What time does Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 start?
Fortnite‘s new season, Odysseybrings a piece of Greek mythology to the island. Fortnite Odyssey arrives at March 8, 2024, with Zeus, Cerberus, Ares and other Greek gods.
Let’s see when Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 launches based on clues and history, then talks about what we can expect from the new season, and when we can reasonably expect the new Fortnite season to start.
What time does Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 start?
With a launch date of Friday March 8 expected, we can make some educated guesses about launch times based on history. Server downtime usually starts around 2 or 3 a.m. (EST) and typically lasts about four hours (depending on the time). That means we can reasonably expect that Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 goes live:
- 1am – 4am PST off the west coast of North America
- 4am – 7am EST off the east coast of North America
- 8am – 11am GMT for Great Britain
- 9am – 12pm CET for Western Europe/Paris
- 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM JST about Japan/Tokyo
What to expect in Fortnite Odyssey Chapter 5 Season 2
Towards the end of C5S1, a huge hand erupted from the island not far from Ruined Reels. The Titan’s hand left a box dangling from chains that players immediately began destroying. When Pandora’s Box was opened, a fiery column (full of screaming souls) shot into the sky, setting up this Greek mythology-themed season.

Based on leaks and official hints, C5S2 is also expected to introduce a new way to traverse the island.
Fortnite C5S2 new skins and myths
Several Greek gods (and other mythical creatures) are expected to have skins in the new chapter, including Zeus And Hades – both of whom have already been plagued – and six other Greek gods. Presumably they will all get mythical weapons as well.
