Every new Fortnite season is a massive event for players. While not quite on the scale of a new Chapter, seasons still bring about a plethora of changes to the ever-evolving Battle Royale island to keep players hooked to the game. New skins, abilities, quests, weapons, and a new battle pass to complete are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of fresh content.
If a particular season doesn’t quite do it for you, or if you’ve already unlocked all the cosmetics in your Battle Pass and are eagerly awaiting the beginning of the next one, knowing when to mark your calendar is essential. Let’s dive into when you can expect the next Fortnite season to begin.
We are currently in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 which is fast approaching its end. Typically, the next season in Fortnite’s chronology would be a Season 5, but that’s not the case.
Epic is switching things up a bit and taking players to a remixed Chapter 2 island, hence the season will be called Chapter 2 Remix. The season will roll over at 2 a.m. PT on November 2, 2024. Keep in mind that there is always a downtime period between seasons as Epic updates the game and gets it ready for whatever new content will be included. So while that 2 a.m. time should be accurate for when the season will end, we can’t be 100% certain about when the servers will be back up and you can actually start playing Chapter 2 Remix.
As per leaks for the upcoming season, it will bring back three iconic seasons of Chapter 2 and a remixed Battle Pass with characters like Meowdas, TNTina Ocean, and more. Further leaks suggest that a season-ending live event will take place at Restored Reels POI, which will be a launchpad for the next season and will kick things off before Fortnite initiates downtime. The event is said to have a separate playlist and matchmaking lobby so everyone gets a chance to play it.

The hook is familiar, your choices matter, people notice, and consequences linger. The difference is scale. This is a fully open world take, with townsfolk on routines who respond to what you do, even when you think no one’s watching. It’s still chasing that mix of heroics, petty crime, and dry British humor, only with modern action RPG muscle.
