Everything we know about Fortnite Chapter 3

If Fortnite Chapter 3 truly is coming in early December, then we’ve just been treated to an epic reveal that will take place during its inaugural season. Let’s just hope the trail of breadcrumbs Epic has left the community doesn’t lead to nowhere!

Following the release of the Cube Queen skin and her cosmetics, we’ve been given some more than subtle hints that the end of Chapter 2 is very near. Then an Epic Games higher up has had their say on the rumours.

Whether it’s suspicious lines in a song or an outright threat to the island, these clues are shining a huge spotlight on the end of Season 8 and potentially being the end of Chapter 2 as well. Here’s what we know so far about the potential arrival of Fortnite Chapter 3…

Fortnite 19.01 Testing Begins

We’re still none the wiser about whether Chapter 3 or Season 9 is next, but the next season shouldn’t be too far away now. Epic is already testing 19.01, which will be the first hotfix of the next season.

This news has been widely reported by Fortnite news sites and leakers, so hopefully we’ll hear something official soon.

Epic Co-Founder Chimes In

After being directly asked on Twitter about whether Season 9 or Chapter 3 was next in the Fortnite calendar, Epic Co-Founder Mark Rein responded with ‘Time will tell’.

Of course this could be further stoking the flames to get the community hyped but it’s also a dangerous game to play if the end product doesn’t deliver.

It’s starting to look more and more likely that Chapter 3 is just around the corner.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Start Date

If the clues are indeed trying to tell us that there will be no Season 9 and instead we’ll be moving straight into Chapter 3, it would start on or around Monday, 6 December. We do know that Season 8 ends on Sunday, 5 December and will likely do so with a big blowoff event.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Cube Queen

She could be the key to it all…

This may seem a bit soon to many players given that Chapter 1 lasted a lot longer and a transition like this feels like it should have a lot more hype. In reality, Epic would be hesitant to announce something like this ahead of time as it has a much greater impact if done as a surprise.

Chapter 3 Hints / Clues

There have been many clues in the last few days to point towards Fortnite Chapter 3. Initially, the main theory came from @FNChiefAko on Twitter. They theorised that the Cube Queen was the key to everything and could trigger Chapter 3 at the end of Season 8.

This came down to strange wording in the Cube Queen anthem and text attached to her cosmetics. What started as a theory which actually gained a fair bit of backlash, more and more leakers and creators have come out to validate the information and what it points to.

No one is sticking their neck out to guarantee Chapter 3 which is understandable, but it appears that a lot more people are on board with the theory!
