Summary
Epic Games has now officially confirmed that the next season ofFortnitewill 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,Fortnitefans 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 releasedFortniteOG, 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 forFortnite, 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.
