For The Prelude event, which was held at the Restored Reels POI in-game, Fortnite had prepared a surprise live performance.

Ice Spice and Snoop Dogg took the stage, both in-game and in real life at Times Sqaure in New York, to kick off the game’s next season.

The throwback season will bring back a remixed version of Fortnite’s island map as players remember it from the game’s original Chapter 2.

Chapter 2 Remix has a musical theme and will feature one iconic rapper each week, starting with Snoop Dogg himself in Week 1.

The “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper will be followed by Eminem, Ice Spice, and the late Juice WRLD for Weeks 2 through 4.

The new Chapter 2 Remix starts later today, November 2, 2024, and will run until November 30, 2024.

You can check out the exact launch times in our Fortnite Remix Chapter 2 start time explainer.

This week, The Agency POI in the game will turn into Snoop Dogg’s headquarters, The Doggpound.

Defeating the legendary rapper will drop a Mythic weapon, Snoop’s Drum Gun.

Next week, starting on November 7, will be all about Eminem.

The rapper will show up at The Grotto POI in-game, which will be transformed into the Spaghetti Grotto.

There players will be able to defeat Slim Shady for an RG Minigun Mythic weapon.

In Week 3, Ice Spice will be headlining the Shark Island area of the map, which will be renamed to Ice Isle.

Beating her will reward players with an Ice Spice’s Grappler and Ice Spice’s Rifle Mythics.

Finally, Week 4 will be a tribute to the late Juice WRLD, who passed away at 21 in 2019.

To honour the “Lucid Dreams” singer there will be a special WRLD Point landmark in the game.

Players who log into Fortnite from November 30, at 1am ET / 6am UK time, and December 1 at 1am ET / 6am UK time, will receive a cel-shaded Juice WRLD outfit.

Each week, the Item Shop will feature skins and items based on the respective rapper.
