Many new details about Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 have been leaked early online. According to a report, the upcoming season will feature new traversal items and many major feature changes. Here is everything reportedly coming to Fortnite CH7S2.

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 Leak: New Gameplay Features

This latest update comes from infamous Fortnite dataminer ShiinaBR. The popular insider revealed new gameplay details that will reportedly be coming to the battle royale in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2. The dataminer leaked the list of rumored features and mechanic changes in a lengthy post on X.

Some of the standout features include new traversal items, a “mostly” refreshed weapon pool, and a new match-starting mechanic. If you are confused about that last one, let me explain. Apparently, Chapter 7 Season 2 will feature a new feature similar to the Fortnite Surfing mechanic, where players will drop into a battle royale match in a unique way.

Here is the full list of features in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 leaked so far, courtesy of ShiinaBR:

A “new-old meta loot spot” next season

A new locked mid-game loot spot

“Dial up the loony tunes” 

Gameplay will have more complexity again

Items that support movement as a team

Likely a new experimental feature for XP

Likely a new match starting sequence like surfing

Mid-game gameplay improvements

Multiple NEW movement items

New Traversal & Melee Items

Teaser word: “Bearer”

Weapon loot pool almost FULLY refreshed

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 Collaborations Teased

Something interesting in the post made by ShiinaBR is their wording of “dial up the looney tunes.” This could be in reference to the leaked Looney Tunes Fortnite skins that still haven’t come out yet. According to dataminers, Bugs Bunny, Lola Bunny, and Daffy Duck are all getting cosmetic items.

However, this latest leak might have just confirmed the crossover isn’t coming until Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2. With that said, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at other “leaked” and rumored collabs that could be pushed to Fortnite CH7S2.

Looney Tunes (Bugs, Lola, Daffy)

Overwatch (D.Va, Mercy, Genji)

Crimson Desert (March 20)

Avatar: The Last Airbender (Wave 2)

Rick & Mortry (Wave 3)

007: First Light (Rumored/Speculation)

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight (Rumored/Speculation)

It should be pointed out that some of these crossovers might actually release in the final weeks of Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1. Most of these collabs were leaked in January and still have not yet been released in this current season, so they are good candidates for being made into Fortnite CH7S2 cosmetics.

When Is Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 Release Date?

As many of you know by now, Fortnite CH7S2 was delayed by two weeks. This current version of the battle royale is now the longest season we’ve had since 2021. If you are wondering, CH7S1’s length is going to be around 108 days! Yeah, that’s a really long time.

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2’s release date is Thursday, March 19, 2026. However, based on this latest leak, it sounds like the new CH7S2 is going to be massive, with many gameplay improvements. Epic Games weren’t kidding when they said they were going to use that extra time to cook!
