Renowned insiders, whose information has been confirmed multiple times, have shared fresh rumors and intriguing details about the upcoming second season of Chapter 6 in Fortnite. It has been revealed that the game will feature several new mechanics, collaborations, and a range of new skins and other cosmetic items for players.

When will Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 be released?

According to leaks published by some insiders, Epic Games plans to release Fortnite: Chapter 6, Season 2 on February 21, 2025, right after the current battle pass and corresponding first season end. However, there are no official announcements from EGS yet.

Epic Games plans significant updates throughout the season, including patches on March 11 (v34.10) and March 25 (v34.20). These will bring new content, bug fixes, and balance improvements. The main theme of the new season will be Heist.

New gameplay mechanics and modes

One of the most interesting innovations could be the SpikyBird chainsaw mechanic, similar to the Ripsaw Launcher weapon, which has appeared in Fortnite before. It will likely bring changes to melee combat principles, allowing players to break through structures and destroy enemies much faster than using a pickaxe. Additionally, the chainsaw has already appeared in the game as part of the Halloween event and collaboration with "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." Among other arsenal items will be a flare gun and C4 explosives.

New modes are also expected to appear, such as Vehicle Royale and Mini Battle Royale. Vehicle Royale will focus on combat involving vehicles, likely a team mode in the "red vs blue" style in Fortnite Creative. Mini Battle Royale will offer compact, fast matches that will appeal to players seeking a dynamic gaming experience.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 could feature a heist mechanic, allowing players to steal from NPCs, enemies, or even safes. Improvements in movement mechanics are also expected, such as swinging ropes, allowing for parkour-style traversal of the island.

Map updates may include volcanic zones and cherry blossom tree locations, adding dynamic environments for battles and exploration. The appearance of new NPCs related to the storyline of the second season is also anticipated.

Expected collaborations

According to various sources, Fortnite has planned more collaborations with other universes (games, movies, anime, cartoons), including Demon Slayer, King of the Hill, and James Bond, which we've heard about before.

Demon Slayer might add anime characters and weapons, King of the Hill might introduce Hank Hill as a playable character, and the James Bond collaboration could include thematic cosmetics, vehicles, and spy challenges.

There is also information that fans of the anime Jujutsu Kaisen should expect the appearance of several familiar characters, including:

• Ryomen Sukuna
• Mahito
• Toji Fushiguro

Battle Pass and skins

In Season 2 of Fortnite, a new battle pass will be introduced, including over 100 items, such as skins, emotes, and weapon wraps. According to leaks, the design will be a combination of futuristic and spy elements, as well as a continuation of the Japanese aesthetic from Chapter 6 Season 1.
