Chapter 2 Season 5 of Fortnite has been a massive success so far, and Season 6 is just around the corner. Several data miners have been at work to unravel the mystery around the next season.
Epic Games has done well to keep most of the important details under wraps, but there are some details already available in the form of leaks and rumors.
Epic Games confirmed a few weeks back that the current season will last 15 weeks and that the Battle Pass will expire on March 15th, 2021, indicating that Season 6 will commence right after.
The 100-man battle royale is known for its mind-bending crossovers. Fortnite, over the last few years, has surprised its community with many collaborations. If some of the rumors are to be believed, Star Wars cosmetics could be returning to Fortnite.

The cosmetics weren't modified until patch update 15.50, which suggests that they might be returning soon. There is a growing notion within the Fortnite community that they could come around May 4th.
The Hand Cannon pistol was vaulted as part of the aforementioned update. While weapons are vaulted and unvaulted at frequent intervals, there is a possibility that new weapons will be making their way to the Fortnite island in Season 6.

The new loading screen shows players jumping off with their gliders while the battle bus explodes in the sky. This could be a sign of an end-of-season event that's yet to come, or it may be related to Season 6 in Fortnite.
Data miners believe that the loading screen is directly linked to changes happening in the map, which might unfold with the introduction of Chapter 2 Season 6.
Data miners have also suggested that the Zero Point will destabilize after the 15.50 update. Apparently, after the Fortnite update, the Zero Point will be sending out four waves over the course of a few weeks as it destabilizes.
Data miners expect these waves to act as small events in the game, which lead up to Season 6.
