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

As Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 draws to a close, Epic has finally teased us on what to expect next in the upcoming OG Chapter 2 Remix.

Despite only being available in a short period of time, 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. Now Epic has dropped some teasers to elevate the hype, further revealing exciting things that will be coming soon to the island.

We’ve compiled everything you need to know about Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix, including the release date, rumored schedule, confirmed skins and more.

Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix release date

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.

Chapter 2 Remix teasers officially revealed

Teasers for the OG Chapter 2 Remix have finally been shared by Epic Games. This is pretty expected considering that devs tend to drop hints for the next chapter or season whenever the current one is coming to an end.

The teasers for the upcoming season is a little bit different than usual. Fitting to the theme of going back in time, this time the clips are reversed and looks just a bit glitchy. That said, now we know what kind of cosmetics and features we can expect.

Confirmed Skins

Thanks to the teasers, keen-eyed fans have spotted some of the fan favorite characters returning to the game. However, unlike Season OG last year, which gave some of the characters a makeover, Chapter 2 Remix is set to bring these characters back with a catch.

This time, the characters have been essentially merged with each other. One notable example you can see from the trailer is a remix of Meowscles and Midas, or what fans often refer to “Meowdas.”

Not just that, but Skye has also been mashed up with Guff, giving the adorable creature a similar look to the former GHOST agent. Check out every skin we know about so far:

• TNTina x Ocean
• 1-Ball (Billiard remix)
• Chaos Agent x Toxin
• Midas x Meowscles
• Guff x Skye

These are the ones that have been revealed for now. Assuming these are Battle Pass skins, it’s safe to assume that they’ll come with additional edit styles as well.

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. As it turns out, this is pretty accurate considering that sharks can be seen for a split second in the waters in the Tape C teaser.

Loot pool

One of the clips showed us a glimpse of some weapons that’ll be coming in Chapter 2 Remix. So far, these include the Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle, Burst Assault Rifle, and the Legendary Tactical Shotgun.

While the rest of the loot pool has yet to be revealed, 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

That’s everything we know so far about Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix. Overall, this chapter is already looking very huge for both veteran and new players. Aside from all these exciting additions, the Snoop Dogg collab is also set to arrive the same time Chapter 2 Remix drops, which reportedly will include an in-game concert, according to leaks.

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