The new Fortnite season is very nearly here. The Fortnite Remix: The Prelude event is happening in just a few hours, though that doesn’t quite mark the start of the new season, which is coming several hours later. It’s confirmed that Fortnite Remix is going to focus on bringing back the maps, items, and events of Fortnite Chapter 2, much like Fortnite OG did for Chapter 1 this time last year.

The specifics are still a mystery to us though, so we’ll tell you what time the new Fortnite season is set to start, letting you see what’s new as soon as possible.
