Fortnite fans, get ready for an exciting new chapter as Epic Games prepares to launch Chapter 6 Season 2 (v34.30) on April 11, 2025, at 5:30 am ET. This update promises a wealth of new content, collaborations, and the much-anticipated Festival Season 8, featuring pop star Sabrina Carpenter. Players can expect to dive into a vibrant new world filled with familiar characters and fresh gameplay elements.
The official launch is set for 5:30 am ET on April 11, with the servers going live at that time, although this is subject to change. For players in different time zones, the breakdown is as follows: 2:30 am PT, 4:30 am CT, 9:30 am GMT, and 10:30 am MET. Players in Asia and Australia can expect the servers to go live at 2:30 pm PKT, 3:00 pm IST, 5:30 pm SGT, and 8:30 pm AET. Pre-loading of the v34.30 update will be available, but players won’t be able to access the game until the servers are officially online.
One of the most exciting aspects of this upcoming season is the collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter. As the headliner for Festival Season 8, Carpenter is set to bring her unique pop style to the Fortnite universe. Players can expect at least two unique skins for Carpenter, one of which will be a premium reward in the Fortnite Festival Season 8 Music Pass, typically priced at 1400 V-Bucks. The other skin is expected to be available as part of a separate bundle in the Fortnite Item Shop.
In addition to the skins, themed cosmetics will also be available. Players can look forward to a bedazzled microphone pickaxe, a guitar back bling with a lipstick kiss, themed emotes, and a red heart-shaped microphone with glitter. There are also rumors of two guitars and a keytar, a ‘kiss spray’ cosmetic, loading screens, and special in-game events that will offer exclusive rewards. Fans can anticipate that several of Carpenter's popular songs will be available as playable Jam Tracks in Fortnite Festival, allowing players to engage with her music while performing along to the rhythm. Confirmed tracks include her recent hits ‘Please Please Please’ and ‘Espresso’, alongside the potential return of earlier songs like ‘Feather’ and ‘Nonsense’.
But that’s not all! The excitement continues with the confirmed collaboration between Fortnite and the beloved animated series Adventure Time. According to prominent Fortnite leaker HYPEX, the Adventure Time x Fortnite collaboration is set to release within the next two weeks. This crossover will introduce characters from the series, including Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, and Marceline. The new bundle titled “Adventure Time + Mamba” is on the way, featuring themed cosmetics like pickaxes styled after fan-favorite characters such as the Lumpy Space Princess and Marceline the Vampire Queen.
As for gameplay updates, players can expect new maps, items, and a ranked reset for the popular Limited Time Mode (LTM) called Ballistic. Epic Games has hinted at various improvements and bug fixes as part of the v34.40 update, which will follow shortly after the launch of Season 8.
While the exact details of the Adventure Time collaboration are still unfolding, the buzz around potential skins for Finn, Jake, Marceline, and Princess Bubblegum has fans eagerly anticipating the release. Leaks have suggested themed cosmetics tied to the Adventure Time universe, including a dance emote based on Jake the Dog, which was humorously demonstrated in-game by Carpenter’s character.
As players gear up for these exciting new updates, it’s important to stay informed. With the Fortnite community already buzzing with excitement for Carpenter's arrival and the Adventure Time collaboration, this season promises to be one of the most engaging yet.
In conclusion, Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 is shaping up to be a monumental update for fans of the game. With the addition of Sabrina Carpenter and the Adventure Time collaboration, players can look forward to a dynamic and entertaining experience. Be sure to mark your calendars for April 11, and stay tuned to official Fortnite channels for the latest news and updates!
