Fortnite kicked off its remixed Chapter 2 season with a Snoop Dogg and Ice Spice concert

Fortnite is rewinding the clock once again. After a bit of teasing, Epic is about to kick off a new period in the battle royale game dubbed The Remix: Chapter 2 — and it’s not only looking back in time, it’s integrating music in an ambitious new way.

The launch of the remixed season was preceded by a musical event, similar to the Eminem concert that teased a new era for Fortnite. This time around, Snoop Dogg and Ice Spice took the stage — both in the game and IRL at Times Square in New York — and once the season kicks off, the musical aspects will go a step farther.

As the name implies, the new mini season brings back many of the characters, gameplay elements, and locations of the game’s second chapter, which launched in 2019. Chapter 2 was notable in particular because it erased the original battle royale map to start over fresh for the first time. (The Chapter 2 map itself would be swapped out in 2021 when it flipped over in dramatic fashion.) The month-long event will change things up weekly, with new elements themed around a different musical artist. Snoop Dogg is up first, followed by Eminem, Ice Spice, and culminating with Juice WRLD.

The remixed version of Chapter 2 begins on November 2nd and will run through November 30th, with Epic teasing a “finale” event to wrap things up. It’s also introducing a new cosmetic item: kicks, so that you can put a pair of Nikes on Peely the banana.
