Here’s what to expect heading into Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is nearing its end. With Season 3 expected to launch May 24, teasers, rumors, and leaks have surfaced. Apart from the obvious Fortnite roadmap leak, some mini-events have occurred on the current map in the lead-up to Chapter 5 Season 3. Today, we’ll explain the leaks, mini-events, and more for the new season.
When is the next Fortnite mini-event?
Fortnite leaker iFireMonkey believes the next, potentially final, Pandora’s Box event will occur at 2 p.m. EST on May 15. If true, you will want to head to Mount Olympus at that time to see what unfolds.
Phase 1 of the Chapter 5 Season 3 mini-event is complete
Unlike the Pandora’s Box event from Season 2, these in-game mini-events appear to be happening without warning. The video above shows precisely what unfolded during the first phase of this event. It depicts the statue raising its sword to the sky and striking a lightning bolt into Pandora’s Box.
Following the lightning strike, iFireMonkey shared a clip of Pandora’s Box slowly filling up, but it’s unclear what will happen next.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 mini-events center around Mount Olympus
Many leakers have posted about the mini-events happening on the current Fortnite map. These occur at the Mount Olympus point of interest (POI), where players can direct their attention to the massive statue.
As you can see in the video above, the statue’s eyes lit up, accompanied by dark clouds, thunder, and lightning. Leakers have also indicated that a sandstorm will occur on the map before Chapter 5 Season 2 concludes.
The mini-events indicate that Chapter 5 Season 3 will feature a “Post-Apocalyptic,” based on the roadmap leak. It’s unclear how often these in-game events will happen, but they should occur more frequently as the days progress. Now that we’ve covered the mini-events, let’s cover some leaks.

What you can expect in Season 3
Reliable Fortnite leaker HYPEX detailed what fans can expect when Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 launches on May 24. The Post-Apocalyptic theory stems from the roadmap leak, which is currently just a theory.
Beyond the theme of the season, here’s a list of what may unfold in Season 3 based on HYPEX’s intel:
- Collaborations with Metallica, Fall Guys, and Pirates of the Caribbean
- New UI updates
- Sand landmarks or biome
- Steam train
- Metallica in Fortnite Festival
Only ten days remain until Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 concludes, giving you an idea of what to expect. We’ll be sure to update this article with additional information as the weeks progress!
