When Does Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 2 End?

Key Art for Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 2. This image is part of an article about when does the current Fortnite season end.

After months of rumors, Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 2 was confirmed to be Greek god-themed. Identifying itself by the slogan “Myths & Mortals,” this new outing isn’t short on fun. However, some are already frustrated by additions like the Wings of Icarus, which allow players to fly around the map and escape battle, so they’re looking forward to the end of Season 2.

By looking at how long Chapter 5, Season 1 lasted, it would seem like it’s pretty easy to figure out how long the current outing will last. Season 1 ran from December to March, meaning players would expect Season 3 to arrive sometime in June. However, Season 2 will run a bit shorter than its predecessor, concluding near the end of May. That means Fortnite will have a massive update just in time for summer break.

There’s also a fresh Battle Pass, which will conclude with the release of the Korra bonus skin, as well as plenty of new guns, such as Ares’ Warforged Assault Rifle.

And that’s when the current Fortnite season ends.
