When does Fortnite Chapter 3 Start?

The community is buzzing with excitement.

It started as a simple suggestion from a prominent Fortnite leaker but now the belief that Chapter 3 is next on the calendar has reached dizzying heights. The arrival of the Cube Queen and some suspicious cosmetic descriptions both hinted at a connection to past events and the destruction of the current map.

Give the Fortnite community a tiny piece of thread and they’ll sure tug on it until they unravel the truth and in a strange turn of events, the truth might be that the rumours were right all along.

When does Fortnite Chapter 3 Begin?

If Fortnite Chapter 3 is indeed what’s next up for the game, then it will begin on or around Monday, 6 December. We know that Season 8 will end on Sunday, 5 December, we’re currently unsure of how much downtime there will be following the conclusion of the season.

One of the reasons that so many believe that Chapter 3 is next is because the black hole assets that were used at the end of Chapter 1 have been found in the game once again. This leaves fans wondering if they’re about to be used following the end of season event and could lead to extended downtime like for the transition from Chapter 1 to 2.

It’s very likely that if the black hold was used, Fortnite would go into extended downtime from Sunday, 5 December through to Tuesday, 7 December. This is only because Tuesday is the typical day for updates to take place. The last time the black hole was used this was the case as it was around for approximately 37 hours.
