As Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 draws to a close, with the current Battle Pass ending in a few weeks' time, Fortnite players are wondering when Season 3 will start. Although the release date hasn't been officially announced, the new season will likely arrive the day after the current Fortnite Battle Pass ends. Usually, the server downtime between seasons of Fortnite lasts two to four hours. When the servers go back up, players will be able to download the new update and start playing right away.
Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 surprised Fortnite players by completely eradicating building when released in late March 2022. Since then, building has returned to Fortnite with players now able to choose between original and Zero Build modes. It's unknown whether the battle royale game's Zero Build mode will stay for future seasons of Fortnite. However, given its popularity, it seems like the change is permanent. As well as the removal of building, Season 2 introduced sprinting and parkour mechanics, plus tanks and airships.
