![]() ![]() There was only one season in Chapter 2 that lasted fewer than 82 days, Season 3. The second-longest followed right after too, lasting for 118 days. Season 1 of Chapter 2, which began in Fall 2019, still stands as the longest season in Fortnite history at 128 days long. Once the black hole swallowed up the original island of Athena and ushered in the new Fortnite reality on Apollo, Epic seemed to consciously commit to longer seasons, but those plans were extended even more due to the pandemic. ![]() ![]() On the flipside, half of all Chapter 1 seasons were 70 days long or shorter, with the shortest, Season 1, not even going for two full months.
