When does Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 start?
Once the upgrades are complete, Fortnite users should be able to launch into Chapter 5 Season 2: Myths & Mortals.

Olympian legends — including Hades and the thunder god Zeus — now rule the Island in otherworldly rage. To make matters worse, they’ve brought their powers and weapons with them. Use their mythological means against them.
