, many players believe a Fallout skin will be unlockable through Quests the same way the Korra skin was during Season 2.

According to the leaked Fortnite 2024 roadmap that surfaced on 4chan, Chapter 5 Season 3 is also set to see multiple collaborations, including one with Pirates of the Caribbean and Metallica.

While the Metallica collaboration will mainly be for Fortnite Festival, the Pirates of the Caribbean collaboration will be seen in the Battle Royale mode and probably in LEGO Fortnite as well.

We also expect content such as a new Battle Pass and fresh collaborations for Season 3 of Fortnite Chapter 5, but there are currently no leaks or confirmed details regarding this.
