At long last, Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 2 has landed- here's everything we know so far

Fortnite never sleeps, and a brand-new patch is on its way today (20 February) to mix things up in the popular Battle Royal video game.

With Chapter 2, Season 2 on the way, the early part of 2020 looks set to be an exciting time for fans of Epic Games’ hugely popular shooter.

This brings an end to the longest season in Fortnite history and, while it’s maybe not quite as dramatic as watching the game’s entire world get sucked into a black hole and replaced, it’s still pretty cool.

Here’s everything you need to know about the new patch:

When does the new patch arrive?

As is custom when a Fortnite season ends, the servers went down on Thursday 20 February so that players can download the hefty new update before the new season kicks off.

In this case, that’s update 12.00 and it really is pretty huge – coming in at 8GB on PS4, 15GB on Nintendo Switch and a seriously weighty 26GB on Xbox One.

What does the new update add?

Season 2 is set to bring about a tonne of new content for players to enjoy.

Fortnite has been dropping real-world clues for its new season for a while, hinting at a secret agent theme which sees a mysterious agency “activating” operatives around the world.
