Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 8 has slowly reached its peak and players are starting to wonder when the season will end. We have the Fortnite Season 8 end date and the Season 9 start date for you.
Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 8 was released on September 13, 2021, and kicked off the highly anticipated return of Kevin the Cube. Since then, players have experienced multiple Cube Wars, Steamy Stacks' destruction, and plenty of creepy skins in the game thanks to Fortnitemares
So far, Chapter 2, Season 8 of Fortnite has lived up to expectations. However, Fortnite Season 8 is gradually coming to an end and players are wondering when Season 9 will start. Or will the end of Season 8 even mean the end of Chapter 2, and the start of Chapter 3?
When Will Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 8 End?
Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 8 will end on December 5, 2021. While there is no official end date for Fortnite Season 8, if you look at the current Battle Pass, you'll spot the message "Chapter 2 - Season 8 until December 5." in the bottom left corner. Considering that, it's actually pretty safe to say that Season 8 will end on December 5. We know from seasons past that Epic likes to get behind and extend a season on the fly. But at least at this point, the end date of Season 8 doesn't seem to have changed yet. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it stays that way.
Will Fortnite Season 8 Be The Last Season of Chapter 2?
Many players believe that the end of Season 8 could be the beginning of Fortnite Chapter 3.While a line of text in the November 2021 Crew Pack says that players will have access to the Chapter 2, Season 9 Battle Pass, this may simply be a strategy by Epic to keep Chapter 3 under wraps.In a tweet, Donald Mustard expressed his excitement about the future of Fortnite.
Donald never name dropped Season 9 & 10, he just says Season 7 and "the two after it". And then there's that last sentence..There's no way this wording is random lol pic.twitter.com/4V14rk2S24

Also, many players have analyzed videos of popular Fortnite creators. Epic Games sometimes informs larger creators about drastic changes to the game. This time, theorists point out videos from SypherPK and TaborHill. But what exactly did they say?
Both creators recently uploaded videos explaining why they believe Chapter 3 is coming soon. But what's even more interesting, is that both videos end with the words "Catch you on the flip side." This could be a coincidence, but fans think it's proof that Chapter 3 is coming soon. Yeah, we know it's a bit of a stretch, but remember, Epic often does really strange things to promote their stuff. Just look at any of the Season 7 leaks that brought the aliens to Fortnite.
When Does Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 9 Start?
However, if everything goes as planned, you can expect Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 9, or Chapter 3, Season 1 to be released on December 6, 2021. Each season lasts about three months. This means that the new season will run until the beginning of March 2022.
