According to the latest leaks, the next Fortnite season is called Chapter 2 Remix. This means that it will be yet another OG season that will bring back the gameplay and map from the beloved Chapter 2.

Fortnite Season OG Chapter 2 start date and time

Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix (also known as Season OG Chapter 2) will begin on November 2, when the current Marvel season ends. The downtime for Remix is rumored to begin at 12 a.m. ET and will, like each seasonal release, last 3 to 4 hours.

The servers will come back online around 3 Aa.m. ET, and then you’ll be able to jump back into the game and play Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix.

Is there a live event leading to next season?

Epic has confirmed that a Chapter 5 ending live event will be underway on November 1, just a day before Remix arrives. This live event will take place at Restored Reels, where a cinematic related to the next season is supposed to play on the screen.

The live-event buildup is now live at the POI, which contains graffiti of the Chapter 2 Season 2 location, called The Agency, and a rift opening with the Battle Bus flying through it.

Rift Beacons are said to play a larger role in the live event and players will see a rift opening on the screen. However, not much has been leaked about the live event, so it’s best to wait until it arrives.

Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix teasers and leaks explained

Fortnite has released numerous teasers for Chapter 2 Remix ahead of its release on November 2. The first two teasers are 5-second videos that show a rewind animation of Chapter 2 characters and some of the gameplay that’s about to arrive in Fortnite. There’s also an image teaser that’s been released that shows a golden record player with a cat design and a record that says Spies Remix.

The image was accompanied by a caption that says, “Paws. *Record scratch* Stay classy, go gold.” According to leakers, this hints at a Midas and Meowscles Remix skin that’s set to arrive in the new season. Epic also confirmed that players are going back to the Chapter 2 Island — with splashes of content from the earliest seasons and a tuneful twist.

  • Midas & Mewoscles Remix
  • TNTina & Ocean Remix
  • 1-Ball (Remix of 8-Ball outfit)
  • Female Chaos Agent
  • Female Guff

Leakers have also posted a Spies Remix track that features rapper Murda Beatz and will be the main theme of the next season. However, Marshmello is said to play a key role in the music next season since he remixed the mixtapes that were sent to content creators with the teasers for Chapter 2 Remix.

According to them, there’s also going to be a season-ending concert by Marshmello that will be the official launch of Chapter 6. Unfortunately, there’s not much info that’s been revealed about the gameplay and POIs that are coming next season.
