Fortnite officially revealed the release date for Chapter 2 - Season 2. So when is the big day going to be? The launch is going to be on February 20.
That's not all for Fortnite in February though, as early next month update 11.50 will release. The update is going to move Fortnite to make use of Unreal Engine’s Chaos physics system. While the goal is to make sure that the game continues to feel like Fortnite, the development team revealed that that there are going to be some bumps along the way. This upcoming update is going to be tested with a small group of players first to gather feedback for improvements made over time.
Fortnite said that before the current season ends, additional Overtime Challenges are going to be offered along with a new two-week event.
