It\u2019s a very interesting time to be a Fortnite<\/a> fan. Fortnite Chapter 2 is ending very soon, which means that the Fortnite Chapter 3 release date must be due in the near future as well.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, folks! Instead of powering ahead with Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 9<\/a> as many fans might have predicted, the developers at Epic Games have decided to wipe the slate clean and relaunch the iconic battle royale game with Fortnite Chapter 3.<\/p>\n

Much like the transition from the original-blend Fortnite to Fortnite Chapter 2, this changeover will be marked by a major live event and some server downtime, before the game is reborn with a new-look Fortnite map and significant changes for Fortnite Chapter 3.<\/p>\n

But when exactly is all of this going down? We\u2019ve got the skinny for you right here, so keep on reading and we\u2019ll tell you everything you need to know about Fortnite Chapter 3\u2019s imminent arrival.<\/p>\n

When does Fortnite Chapter 2 end?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Fortnite Chapter 2 will end on 4th December 2021<\/strong> with a live event aptly called The End. This exciting Fortnite event will kick off at 9pm GMT<\/strong> here in the UK, and we\u2019ve got more information about it further down this page. So keep on reading!<\/p>\n

When does Fortnite Chapter 3 come out?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It seems very likely that Fortnite Chapter 3 will come out on 4th December 2021<\/strong>, some time after The End live event. There will be a period of downtime between the event and the new chapter, so we\u2019d predict that it could be\u00a011pm<\/strong> before players in the UK can jump into the new season.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s just a guess on our part, though, so don\u2019t be surprised if the Fortnite Chapter 3 release date does slip into the early hours of 5th December 2021. When an official time is confirmed, we\u2019ll be sure to update this page.<\/p>

Fortnite Chapter 3 event<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Fortnite event that bridges the gap between Fortnite Chapter 2 and Fortnite Chapter 3 will take place in the game itself, with players able to team up in parties of up to 16 players.<\/p>\n

You and your pals will be able to queue when the playlist goes live at roughly 8.30pm\u00a0<\/strong>on\u00a04th December<\/strong>, half an hour before this exciting Fortnite event begins.<\/p>\n

This one-off event will bring the Cube Queen\u2019s reign of terror to an end, capping of her villainous Chapter 2 Season 8 storyline, with players that take part being rewarded with a new loading screen and wrap. If you\u2019re intrigued, take a look at the trailer below.<\/p>\n
