Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix release date, expected map locations & everything we know

As Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 draws to a close, Chapter 2 Remix is set to be the next major update before the new chapter begins.

Season OG was a major success when it arrived back in 2023, breaking the game’s all-time peak player record as the Chapter 1 map and weapons came back. Epic Games teased that it was going to return in 2024, and a leaked roadmap all but confirmed that we’ll be revisiting Chapter 2 this time around.

So, here’s everything you need to know about Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix, including the release date and rumored schedule.

When is Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix?

Chapter 2 OG, titled ‘Remix’ is set to begin on Saturday, November 2, 2024, as this is when the Chapter 5 Season 4 Battle Pass is due to end. The leaked 2024 roadmap that surfaced earlier in the year showed that the next OG update would drop in November and the in-game timer confirmed this.

The name was revealed by a teaser package that was sent out to creators, confirming at long last that we’re heading back to the second chapter.

Following a live event that concludes the current season, according to leaks, the game will once again be sucked into a black hole and go offline temporarily, just like it did between Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 all the way back in 2019.

Chapter 2 Remix schedule leaked

The first Season OG came with weekly updates that cycled through the different iterations of Chapter 1, and Epic Games are reportedly set to do the same again. After starting with Season 1, it’ll then move to the map and weapons of Season 2 before ending in Season 3.

Check out the leaked dates of these updates below:

• Season 1: November 2
• Season 2: November 9
• Season 3: November 23

Expected map locations

Chapter 2 brought a brand-new map to Fortnite, full of locations that had never been seen before. Most, if not all, of these POIs are likely to return during the next Season OG, with even more expected to come and go as updates are rolled out.

Here’s a look at all the major locations that could feature:

Season 1

• Craggy Cliffs
• Dirty Docks
• Frenzy Farm
• Holly Hedges
• Lazy Lake
• Misty Meadows
• Steamy Stacks
• Slurpy Swamp
• Sweaty Sands
• Weeping Woods

Season 2

• The Agency
• The Grotto
• The Rig
• The Shark
• The Yacht

Season 3

• Catty Corner
• Rickety Rig
• The Authority
• The Fortilla

Epic Games

Fans will remember Season 3, in particular, as this was the era where much of the map was completely submerged in water, but it remains to be seen if this is recreated again. The devs did make certain tweaks in the first Season OG, with certain map features not returning, so don’t be surprised if some things aren’t how you remember them.

Skins

Although the full slate of OG skins hasn’t been revealed, images of the creator package have teased a handful of skins that are set to appear. Just like with Season OG, some of these appear to be multiple fan-favorite characters merged together.

Check out every skin we know about so far:

• Midas x Meowscles remix
• TNTina
• Rippely

Returning features

Each Fortnite season comes with its own unique theme and gimmick, and Remix is set to bring the best ones back for another round. Fans will remember that Chapter 2 focused heavily on water combat, and many of the game’s oceans and lakes were infested with sharks.

According to a series of pins sent out in the creator package, it appears that sharks will be returning to Fortnite’s waters once again.

Loot pool

It hasn’t been confirmed exactly which guns and items will be included in the loot pool, but here’s everything that appeared in Chapter 2 Season 1 to give you an idea:

Weapons

• Assault Rifle
• Burst Assault rifle
• Pump Shotgun
• Tactical Shotgun
• Pistol
• Submachine gun
• Bolt-action Sniper Rifle
• Rocket Launcher
• Grenades

Heals

• Small shield potion
• Large shield potion
• Bandage Bazooka
• Bandages
• Medkits

Traps

• Damage Trap

It’s worth keeping in mind that Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix hasn’t been officially announced by the devs just yet, so this is all speculation based on credible leaks and the details shared by creators. We’re likely to get a confirmation in the coming weeks as Chapter 5 Season 4 comes to an end, so we’ll be sure to update this page once we know more.

In the meantime, there are plenty of challenges to complete and skins to unlock as part of the Fortnitemares event.
