Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 already looms on the horizon. If you've missed the current season or are already looking forward to what you can expect, we got you covered.

Chapter 6 Season 1 gave fans a ton of new and fun content, including a massive giant Godzilla boss and skin (that you can still obtain), in a unique Fortnite island themed around Japanese culture, specifically yokai.

Let's break down everything you need to know ahead of the release of Chapter 6 Season 2.

When does Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 start?

Chapter 6 Season 2 is set to start on Friday, February 21. That means Chapter 6 Season 1 will end in the early hours of said Friday as Epic takes the servers down for maintenance to prepare them for the update.

Chapter 6 Season 2 downtime

Epic Games has not shared any information about the downtime before the new season. Expect it to start at roughly 2 AM ET as it's often customary.

It's time to say goodbye to Season 1

Once we get full confirmation, we'll update this section.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 battle pass leaks

Just a few tidbits of information have been leaked regarding the battle pass or the general seasonal theme. After Epic suggested players could expect a "pickled" season, a leak states that a "robber pickle" skin will be a part of the battle pass.

Battle passes in Fortnite have dozens of interesting cosmetics that range from skins, emotes, emoticons, backblings, and pickaxes. On top of that, there's a mid-season content drop which has an exclusive skin available via battle pass quests.

Chapter 6 Season 2 collaborations

Like always, many leaks and rumors suggest Fortnite could receive a plethora of crossovers. Ahead of the release of Chapter 6 Season 2, there's a lot of interesting rumors. Some possible collabs that could happen during this season are:

A few are solid candidates to happen during Chapter 6 Season 2. WWE for instance, is on their road to WrestleMania, the company's most important event of the year, set to happen in April. The timing is almost too perfect.

Same with Devil May Cry. The DMC anime premieres via Netflix on April 3. Making this collaboration a prime candidate to occur during Chapter 6 Season 2.

As always, remember not all could happen during this season. Some may be planned for future Chapters or may not happen at all.
