Fortnite: Big event announced at the start of Remix Chapter 2

After many rumors, Epic Games has now put its money where its mouth is and announced a big new live event for this week. This paves the way for the start of the new remix chapter.

The current Season 4 in Chapter 5 of Fortnite officially comes to an end this week; Epic Games has now formally confirmed this after many leaks and speculations. Accordingly, there will be a big live event called “Remix: The Prelude” this week, which will then ensure a smooth transition into the new Remix Chapter 2.

After the immense success of Fortnite OG last fall, when they brought back the original island of the long-running battle royale, this time it is dedicated to the island of Chapter 2. This chapter is already considered one of the most popular in Fortnite history, So this step from Epic Games is not unexpected and had been expected for a long time.

But it starts on Friday, November 1st, 2024 with the live event. The starting signal is supposed to be fired at 6:30 p.m. ET, which means that due to the time difference, it will start at 11:30 p.m. Concrete details about what exactly we can expect from this big live event are currently unknown.

The new remix season with the island from Chapter 2 is currently expected to start on November 2nd. Epic Games itself repeatedly hinted at the comeback of content from this earlier chapter over the weekend; However, it is still officially unclear which seasons from Chapter 2 will return or be discussed. However, leaks indicated the following schedule: Season 1 starts on November 2nd, followed by Season 2 on November 9th and Season 3 on November 23rd. The Remix Chapter is scheduled to conclude with another live event on November 30th before moving on to the next brand new chapter in the game.

Last year, the return to the original map in Fortnite OG resulted in new record numbers of players in the successful title. Over 44.7 million gamers played the game in a single day and spent 102 million hours there.
