Fortnite fans, the wait is almost over. Epic Games has officially announced that Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 (v34.20) will go live on March 25, 2025, at 5:30 am Eastern Time (ET). This marks the second major update in the Lawless season and brings a fresh wave of content for Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, and more.
While some features are still under wraps, players can expect a range of exciting additions, including the launch of Fortnite OG Season 3, which revisits the era when the game’s first storyline arc began. Fans are also expecting improvements to Ballistic and bug fixes across various game modes.

What’s coming in v34.20?

The update is expected to roll out several major features. Fortnite OG Season 3 will introduce content inspired by the original 2018 season, including map changes and potentially returning fan-favorite weapons. LEGO Fortnite is also getting content that was teased during the March 11 update.
Although the full patch notes are still under wraps, early leaks suggest more exotic and mythic weapons could enter the loot pool. Bug fixes, particularly for the campfire HP bug and UI glitches across mobile and Save the World modes, are also expected to be addressed.
With the countdown ticking, excitement is building across the Fortnite community. Whether you're here for nostalgic OG content or looking to dominate with new weapons, Chapter 6 Season 2’s v34.20 update promises to deliver. Just make sure your game is updated and ready before the servers go live.
