Guide by Lottie Lynn Guides Editor Additional contributions by Matthew Reynolds Updated on 2 Dec 2020 Fortnite Season 5 continues on from the Marvel themed Season 4, which was all building up to a mighty battle with Galactus. Season 5 looks like it will continue this Disney collaboration with a special skin. With this new season we can expect to see a new collection of battle pass skins, challenges and the new Fortnite subscription system - Fortnite Crew. This page explains the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 release time, estimated start time and everything else we know.

When is the new Season of Fortnite coming out Fortnite Season 5 release date and start time Update: And we are live! Here's what's new in Season 5: Season 5 Battle Pass skins New Fortnite map New Victory Umbrella Razor Crest location Fortnite bounties Fortnite gold bars Original story: Fortnite Season 5 is on track to release in early December. Epic Games recently confirmed that the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 release date is Wednesday, 2nd December and that the new subscription service, Fortnite Crew, will be released alongside it. The start time for Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 is at the following: UK - 9am (GMT) Europe - 10am (CET) East Coast US - 4am (EST) West Coast US - 1am (PST) This is despite what the countdown following the Galactus live event - which ends at 5am GMT, 6am CET, 12am EST (December 2nd) and 9pm PST (December 1st) - suggests, which is actually counting down to when server downtime will begin, according to developer Epic Games. During this period of downtime, expect a new patch to download. The countdown ends at 5am GMT - and the new season will be available four hours later. What is coming in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 Unlike with previous seasons, Epic Games has been rather tight-lipped about the theming for Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5. Instead, their focus has been on the final live event for Season 4 - the Nexus War. This battle will put you up against Galactus, who has slowly been making his way towards the island throughout the Fortnite season, and is expected to be the biggest live event Fortnite has put on so far. We do know, thanks to reliable Fortnite leaks source ShinnaBR from Twitter, what three of the Season 5 battle pass skins look like. Season 5 Battle Pass LEAK!!

Manage cookie settings If you're a Star Wars fan, then you can probably recognise the character standing in the middle. If not, that's the Mandalorian and, again according to ShinnaBR, he will be the 'secret' skin for Season 5, much like how Deadpool was for Season 2. For people who don't realize: The Battle Pass itself only has original characters! Just like in season 2, only the "secret" skin is a collab skin.- Shiina (@ShiinaBR) November 24, 2020 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Hopefully we'll uncover some new mysteries in Fortnite Season 5! Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 is here and with it comes a new Battle Pass! This season has introduced EvoChrome weapons, Chrome Splash locations and the ability to phase through walls. There are also new vault locations and map changes. The Paradise quests are this season's storyline challenges, including destorying Chrome objects to collect Chrome anomalies. Make sure to check out the upcoming The Herald skin too! Meanwhile, learn how to get XP fast, earn the Victory Umbrella and Victory Crowns. Fortnite Crew explained As mentioned previously, Fortnite Crew, the new monthly subscription service for Fortnite, will be released alongside Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5. Fortnite Crew will cost £9.99 / $11.99 per month and include access to the battle pass, a monthly V-Bucks allowance and a number of exclusive cosmetic items. Whether you subscribe to Fortnite Crew is in your hands - Fortnite will still be available for free and you can continue to simply purchase the battle pass if you so choose. It really comes down to whether or not you want the exclusive cosmetics. Good luck in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5!
