After such an Epic (no pun intended) end to Fortnite Chapter 1, it wasn’t all that surprising that we’ve had to ride out the first season of Chapter 2. Nobody thought it would be this long, though, and it just got a little longer. Extended from “early February,” Season 2 of Chapter 2 will finally kick off on February 20th.
The date of February 6th was originally uncovered by dataminers in the API, but that was changed to February 20th earlier this week, but that’s still about all we know. Epic has put out a date announcement but managed to hide anything of real value outside of the date by redacting anything else of importance:
With the addition of the 11.50 update, Chatper 2 – Season 2 is now expected to launch Thursday, February 20. Chapter 2 – Season 2 will feature [redacted] with multiple [redacted]. We can’t brief you on all of the next Season’s secrets just yet…
With Chapter 2 Season 1 finally drawing to a close, we know that there are more challenges in the works and a two-week event. What those challenges and two-week event will bring, however, remains a mystery.
As far as what those redacted bits in the above quite actually are, it’s hard to say. It seems like “Season 2 will feature more challenges with multiple events” would make sense, but then again, that’s just common sense speaking. If we know the folks over at Epic, and we do, there’s a little more than that in store for us when Chapter 2 Season 2 launches. We’ll obviously learn more soon, but it looks like we’ll have to wait just a bit longer for any extra information on Season 2.
