Fortnite Confirms Chapter 2 Map Set to Return

Published Oct 29, 2024

Kyle has a degree in Film, Television, and Cultural Studies and has loved video games for as long as he can remember. He's owned every PlayStation, dabbled with the occasional Xbox, and even owned a PSP Go, if anybody actually remembers those. These days, he's more into building PCs and spending all of his money on the latest triple-a releases.

During his time as a journalist, Kyle has interviewed developers and game directors, reviewed some of the year's biggest releases, attended preview events for huge triple-a titles, and occasionally ranted about his love/hate relationship with Call of Duty.

Summary

Epic Games confirms Fortnite Remix Chapter 2 will see the original Chapter 2 map return.
After sharing a new teaser video for Remix Chapter 2, fans were concerned that the iconic map would not be returning.
A new Fortnite event is also coming soon, with more details set to be shared by Epic on October 29.

Epic Games has now officially confirmed that the next season of Fortnite will see the original Chapter 2 map return as part of a special season known as Remix Chapter 2. After sharing a new teaser trailer for the upcoming season over the weekend, Fortnite fans were left concerned after noticing that the clips were still using the Chapter 5 map, but Epic has now reassured players that the iconic island from 2019 will be making its triumphant return.

Back in 2023, Epic Games released Fortnite OG, a new one-month-long season that saw players return to the game's original map from Chapter 1, along with classic weapons, vehicles, items, and more. The special season was a massive success for Fortnite, bringing in almost 45 million players with over 102 million hours played in just a single day, making it the biggest Battle Royale season to date. Now it looks like the studio is aiming to replicate that success once again as Epic has confirmed that a new mini-season is on the horizon, with the Chapter 2 map now set to take the spotlight.

Fortnite Confirms Chapter 2 Map Returning Soon

After teasing Fortnite Remix Chapter 2 over the weekend, Epic Games has now officially confirmed that the special season will see the original Chapter 2 map return. Although this might seem obvious given the name of the season, fans were left confused by the recent teaser video as it still displayed the current Chapter 5 map. Thankfully, in a new tweet on the official Fortnite Twitter account, Epic said, "Yes, we're going back to the Chapter 2 island." The studio also noted that there would be "splashes" of content from the earliest seasons.

After previous leaks for Fortnite Remix Chapter 2 suggested there would also be a new live event for the upcoming season, Epic Games confirmed the rumors, saying, "Yes, there's an event." While the announcement of a live event is all the details fans have for now, Epic did go on to state that more information surrounding the event would be shared on October 29, likely via a new blog post on the game's official website.

Although details on the next season of Fortnite are sparse, a prominent leaker has suggested that the release date for Fortnite Remix Chapter 2 will be Saturday, November 2. The return of Chapter 2 is also expected to operate similarly to Fortnite OG, with new seasons being rotated in frequently. If leaks are to be believed, Chapter 2 Season 2 will then be released on November 9, followed by Season 3 on November 23 before coming to an end with a Chapter 6 live event on November 30.
