The wait for Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 5 is slowly coming to an end. Only a couple of weeks remain before The Paradigm and Loopers will take on The Herald in a stellar end-of-season live event. Naturally, players have started counting down the days until the ongoing season ends and a new one starts.

Epic Games is yet to announce an official release date for the upcoming season. However, even without an official announcement, there is enough information available to figure out when the ongoing season ends. Dataminers have gone through the game files and leaked when Chapter 3 Season 4 is about to end.

When will Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 5 start?

Chapter 3 Season 4 hasn't been as exciting as some of the previous seasons in this chapter. Besides the Halloween 2022 event, which too was extremely dull, the ongoing season didn't have a lot to offer. The Herald and Chrome seemed like an interesting concept when it was introduced. Unfortunately, it failed to excite players who are now looking forward to the next season.

For all those wondering when Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 5 starts, the Battle Pass menu is the best hint. Every season, the Battle Pass menu shows how long players have before the pass ends. This date usually coincides with the end of the season, and a few hours after the new season starts.

Previously, the Battle Pass was set to end on December 3rd. However, this date has now been changed to December 2nd. This has also been confirmed by popular leakers like ShiinaBR on Twitter. Since this is a Friday and seasons usually end on Saturdays, players can expect a 2-day downtime. This could also mean that the end-of-season event will last long, or might arrive on Saturday, December 3rd.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 5 is almost certain to be released on December 4th. Therefore, players have 24 days left at the time of writing to complete the Battle Pass and unlock all rewards.
