Fortnite employee accidentally confirms Chapter 3 release date

So far, the arrival of Fortnite Chapter 3 has only been surrounded by fan theories and concepts. Although these have been inspired by in-game events, there has yet to be an official announcement. However, a recent slip-up from an Epic Games official has all but confirmed the arrival of Chapter 3.

A Fortnite player recently contacted Epic Games support for an issue they were facing. While replying to the ticket, the support staff accidentally conveyed to the player the end date of the current chapter.

"The current chapter is here until December 5, 2021."

There is no doubt that Chapter 2 Season 8 will end on December 5. However, the community was curious whether it would be followed by Season 9 or Fortnite Chapter 3. Clearly, the slip-up from Epic support staff has confirmed all the fan theories about the next chapter.

Fortnite Chapter 3 will arrive on December 5

Instead of writing that the current season is here until December 5, the official wrote the "current chapter". Although some players and skeptics might pass this off as an honest mistake, many think that this indeed was an accidental slip-up.

Since the developers and staff are aware of the game's future, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to believe that the support staff knows about Fortnite Chapter 3. Therefore, when they have informed gamers about the current chapter ending, it can certainly be taken as credible information.
