Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix estimated release date and time

Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix is the next throwback season in the popular online Battle Royale, and it's thought that multiple fan-favourites such as loot sharks and Midas are coming back.

Although it's rumoured that the Fortnite season isn't too far away, we're still yet to hear anything official from Epic Games beyond multiple five second teaser trailers posted to their X account. However, reliable leakers have been digging around and found some pretty interesting things that could be coming.

Without further ado, here's everything we know about Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix so far.

Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix release date and time

The official Fortnite X page, FortniteGame, posted that the pre-lude to Fortnite Remix (the new season) will begin on Friday 1st November at 10:30pm GMT and 6:30pm ET. This is the big run-up to the new season, so it's fair to suspect that the full season launch will be on Saturday 2nd November.

At the moment, it's rumoured that Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix will launch on Saturday 2nd November which is roughly when the current season is due to end. However, it's important to remember that this is just an estimate as Epic Games are yet to give out an offical date for this season still.

A recent post by reliable Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR on X supports this estimated release date.

However, the official FortniteGame account on X did post that Fortnite Reload Solos will be arriving on Saturday 2nd November - which adds further credibility to the leaks that say the new season will launch the same day.

Everything we know about Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix

Here's everything we know so far about Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix from official posts from Epic Games and through reliable leaks.

Returning Characters

A recent teaser clip (Tape D) posted to X on the official FortniteGame account hints that Midas and Meowscles will return for Chapter 2 Remix. If you look quickly, you can see both characters making a brief (and we mean brief) appearance in the five second teaser.

Another five second teaser trailer (Tape A) posted to X on the official FortniteGame account gives another glimpse at more characters returning for Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix: TNTina, Slurp Commando Ripley and 8-Ball (possibly now 1-Ball) can all be seen very briefly. However, it does look like 8-Ball's new look is homage to, or in combination with, Outcast's original look.

Chapter 2 Remix skins

A post from reliable leaker ShiinaBR on X has laid out the potential skins coming to Chapter 2 Remix:

• Meowscles + Midas
• Female Guff
• 8-Ball Remix
• Female Chaos Agent
• TNTina Remix

All of these have been pulled from the multiple five second teaser trailers posted on the official FortniteGame account, so we're pretty confident in saying that this could be an accurate list.

Maps

A recent post from FortniteGame on X confirms that the original Chapter 2 Map will be returning for the upcoming season:

The post also hints that features from earlier seasons will also be coming to the map - so keep your eyes peeled.

According to a post by leaker ShiinaBR on X, it seems that there will be multiple map options for Chapter 2 Remix, with the key takeaway being that there will be a new map added for Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix but the old map will still be available to play during this time.

An official post on X from the FortniteGame account suggests that the flooded areas from the original Chapter 2 map will make a return for Remix.

A recent post from ShiinaBR on X hints that the Pleasant Park POI may be returning for Chapter 2 Remix:

Snoop Dogg

There are multiple leaks suggesting that Snoop Dogg is the next artist for Fortnite Festival, including this post from ShiinaBR on X:

It has also been pointed out by Shiina that there was a teaser background in-game that suggested Snoop was the next artist, but it had been taking down after roughly 10 hours of being there.

Also, another post from ShiinaBR suggests that there could be a new Rocket Racing vehicle with a Snoop Doog theme coming next season:

Again, nothing official has been said about this yet.

Lightning McQueen - KACHOW!

Accoridng to a post on X from FNChiefAko, it seems like the popular four-wheeled Disney character voiced by Owen Wilson could be making an appearance in the upcoming Fortnite season.

Another post by ShiinaBR on the same platform also suggests that Lightning will be making an appearance alongside his best friend Mater.

Epic Games are yet to confirm this officially at the time of writing.

Nike (Jordan) Collab

A post from ShiinaBR on X states that there could possibly be a Nike (Jordan) collab coming to Fortnite for next season. This collaboration could include sneakers that can be worn by different character skins.

Again, Epic Games are yet to say anything official about this.
