FORTNITE’s next season is just around the corner, but first players are getting the Fortnite Remix: The Prelude event.
Fortnite Remix will bring back content from Chapter 2 of Fortnite, much like Fortnite OG did for Chapter 1 last year.
Here’s when the next event in Fortnite starts and when to expect the new season and the live event that preceds it.
The Fortnite Remix: The Prelude event begins today, November 1, 2024, at 6:30pm ET / 10:30pm UK time.
The countdown to the event has already started, and you can check it out in the Fortnite lobby or in-game, at Restored Reels.
Details about the event are scarce, but Epic Games has teased Rift Butterflies in promos on Twitter/X.
As with other live events, you should be able to join The Prelude 30 minutes ahead of the event’s start time.
New seasons in Fortnite are usually timed to start in the early morning for US players, and Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix, also known as Chapter 5 Season 5, should begin on November 2, 2024, at 4am ET / 8am UK time.
As usual, there will be a downtime period of a couple of hours to deploy the update.
Downtimes for a new Fortnite season can sometimes take longer if unforeseen issues arise during the update.
