Exactly 111 days from now, logging into Fortnite will reveal an exciting update. Epic Games has crafted an incredible Chapter 2 Remix experience, packed with a new Fortnite Battle Pass, returning characters, new island features, and musical events. Keep Reading for further updates on the Fortnite Battle Pass as more information becomes available.
The Chapter 2 Remix Event & New Fortnite Battle Pass
The Chapter 2 Remix event is about to begin, bringing a wealth of new information about the upcoming season. This event does more than just explain the transition into the new season; it also reveals the purpose behind much of Chapter 5’s buildup. Interestingly, Pandora’s Box did more than release evil gods into reality—it played a vital role connected to characters like Valeria, Hope, and their grandfather, who lived on the island long before recent inhabitants arrived.
The Titans and Pandora’s Box
Back in ancient times, Titans ruled the island, including the same Titan seen during a mini live event earlier in Chapter 5. These powerful beings, who supported the reality ball in the Castle of Doom, saw the island destroyed when Pandora’s Box first opened. However, Valeria and Hope’s grandfather developed a plan to prevent this disaster from reoccurring. This plan, documented in a book Valeria deeply studied, involved taking steps to save the island from evil forces.
Hope and the Oracle’s Connection to Pandora’s Box
Hope’s journey plays a significant role in the plan. The Oracle, known as The Faceless character introduced in Season 1, repeatedly spoke of Hope and Pandora’s Box as intertwined by fate. For months, the meaning behind the Oracle’s words remained unclear. Initially, the assumption was that Hope would defeat Dr. Doom, but in reality, the Oracle referenced Hope’s grandfather’s plan. This plan depicted an orb, resembling the zero point but not identical—specifically the orb from Pandora’s Box, which players collected and delivered to Hope last season, sparking visions of the future.
The Butterfly Effect and Fortnite Battle Pass Events
One of the visions Hope experienced revealed graffiti from Pandora’s Box, symbolizing key events in Chapter 2 Remix. In addition, Fortnite recently updated its Twitter banner with an image of a butterfly, sparking fan theories. This butterfly, connected to the zero point, often appears when players travel between different realities.
The Rift butterfly holds greater significance than previously thought, as Hope’s grandfather marked it as essential to saving reality. Epic Games has even hidden Rift butterflies in unexpected places. For instance, the new Rave Mellow skin in the Fortnite item shop features the Rift butterfly in the background, possibly hinting at a mini-concert by Marshmello during the event. The event will include remixed music, as Epic sent remixed Chapter 2 soundtracks to creators and hid a secret rap song in video teasers.
Music Events and the Arrival of Snoop Dogg’s Fortnite Battle Pass
The Chapter 2 Remix introduces more than a new island theme. Epic has begun teasing another concert, expected to feature Snoop Dogg, inside Festival mode. Unlike previous events, this concert will occur in a creative island setup, similar to the Party Royale Soundwave series events.
The Final Stages of the Rift Event
As the final stage of the event progresses, the Rift Beacon’s energy beam interacts with a massive screen, opening a new portal. This portal, shaped like the Rift butterfly, signals that various locations from alternate realities will begin merging into one, impacting the Fortnite Battle Pass with exciting changes.
Returning to Chapter 2 in a New Reality
The portal won’t simply take players back to the Chapter 2 reality but will merge current reality with aspects of Chapter 2, explaining why many noticed similarities between Chapter 5 and Chapter 2 maps. For example, mountains surrounding the Chapter 5 island look strikingly similar to those from Chapter 2.
