May 13, 2024: We've updated our guide with all the latest information on what Chapter 5 Season 3 has

On the hunt for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 release date information? You've come to the right place.

With Chapter 5 Season 2 nearing its completion, Fortnite players are looking at what's next for the battle royale, especially after a big leak allegedly revealed the entire roadmap for 2024.

Let's break down everything we currently know about Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 and discuss potential leaks about content and cosmetics we could expect to see during this timeframe.

When Does Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 Start?

Epic Games has revealed that Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 will begin on May 24, 2024. This coincides with the end date of Chapter 5 Season 2.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 Leaks

At the time of writing, there's plenty of content left to enjoy in Chapter 5 Season 2 including a new Star Wars collaboration, so details are scarce regarding the upcoming season.

The roadmap leak did uncover some secrets. While it's still unconfirmed content, the fact that Billie Eilish ended up coming to Fortnite when the roadmap stated she would gives the leaks some validity.

Is Jack Sparrow coming to the island?

The biggest piece of leaked information concerns a big crossover scheduled for Chapter 5 Season 3, and that's Pirates of the Caribbean. According to the roadmap, a collaboration with Disney's IP is set to happen during this season.

Whether it's just skins or a mini-event within Chapter 5 Season 3 remains to be seen but considering the season is allegedly going to have a post-apocalyptic theme, pirates ravaging the Fortnite island could make sense.

Fortnite x Metallica

There's no better way to celebrate a post-apocalyptic season than by cranking up some headbanging metal from one of the most iconic bands in the genre. That's right, according to the leaked roadmap, Metallica will be the next musical crossover in Fortnite.

Billie Eilish is the current featured artist

Metallica won't only be replacing Billie Eilish as the featured artist in Fortnite Festival but the band could also have an event slated to occur within the battle royale modes.

Expect a ton of Jam Tracks, instruments, and some amazing skins to join the game if the crossover ends up being confirmed.

There was one more collaboration scheduled to happen during Chapter 5 Season 3 - Fall Guys. Sadly, that's been delayed until the Summer, so that leaves two potential collaborations that we know of.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 Theme

So far, there have been no clues surrounding the theme of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3. Season 2 focused on Greek Mythology and with plenty of crossovers reportedly taking place when the new season begins, there's a chance it could be a focal point of the entire season.

That's all we know about Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 so far. As more information is revealed, we'll be updating the article accordingly so keep it bookmarked.
