Fortnite Chapter 3: Every significant information that gamers need to know

Release date and time

Ever since the Fortnite Chapter 3 leak started going around, gamers have been desperate to know about the release dates. Even though Epic is yet to release an official statement regarding the same, data miners have already revealed the probable dates.

The current season ends on December 5, which is a Sunday. The developers release each and every update for Fortnite on Tuesdays. Therefore, it is certain that Fortnite Chapter 3 will be released on December 7, 2021.

The news was also supported by popular data miner Hypex who received the news from an internal source.

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 is expected to end with the Black Hole event. Since a new chapter will have to be released, it is certain that the developers will require some time to upload the contents. Therefore, the December 7 date is justified and ticks every criterion.

The release time for Fortnite Chapter 3 is yet to be revealed by the developers. However, going by past trends, we can speculate that the update will be available from 4:00 AM ET on December 7, 2021.


Fortnite Chapter 3 leaks

Gamers who are anticipating the arrival of the new chapter should check out the leaks that have come out. These leaks provide significant details about the upcoming chapter and will help gamers understand what to expect.

New Map

Each new chapter of Fortnite takes gamers to a new island. Therefore, there is no reason to think why Fortnite Chapter 3 won't be offering a new map to gamers.

Of late, an artist's creation of the Fortnite Chapter 3 map went viral online. Even though it is certain that Epic won't follow it blindly, gamers can expect some aspects to be the same.

Sliding mechanics

Epic has been testing the sliding mechanics for some time, however, gamers are yet to see it in the game. The wait seems to be over as recent leaks indicate that Epic will most definitely add sliding mechanics to Fortnite Chapter 3.


End of Season Live event

The end of any season is incomplete without any live event to show the transition of the island. It is no surprise that Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 will also have one to mark the end of the Cubed-themed season and the entry into a new reality for Chapter 3.

As of now, quite a number of theories are floating in the community. However, most gamers and data miners seem to be fixed upon the speculation that the island will be engulfed by a massive Black Hole after the Cube Queen wreaks havoc on the island.
