We are in the last days of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1, so many of you are asking the same question during these days: “When will the new Fortnite season start?” In this article, we will answer this and other related questions, including everything that is known about the new season of Fortnite, the popular video game from Epic Games.

Fortnite New Season Start Date and Time

That is, to play the new season of Fortnite, we will have to log into the game from the day and time indicated depending on our time zone, and we will have to download patch 29.00, which is the one that will bring all the new content. The Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 will be the 29th season of the game.

What is the new Fortnite season all about?

The final days of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 are dedicated to an in-game mini-event that serves as a teaser for the upcoming season. A giant hand of a Titan -a deity that predates the Olympian gods in Greek mythology- emerges from the ground holding Pandora’s Box. Players will be able to break the chains holding Pandora’s Box to the Titan’s hand to unleash all sorts of evil on the island, including tornadoes and thunderstorms.

In addition to this, the Odyssey Quests also propose that we complete a peculiar Mosaic depicting the three heads of Cerberus, a three-headed dog that in Greek mythology guarded the entrance to the underworld, preventing the dead from escaping and the living from entering.

The mosaic would represent an outfit of Cerberus, which will appear in the game next season:

To sum up, the theme of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 will be Greek mythology. In previous surveys, we have been able to see how there were outfits representing deities of ancient Greece such as Athena, Ares, Hades, Persephone, and Zeus.

Odyssey, who gives us the quests that consist of investigating the mosaic and is only an NPC for now, should also be a Battle Pass outfit.
