Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3: Start Date

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3: News & Leaks
You know what Fortnite dataminers are like. They're constantly digging into the code, and pulling out one leak after another. And we're here for you to collect them all.
Live Event For Season End
There will be a live event, which has already begun.
For several days now, something has been brewing on the island, and the large statue at Mount Olympus has started shooting dangerous lightning at Pandora's Box. Presumably, this will be opened in some way at the end of Season 2, causing a sort of post-apocalypse on the map.

Loolo also points out that the mini-event will have 5 phases.
"Apocalypse" As The Next Season Theme
Through the leaked roadmap, we already know what will happen in the upcoming Fortnite seasons, and a teaser image for Season 3 has already been leaked.
So, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 will revolve around the theme of "Apocalypse." The image shows a lot of fire and smoke, as well as battling characters on a toppled Battle Bus.

Sand Biome And New Locations
Based on the roadmap, we could get a new huge sand biome with new POIs. What will happen to the god biomes from season 2 is not yet known, though.
Metallica & Pirates Of The Caribbean x Fortnite
Fortnite Festival will also get its own new season in the middle of the new Battle Royale Season 3. According to the roadmap, the well-known metal band Metallica will be coming to Fortnite!
In the Battle Royale mode itself, many leakers like Hypex expect a collaboration with Pirates of the Caribbean, centered around the iconic character Jack Sparrow.

Fortnite x Fall Guys Collaboration
Fall Guys is coming to Fortnite! After the collaboration was leaked in December 2023, it's now official. The collaboration with the in-house skill game is set to begin this summer.
Fall Guys is expected to be available in Fortnite's UEFN in May 2024. This means that players in UEFN can create their own Fall Guys maps! Alongside the familiar Fall Guys assets, Jump Pads and other items from Fortnite will also be available.
Epic has released a trailer showing what such maps could look like on X, formerly known as Twitter.

First Person Mode
According to a tweet from our favorite Fortnite leaker HYPEX, who has always been a reliable source of Fortnite leaks and news in the past, Epic Games has started developing a first-person camera mode.
In the meantime, more files have been found that clearly point to a first-person view. Whether this will then only be available in special modes or in zero builds is not yet known.
Flying Mounts
A slightly older Twitter post from HYPEX also states that Epic is working on “rideable, flying animals” for Fortnite. Apparently, players will be able to boost the animal for more speed and fly on “idle”. Idling would likely mean the mount could hover in the air to allow players to shoot more accurately or throw items. Earlier, an item that looked like a saddle in Fortnite was leaked. Presumably, this item could be related to the flying mounts.
However, we assume that the flying mounts will only come into the game in a later season.
New Sports Mode
According to HYPEX, Fortnite could introduce a new sports mode, expanding its gameplay into basketball and soccer. He writes:
FORTNITE SPORTS MODE Reminder that 3 years ago, Fortnite were working on Basketball "mini games" where you can play, watch NBA games, and more.. And they probably teased it with Football (Soccer) too during the event, so this might be the next big thing that they add pic.twitter.com/diwSrNiKMP

Chapter 5 Season 3 Map Changes & New POIs
With Chapter 5 Season 3, the Fortnite map might change a bit and chances are we'll discover some new places. As yet, nothing has been confirmed.
According to the leaked topic, it is quite possible that some locations such as Olympus and Grim's Gate will be destroyed in the new season.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3: Battle Pass Skins Leaked
Unfortunately, details about the next Battle Pass are not yet known. However, according to the leaked roadmap, there will be a collaboration with Pirates of the Caribbean in Season 3, which would of course bring none other than Jack Sparrow into the game!
The band Metallica will also be added to the game in the next season, but the associated skins will probably only be available in Festival Mode and in the Item Shop.
In addition, players suspect that in the next season, One Piece could finally come to Fortnite!
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 Battle Pass: New Weapons & Items
What would a new season be without new weapons and items? So far, there has never been a season, in which not a single new weapon has been added. Also, as always, a few old favorites will return to the game.
And that's it for now with the leaks.
As soon as there is more news, we will update this article again, so don't forget to check back from time to time!
