Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 was released in December 2021, bringing the first new map since October 2019, and also saw the loot pool completely overhauled with no weapons carrying over from the previous Chapter 2.

Since then, a few older weapons and items have returned such as the Flare Gun, as well as the return of the iconic Tilted Towers POI.

With the new season coming very soon, and Epic Games yet to release any teasers for the upcoming season, it is understandable that many players are confused as to when Chapter 3 Season 2 will begin.

According to Fortnite’s Battle Pass screen, it says that Chapter 3 Season 1 is set to end on Saturday, March 19. Epic Games has now confirmed that the season will in fact end one day later on Sunday, March 20, with downtime beginning at 3 am EST/7 am UTC.

The 20.00 update will likely last for 2-3 hours before the servers come back online and players are able to hop into Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2.
