Chapter 4 of Season 2 is quickly approaching, so players of Fortnite should start thinking about when the new season will begin and what it will contain. Chapter 4 of Season 1 ends on March 8, with the gate at Warden’s Watch having been shattered and a red gap having appeared in the sky.
As usual, Epic hasn’t said much about what will happen in the new season, but we can still figure out a lot. Let’s look at clues and past events to figure out when Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 will start, and then talk about what to expect from the new season.

When Will Fornite Chapter 4 Season 2 Release?
According to Polygon, Chapter 4 of Season 2 is now live! There are several battle pass skins to unlock, a new map with new points of interest (including Mega City), futuristic vehicles to drive, and much more.
Chapter 4 Season 2 will start on Friday, March 10, and Epic Games has confirmed that downtime will begin at 2am ET. Chapter 4 of Season 2 is expected to be released at the following time, based on the average downtime of prior seasons (two to five hours).
- 1 a.m. – 4 a.m. PST for the west coast of North America
- 4 a.m. – 7 a.m. EST for the east coast of North America
- 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. CET for western Europe/Paris
- 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. GMT for the U.K.
- 3 p.m. – 6 p.m. JST on Japan/Tokyo
Based on Epic’s declaration that Season 1 would conclude a few days earlier than expected, the official conclusion date for Season 1 was set as March 8. That makes sense, since seasons used to end and start on weekends in the past.
The date of March 10 was first confirmed by Cipher quests that came with the 23.50 update last week. The Cipher quests came with a “looping encrypted message” that says “3.1.0.2.0.2.3,” or March 10, 2023.

Eren is expected to arrive with his Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, which should work like the web-shooters in Chapter 3.
You can expect Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield from Resident Evil 4 to show up a little later, probably around the time the remake comes out on March 24. There are also two Star Wars skins and Force abilities to look out for. It has been speculated that Fortnite would finally add a first-person mode in Season 2.
In any case, that’s all we know about when you can expect to see Fortnite chapter 4 season 2. If you’d want to learn more, you can visit serveupdate.com.
