Fortnite Chapter 2 – Season 6: when does it start?
At the time we wrote this news, the only information about it is the one that appears in the game itself, within the “Battle Pass” tab of the Battle Royale menu. According to Fortnite itself, Season 6 of the Fortnite Chapter 2 Battle Pass would begin on Tuesday, March 16, 2021. It is at this time that patch 16.00 will arrive, which will bring all the content of the new season.

This date is not final and could be postponed – or advanced – depending on any unforeseen event, or change that Epic Games deems appropriate in the Fortnite content agenda.
Fortnite Chapter 2 – Season 5: will there be a final event?
Patch 15.50 was the most recent content update, and is expected to be the last for Season 5. Using data mining techniques and tools, we found no “compromising” files among the new files added with this update. By “compromising” we mean one that gave enough clues to suggest that there would be an event at the end of Season 5. In other words: it doesn’t look like there is an event this season, as it already happened at the end. from Season 3 of Chapter 2.
A significant change from the Season 5 story applied during this last patch was the fact that, since then, Zero Point has been much more unstable; It is badly cracked and makes sounds louder than before:

It does not give us clues about the new theme of Season 6; it’s just an updated art (the Fortnite logo and the iconic battle bus, little else).
