When does the new Fortnite season start?

We're all eagerly awaiting whatever is in store for Fortnite's next season, but how long must we wait? This is exactly when you can expect the next update.

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 Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.

After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.

Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.

Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”

It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.

Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
