Fortnite’s Season 5 continues to be strong, with more crosses than players could ever hope for, but it won’t be long before season 6 should begin. With Chapter 2 Season 6 scheduled to be released at some point this month, players have a new theme, cosmetics, another combat license and much more to look forward to. While most of next season remains undercover just like any other previous season, players have at least a few likely answers to some of the most pressing questions about next season.
Fortunately, past seasons have given us at least an idea of how things will go down when season 5 moves into season 6. We’ll see some kind of big event happen, which leads to a vaguely related theme. what happened in the current. season, and season 6 will continue to be based on this theme until you forget what happened in season 5 and how we got there. As for the question of how we will get to that point and what to expect after we get to season 6, you can find below what you need to know about next season.
Epic Games usually announces the official start dates and times for next season, announcing when the current season-ending event will take place, but that hasn’t happened yet. Until such announcements happen, the battle step always gives us an idea of when one season ends and another begins.
According to the information in the game for the current fighting step, the step of season 5 will be available until March 15. The past breaks between seasons have been short and consisted of only a few short downtime to let big events sink while the game is undergoing maintenance to review the map and other features, so season 6 will likely start on the 16th March, Tuesday, unless it starts earlier than that.
One of the constants in Fortnite it’s the big event at the end of every season that starts things up again. Whether it involves Galactus or something totally original for the Battle Royale game, these events are always a sight to behold and are constantly trying to surpass the previous one.
For Season 5, whatever the final event will inevitably focus on the Zero Point entity that is on the map throughout the season. Data analysis efforts have found evidence of the zero point sphere becoming unstable and have even suggested that these changes could affect players’ voice communications, but this part remains to be seen. We will almost certainly see the Zero point at the center of everything that happens to bring in the new season.
Data analysis efforts will consistently reveal future skins for the current season, but they are not as useful when it comes to predicting what follows. However, we did get some previews of things that could come in season 6, as well as some ideas that players have about how we will get into that season.
Some players have pointed out that the portals that appear around the map this season appear to have been strategically placed to form a cube shape. The importance of this remains to be seen, but it seems unlikely to have been unintentional.
It has also been suggested that Fortnite could get AI vehicles in the future. With only about 10 days left before the start of the new season, this kind of thing seems to be something that would have been used in season 6, probably after it was introduced in the final event of season 5.
Without knowing what the theme is for next season, it is even more difficult to predict what will be in the fight. We’ll have to hope for a few leaks from now until March 15 to give them what they can in connection with next season’s fight. Epic Games is usually pretty reliable about sharing teasers on social media in the days leading up to next season, so we’ll see at least a few pieces of a few skins from season 6.
