Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2, known as Lawless Season, is set to launch on Friday, February 21, 2025, and it brings a crime-filled theme that feels a lot like Grand Theft Auto.
Epic Games is not officially collaborating with Rockstar, but the new Crime City location, heists, and vehicle action will make players feel like they’re stepping into a GTA-style world.
Crime City: A New Urban Playground
The biggest addition to this season is Crime City, a brand-new urban area on the map where players will spend their time breaking into vaults, stealing from armored trucks, and looting trains.
Unlike previous heist seasons, Lawless Season takes a grittier and more chaotic approach, resembling GTA’s lawless world rather than the sleek, stylish heists of Fortnite’s past.
GTA-Style Missions in Battle Royale
The cinematic trailer for Lawless Season highlights high-stakes robberies, vault break-ins, and car chases. This time, moving targets like armored vans and a loot-filled train add new challenges.
Players will have to fight off turrets and security forces while securing their loot, creating an experience that feels straight out of GTA Online’s heist missions.
A Different Take on Vehicles
After last summer’s Wrecked Season, which focused heavily on vehicle combat, Lawless Season brings a more balanced approach.
Vehicles remain an important part of the game, but without major upgrades or mounted weapons. Instead, players will have to shoot from windows, bringing back a more classic GTA-style feel to the gameplay.
Fortnite’s Take on Irreverent Chaos
GTA has always been known for its over-the-top action and humor, and Fortnite seems to be embracing a similar lawless energy this season.
Unlike past heist-themed updates that had a more Ocean’s 11-style elegance, this one feels raw, chaotic, and unpredictable—just like Rockstar’s iconic open-world crime series.
When Does Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 Begin?
The new Lawless Season will officially launch on Friday, February 21, 2025. With a focus on crime, heists, and urban chaos, it looks like Fortnite is delivering a GTA-style experience before GTA 6 even hits the shelves.
