FORTNITE just held its Remix: The Prelude live event, revealing what’s in store for the game’s next season, which kicks off later today.
Details of the live event were kept secret, but we knew that the upcoming season was going to be throwback to the original Fortnite Chapter 2 from five years ago.
For The Prelude event, which was held at the Restored Reels POI in-game, Fortnite had prepared a surprise live performance.
Ice Spice and Snoop Dogg took the stage, both in-game and in real life at Times Sqaure in New York, to kick off the game’s next season.
The throwback season will bring back a remixed version of Fortnite’s island map as players remember it from the game’s original Chapter 2.
Chapter 2 Remix has a musical theme and will feature one iconic rapper each week, starting with Snoop Dogg himself in Week 1.
The “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper will be followed by Eminem, Ice Spice, and the late Juice WRLD for Weeks 2 through 4.
The new Chapter 2 Remix starts later today, November 2, 2024, and will run until November 30, 2024.

This week, The Agency POI in the game will turn into Snoop Dogg’s headquarters, The Doggpound.
