Fortnite: What time does Chapter 6 Season 2 Lawless go live?

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 is released this week, but it’ll go live at a specific time.

Epic Games doesn’t always make it clear when each new season is about to go live, but we do at least know when the current season will end.

This helps us to at least figure out when Season 2 is going to go live, based on how long the gap has been between seasons in the past.

Epic says Chapter 6 Season 2 will start on Friday, February 21, but it doesn’t given an exact time for when that’ll happen.

What it has told us, however, is the exact time that Chapter 6 Season 1 will end. According to Epic, Season 1 will shut down on the evening of February 20 at 11pm PT.

Usually once a season ends Fortnite will immediately shut down, and Epic Games will then spend up to four hours performing maintenance work on the game to add the next season.

With that in mind, then, here are the times when Chapter 6 Season 2 will almost certainly be ready to go in your part of the world.

• USA (Pacific Time) – Friday, February 21 at 3am
• USA (Eastern Time) – Friday, February 21 at 6am
• UK (GMT) – Friday, February 21 at 11am
• Europe (CET) – Friday, February 21 at 12pm (noon)
• South Korea (KST) – Friday, February 21 at 8pm
• Japan (JST) – Friday, February 21 at 8pm
• Australia (AEDT) – Friday, February 21 at 10pm
• New Zealand (NZDT) – Saturday, February 22 at 12am (midnight on Friday night)

Fortnite: What’s in Chapter 6 Season 2, Lawless?

As the name suggests, Chapter 6 Season 2 of Fortnite will focus on breaking the law.

At the time of writing this article, Epic Games hasn’t confirmed exactly what the new Lawless features entail, but a description under the game’s latest trailer suggests it might be a sort of cops and robbers style theme similar to something you might see in GTA Online.

“Ransack Fletcher Kane’s banks, pull off a train heist and make an explosive getaway in Battle Royale Chapter 6 Season 2: Lawless, starting February 2,” it says.

We also know about one of the cameo crossover characters who’ll appear in the next season.

Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat will appear in Season 2, and will presumably be unlockable through the Battle Pass, just like Baymax was in Season 1.
