Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 was scheduled for release on March 8, but due to server issues, players are wondering about the status of the game.

The latest season, named Myths and Mortals, revolves around Greek mythology. At the live event over the weekend, the community opened Pandora’s Box, releasing all the trapped evils inside.

Fortnite announced that Olympian legends like Hades and thunder god Zeus are now in charge of the Island, filled with otherworldly fury. Players must utilize their mythological powers to overcome them in this latest season.

Exciting new places to explore are Mount Olympus, Grim Gate, The Underworld, and Brawler’s Battleground.

Exciting new abilities have been unlocked, such as the Thunderbolt of Zeus and the ability to soar through the skies with the Wings of Icarus. Fortnite suggested that the Chains of Hades might be introduced as a new power later in the season.

With the servers currently down, when can you expect to start playing the new Fortnite season? This is what we have gathered.
