As we head towards the end of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 and the start of Chapter 2 Remix, Epic Games have confirmed that the current era will end with one of the game’s signature live events.
Although Fortnitemares is still ongoing and there are more crossovers to look forward to, many players are beginning to look ahead to what the future of Fortnite will have in store. As first confirmed by the leaked roadmap from earlier in 2024, Chapter 2 OG is the next season before Chapter 6 and The Prelude live event will set things in motion.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Fortnite Remix: The Prelude live event, including when it starts and how to watch it.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 live event date & time
The Fortnite Remix: The Prelude live event takes place on Friday, November 1, 2024, at 3.30 PM PT / 6.30 PM ET / 10.30 PM GMT. This was confirmed by Epic Games in an X post, as well as a timer that can now be seen in-game in the lobby or at Restored Reels.

This places it a day before Chapter 2 Remix is due to get underway on November 1. Based on what we’ve heard about the live event so far, it’s likely that there will be a period of extended downtime between the end of the event and the new season, so make sure you’ve got all the rewards from the current Battle Pass.
How to watch Remix Prelude live event
You can watch the Remix Prelude event simply by dropping into a match at the time and date mentioned above. Unlike some previous events, this one will take place naturally during a match, rather than a standalone playlist.
We recommend loading in at least a few minutes early to ensure you get a spot and are loaded in when the event gets underway.

The artists will also be performing in New York City’s Times Square.
We already knew music is also set to play a key role, as the only teaser we’ve got so far from the devs mentioned: “When the timer hits zero, be there with the volume UP.” We can expect a concert like the Travis Scott’s or Eminem’s in late 2023.
It was initially thought that this could be the ending of Chapter 2 OG, but a different event is in the works to start Chapter 6.
While you wait for the countdown to reach zero, you still have plenty of time left to unlock all of the free skins and explore every inch of the Marvel-themed map in Season 4.
