Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, titled "Demon Hunters", ended on February 21, 2025, making way for Season 2, "Lawless". Unlike previous season finales, no major live event took place before the update. However, an interactive in-game event marked the transition.
Players participated in a climactic showdown between Daigo and Shogun-X, with the fate of Daigo’s sister, Jade, hanging in the balance. Instead of a dedicated game mode or cinematic event, players directly engaged in battles against demon hordes alongside Daigo, Hope, and Vengeance Jones within standard matches.
Epic Games chose to integrate the story conclusion into gameplay, avoiding a massive server downtime or scripted spectacle. Instead, the transition to Season 2 happened smoothly, with servers going offline temporarily before returning between 11 AM and 1 PM on launch day.
A new map featuring Crime City, Baron’s Mansion, and Outlaw Oasis.
New weapons, including dual-wield shotguns and Mortal Kombat mythics.
Revamped perks offering new strategic bonuses.
Fresh collaborations and game mechanics to expand the experience.
This interactive finale delivered a fresh take on seasonal transitions, immersing players in the action while setting the stage for an explosive Season 2, which runs until May 2, 2025.
