When is Fortnite’s live event? Start time, expectations for Remix

The latest season of the hugely popular game Fortnite is winding down and it’s time for a little Remix.

Epic Games announced the start of a new mini-season that will see the return of the iconic island from 2019. Chapter 5 Season 4 will come to an end shortly and will usher in a three-part, month-long Remix season with promises of a, “chapter end event to remember.”

Even though the name of the mini-season gave hints of a throwback, some gamers were worried when the sneak peek released by the company reportedly still showed the Chapter 5 map. The company quelled the fears of gamers by posting on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the Chapter 2 island was indeed coming back.
