When does Chapter 2 Season 9 of Fortnite start?

As of writing, Epic Games has yet to confirm the official start date of Chapter 2 Season 9. However, the game devs have provided us with the end date of Chapter 2 Season 8, which serves to the same effect.

Chapter 2 Season 9 of Fortnite should start on Monday, 6th December 2021 following the conclusion of Season 8 on 5th December. The beginning of the workweek should serve as a natural break-point for a Monday patch update.

Fortnite Winterfest - Chapter 2 Season 9

Leaks from respected Fortnite sources suggest the return of an ultra-popular promotion may be imminent. Popular leaker ShiinaBR recently posted a tweet containing some exciting information from a pulled Fortnite file.

Shiina 🎃 on TwitterFirst Winter event leaks? 😳 I think Epic has added these interesting strings today:- "WinterQuestDetailsScreen"- "WinterquestPresentScreen"- "Already Opened"- "Come back every day to open a new present!"- "Not A Present"- "Save for Last!"They aren't used anywhere atm!— Shiina 🎃 (@ShiinaBR) October 26, 2021Shiina 🎃Twitter

Winterfest was an awesome holiday-themed event from previous years of Fortnite, and the Presents are simply free gifts for all Fortnite players, always a hit.

Chapter 2 Season 9 Battle Pass

Epic Games have not yet announced anything regarding the upcoming battle pass for Chapter 2 Season 9. With weeks left on the Season 8 pass and the recent release of the Shortnitemares film festival, game devs will likely wait for a less hectic time to drop the news.

Though if Season 9 follows a winter and or holiday theme, the battle pass will likely feature content reflective of that. It will certainly be interesting to see how game developers chose to progress the storyline.
