According to the latest leaks, the next Fortnite season is called Chapter 2 Remix. This means that it will be yet another OG season that will bring back the gameplay and map from the beloved Chapter 2.

Fortnite Season OG Chapter 2 start date and time

Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix (also known as Season OG Chapter 2) will begin on November 2, when the current Marvel season ends. The downtime for Remix is rumored to begin at 12 a.m. ET and will, like each seasonal release, last 3 to 4 hours.

The servers will come back online around 3 Aa.m. ET, and then you’ll be able to jump back into the game and play Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix.

Is there a live event leading to next season?

Epic has confirmed that a Chapter 5 ending live event will be underway on November 1, just a day before Remix arrives. This live event will take place at Restored Reels, where a cinematic related to the next season is supposed to play on the screen.

The live-event buildup is now live at the POI, which contains graffiti of the Chapter 2 Season 2 location, called The Agency, and a rift opening with the Battle Bus flying through it.

Rift Beacons are said to play a larger role in the live event and players will see a rift opening on the screen. However, not much has been leaked about the live event, so it’s best to wait until it arrives.

Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix teasers and leaks explained

Fortnite has released numerous teasers for Chapter 2 Remix ahead of its release on November 2. The first two teasers are 5-second videos that show a rewind animation of Chapter 2 characters and some of the gameplay that’s about to arrive in Fortnite. There’s also an image teaser that’s been released that shows a golden record player with a cat design and a record that says Spies Remix.

The image was accompanied by a caption that says, “Paws. *Record scratch* Stay classy, go gold.” According to leakers, this hints at a Midas and Meowscles Remix skin that’s set to arrive in the new season. Epic also confirmed that players are going back to the Chapter 2 Island — with splashes of content from the earliest seasons and a tuneful twist.

Above is Epic’s first confirmation that the next season will be a new version of Chapter 2. Subsequent leaks have revealed much more.

The following skins will be a part of the next season’s Battle Pass:

  • Midas & Mewoscles Remix
  • TNTina & Ocean Remix
  • 1-Ball (Remix of 8-Ball outfit)
  • Female Chaos Agent
  • Female Guff

Leakers have also posted a Spies Remix track that features rapper Murda Beatz and will be the main theme of the next season. However, Marshmello is said to play a key role in the music next season since he remixed the mixtapes that were sent to content creators with the teasers for Chapter 2 Remix.

According to them, there’s also going to be a season-ending concert by Marshmello that will be the official launch of Chapter 6. Unfortunately, there’s not much info that’s been revealed about the gameplay and POIs that are coming next season.

Fortnite Reality Augments: full list and how to use them
Fortnite Zero Builds key art.

Every new chapter of Fortnite is a massive event. While seasonal changes bring plenty of minor tweaks and additions, it's almost always when a new chapter rolls around that major overhauls or new mechanics are introduced. Fortnite Chapter 4 was no exception, and aside from the extreme changes the island underwent, it brought one very important change to gameplay that makes a huge difference when going for that elusive victory royal (it isn't easy to win Fortnite, after all).

Augments, well, augment the game. There are a few challenges that somewhat introduce what these are, but they leave out almost all the important details for you to find out on your own. Augments need to be considered, and deeply understood, not only for when you get them yourself but to know what new tricks your opponents could have up their sleeves. Before you get taken by surprise, here's a complete breakdown of how to unlock augments and how they work in Fortnite.
What are augments in Fortnite?
Augments, or Reality Augments, are a new perk system introduced into Fortnite. There are currently 20 augments in the game, but there are 32 total that cycle in and out with each Season. You can get access to multiple augments during a single match, but augments do not carry over after a match is finished, whether you win or lose. These perks can range from modifying certain weapon types to granting buffs for performing actions, and much more. There are no bad augments, so you will want to get as many as possible. Augments also have their own tab in your menu where you can see which ones you've had so far to track your progress using them all.

Warzone 2.0 Season 3 Reloaded has me optimistic about the shooter’s future
Characters from Warzone 2.0 in the ranked mode.

Since Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0's launch, Activision has slowly made improvements to the shooter, with each season being more fun than the last. It's been a slow burn, but with the launch of Season 3 Reloaded, Warzone 2.0 finally feels like it's in a decent spot. There's still much to improve upon, but given the sheer number of fixes and quality-of-life features that have been added with the latest season, I'm finally optimistic about the future of this game.
Ranked is surprisingly fun

The most notable addition to Season 3 Reloaded is Ranked, a mode that has been highly requested since the original Warzone. This features a robust ranking system that gives players a greater incentive to improve and perform well, while also adding a much more competitive feel. Since the original Warzone days, there has always been a lack of incentive to improve. Sure, winning a match is a rush, but after pouring hundreds of hours into the game, it's easy to get bored. With Warzone Ranked, climbing the ranks places you into different categories, from Bronze all the way to Iridescent and Top 250, while also yielding cosmetic rewards along the way. Each subsequent ranking places you into slightly more skilled lobbies, adding a bit more challenge as you climb.
