End of Fortnite Season 5 Has Been Delayed According to Leak

Season 5 of Fortnite Battle Royale has brought a great deal of new content to the world of Fortnite, but the latest time period of content for the popular battle royale game must come to an end for the arrival of what should be another exciting period of new content in Season 6. 

However, it looks as though the end date of Season 5 for Fortnite may not be when the majority of the community was expecting it to be.

Reputable leak outlet for the Epic Games title Fortnite Battle Royale Leaks, who has accurately leaked previous content and information regarding the battle royale title from Epic Games, posted an image that states that the game files of the title currently have the end of the current time period of new content October 2nd instead of September 25th. 

Previous seasons of Fortnite have lasted 10 weeks and Season 5 is currently entering its 7th week, which would put the scheduled end date for the current period of new content of the massively popular battle royale title at September 25th from its July 11th start date.

This leaked end date of October 2nd could possibly point to Epic Games pushing the beginning of Season 6 back in order to have it coincide with Halloween in order to be more in line with speculated planned Halloween themed content and then have it transition to a more winter holiday theme, which the battle royale has done in past seasons. 

As with any leak of unconfirmed information, Epic Games could change the alleged end date of Season 5 for Fortnite at any time, but as it currently stands it looks as though players will be able to enjoy everything that Season 5 of Fortnite offers for a tad longer than originally expected.
