Everything is set for the end of the Fortnite world as we know it. Mountains will roar, and sandstorms will cover the map as the apocalypse nears; these are all the signs that the new season is near. How close is it? Check out our Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 Countdown for the release time and date.

What is the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 release date?

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 will be released on May 24, 2024. As you've noticed, the main color is orange, which looks like sand. Coincidentally, one movie with lots of sand has a world premiere on the same day—Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. That's completely in line with a Fortnite roadmap leak suggesting that the theme of Season 3 will be a Road Warrior-like apocalypse.

Below is a Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 countdown timer so you know when to expect the new season. Be sure to check this page often; we'll update it as soon as new information arrives.

What time will Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 be released?

If Epic sticks to its tradition, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 release time will be May 24, 2024, at 3am PT. We hope you're in a time zone where you'll be awake when the game comes out. As always, expect some delays (up to an hour or two) during which the Fortnite servers will be down. 

What is the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 theme?

The new season's name is "Wrecked," while one leaked teaser is named "Nitro." Those are all vehicle terms suggesting we will see a lot of armed custom cars roaming the map. To prepare for the new season and get in the right mood for the challenges in Season 3, we recommend watching some Mad Max movies like Road Warrior and Mad Max: Fury Road.
