We've moved beyond Week 10 of the season in progress, so technically we're now in overtime (in all but name) and it's reasonable to ask when the start of Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3 is going to happen exactly. We were originally expecting the current season to finish at the end of April, a date earlier confirmed by Epic, however the end point has now been shifted back by another month. We've got a new set of Fortnite Location Domination challenges to keep us going during that time, and no doubt there are some more events planned to bridge the gap to Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3. It's still too early at this point to suggest what the theme and future direction will be for the game, but we can at least pinpoint when the next season is due to kick off.
After we all got somewhat burned by Season 1, aka The Season That Never Ends, we've got a greater amount of information this time as Epic have been much more forthcoming with specifics. This means we already know the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3 start date – or the proposed one at least, as the current global uncertainty means there's no definitives when it comes to future release schedules. If you've got your eyes on the next stage of the Fortnite story and are asking when does Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3 start, then we've got a summary of everything we know so far, including the expected start date.
A Fortnite season normally lasts for around 10 weeks, although that
has been subject to change in seasons of late – usually an extra week or
two is added on the end for overtime, but thanks to Christmas and other
events Chapter 2 Season 1 ended up running for a whopping 18 weeks!
Originally the current chapter was due to wrap up at the end of April,
but Epic have recently announced Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 will be
extended by one month meaning it will continue to run through May, and
the Chapter 2 Season 3 start date is now scheduled for June 4.
If you want to pick up the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3 Battle Pass to
unlock all of the additional rewards it provides, you'll need to spend
950 V-Bucks. The smallest bundle of V-Bucks is 1,000 and costs $9.99 /
£7.99, which is all you need to unlock the Battle Pass. You can also
gift the Battle Pass to a friend for $9.49 / £7.49, so if you really
don't want to use V-Bucks (or just want to give someone a helping hand)
then you can work this out with a buddy instead.
If you want to boost your start and get 25 Tiers of the Battle Pass included, you can upgrade and get the Battle Bundle, which costs 2,800 V-Bucks. That'll set you back $24.99 / £19.99 for the handily packaged 2,500 (+300 free) V-Buck bundle, which is exactly how much you'll need.
Of course, if you're wondering how to get free Fortnite V-Bucks, you can earn them throughout the current season, so just make sure that you've got 950 in the bank by the time the end of Chapter 2 Season 2 rolls around.
We're currently not sure where Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3 will go,
but we'll be keeping a close eye on everything that goes on during the
current season for clues. We weren't expecting a big change to happen
for Season 2 after the huge transition of the game to Chapter 2, but
with new locations, the secret agent theme, and AI enemies introduced
Epic have shown us that anything can happen. As always, keep an eye on
this page and we'll bring you all the big updates as they are
discovered.
