What Chapter is Fortnite on?
Epic GamesIn Fortnite, major storyline changes are marked by a shift in the Chapter, and this only happens once every few seasons.
Over the years, the number of seasons in a given Chapter has been drastically reduced, but the duration of the seasons has rarely crossed the four-month mark.
So, what is the current Chapter in Fortnite, and will there be a next Chapter after it?
Which is the current Chapter in Fortnite?
At the time of writing, Fortnite is currently in Chapter 5. The first Season in the Chapter concluded on March 8, while Season 2 ended on May 24. The ongoing Season 3 will end on August 16.
While it’s hard to predict the number of Seasons available in the current Chapter, it’s safe to assume that Chapter 5 will conclude after four Seasons.
Since each Fortnite season lasts about three months, a single chapter will span approximately 12 months if Epic Games limit it to four seasons.
