Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix brings a rapper-heavy tie in season that harkens back to Chapter 2, but with a twist! Snoop Dogg has taken over The Agency, Ice Spice and Eminem can be found across the new map, and there's a Juice Wrld event on the way.

Given that this latest throwback season only just launched, it'll be a few weeks before we hear about what's next. For now however, there's a whole new loot pool to try out, and a bunch of nostalgic skins to earn via the new Battle Pass. It's frequent updates like these that make Fortnite one of the best battle royale games around.

Here's everything you need to know about the process of Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix ending, when the next season starts, and what to expect.

When does the current season of Fortnite end?

Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix will end on November 30, 2024. This is according to the main Battle Pass screen in-game. Generally, this has been pretty accurate in the past, but be aware that timings have been known to be tweaked slightly as the end of the season approaches. There's a finale event that'll air on November 30 at 2PM ET / 11AM PT / 6PM GMT, marking the end of the season.

It's worth noting that some previous seasons's timings shifted by a couple of days just before the new one was supposed to arrive, so timings here are always subject to change regarding downtime periods. The best place to keep up on specific updates closer to the launch of the new season is the Fortnite Status Twitter account. We'll be sure to keep this page up to date as well.

The next season of Fortnite has yet to be detailed, but we expect it to launch on or around November 30, 2024. This is when Chapter 2 Remix ends, and based on how things worked last year, things will then switch over to the new season. We expect this to mark the start of a whole new chapter of Fortnite, but we'll have to wait and see what Epic Games announces.

What to expect from the next Fortnite season

Fortnite Chapter 2 remix is currently live until the end of the month. Beyond this point, we're completely in the dark, but we can look back at last year for clues as to what might come next. One option is that we get Chapter 5 Season 5, continuing this year's story. While this is possible, we're expecting a new chapter instead. Last year, Fortnite the Big Bang brought in Fortnite Festival, Lego Fortnite and Rocket Racing, as well as a whole new chapter. This would mean a huge change, but given how the timings have worked this season, it's clear that Epic intends to switch between Chapters a lot faster than how things have worked previously. Once we hear more, this page will be updated.

Now that Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix has launched, we can see how the map has changed. As you can see from the image above, this is a completely new map based on the one from Chapter 2. Iconic locales like Pleasant Park have returned, alongside remixed areas like The Doggpound. In general, this is a much simpler map to get around, with greenery and lots of water. The loot pool has been changed too, with the following weapons available:

  • Dual Pistols
  • Tactical Shotgun
  • Pump Shotgun
  • Rapid Fire SMG
  • Suppressed SMG
  • Suppressed Assault Rifle
  • Heavy Sniper Rifle
  • Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle
  • Hunting Rifle
  • Rocket Launcher
  • Grenade Launcher
  • Remote Explosives
  • Grenades
  • Clingers
  • Stink Bomb
  • Mythic Goldfish
  • Bandage Bazooka
  • Boogie Bomb

Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix is adding new map POIs each week. The latest update dropped on November 14, 2024, and added Shark Island, now dubbed Ice Isle! Ice Isle is a neon-lit, Y2K-dripped abandoned shopping mall with an ominous aura.
