As Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 enters week six of 15, anticipation has been slowly but surely building up in anticipation for what's next.

With Zero Point having a strong showing thus far with blockbuster crossovers for Kratos and Master Chief, a new currency and bounty system, and an array of new Exotic weapons, the next Fortnite season will have big boots to fill. Here's the latest on when Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 will begin.

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6: What's the Latest?

Chapter 2 Season 5 of Fortnite launched Dec. 2, and is scheduled to run through March 15. It is important to note, however, that Epic Games has frequently pushed back the length of their events in the past, making it possible that the current season won't end precisely on that date.

If all goes according to plan, by that time Season 5 will have spanned 15 weeks, surely giving enough time for Agent Jonesy to gather the greatest hunters imaginable.

It can be assumed that Season 6 will drop within the same week of the current season's end. However, the question remains exactly how long it will take for the new season to begin.

Being that Season X took two days and Chapter 2 Season 4 took a one day hiatus following their predecessors, it is plausible that another break could be on the way.

Epic Games has been whisper quiet on their plans for Season 6 thus far, but that might be due to more Gaming Legends Series skins and Exotic weapons being in the works.
