"W season incoming": Fans react excitedly as Fortnite announces Chapter 6 Season 2 'Lawless'

Fortnite is gearing up for another major seasonal update. Epic Games has officially announced Chapter 6 Season 2: Lawless, set in the gritty world of Crime City, where players can expect new weapons, skins, and gameplay mechanics that fit the lawless theme. The season is set to launch on February 21, 2025, right after Season 1 of Chapter 6 ends.
