The end date of Chapter 5 Season 2<\/a> is confirmed in-game on the battle pass screen, at least, which gives us an excellent idea of when Season 3 will begin.<\/p>\n As always with these things, though, everything is finalised once confirmed by Epic Games. Seasons have been extended in the past, and the release date for Chapter 5 Season 3 hasn\u2019t officially been revealed.<\/p>\n This doesn\u2019t stop speculation and educated guesses. It doesn\u2019t stop rumours and leaks, either.<\/p>\n Read on to find out when the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 release date should be, and to learn about the latest rumours and leaks suggesting what it might entail.<\/p>\n The Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 end date is 24th May 2024<\/b>, as confirmed in-game on the battle pass screen.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been confirmed, too, that the Chapter 5 Season 2 end time in the UK is 7am <\/b>on 24th May 2024. That\u2019s 2am ET for you over in the US.<\/p>\n As always, though, it\u2019s worth pointing out that the end date and time above are what is currently <\/i>confirmed. Epic Games can change its mind and extend the season, which has happened before.<\/p>\n If any changes are made to the timings of the current season in Fortnite, we\u2019ll learn about that closer to 24th May \u2013 we\u2019ll update this page if Epic Games announces anything on this front.<\/p>\n For now, take it that Chapter 5 Season 2 is ending at the date and time above.<\/p> The Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 release date should be on 24th May 2024<\/b>, which is the currently listed end date of Chapter 5 Season 2.<\/p>\n In terms of a precise start time, we can\u2019t offer anything too accurate beyond what day Chapter 5 Season 3 should start because of that pesky downtime.<\/p>\n As with all major patches in Fortnite, expect there to be a few hours of downtime between the ending of Chapter 5 Season 2 and the start time of Chapter 5 Season 3. We won\u2019t know how much downtime to expect exactly until the day of the new season going live itself.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll update this page when we\u2019re able, once Epic Games confirms the launch timings of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3.<\/p>\n [squirrel-affiliate-playlist squirrel_playlist_id=\u201d653\u2033 \/]<\/p>\n Given that we\u2019re some time off its release date, there aren\u2019t many Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 leaks and rumours to tell you about.<\/p>\n One rumour is pointing towards a potential apocalypse theme<\/b>, however.<\/p>\n X (formerly known as Twitter) user FNChiefAko has proposed their theory that \u201cApocalypse MIGHT be S3\u2019s Theme\u201d.
