It’s almost over Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, but there’s still plenty players can do before the downtime begins. Epic Games has revealed that the next season, Chapter 2 Remix, will be something of a throwback to one of the most beloved periods of Fortnite history. This looks similar to Fortnite Chapter 4, OG Season, which officially ended Chapter 4 almost a year ago.
Although there is always a lot to do before starting a new Fortnite season, this becomes especially true when Epic Games brings over features from previous seasons, all but guaranteeing that almost everything will be different when the downtime begins. There are some important things Fortnite players may want to do to wrap up the Marvel-themed Chapter 5 Season 4 and the Fortnitemares event and get ready for all the changes coming in Chapter 2 Remix.
When Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Ending Begins
Deadline date and time
Downtime for the end of Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 4 is scheduled for 2am ET on November 2nd. Matchmaking is usually disabled 30 minutes before the servers shut down, so players have until 1:30am on November 2nd to complete everything in Chapter 5, Season 4. With Doctor Doom’s disappearance in the mid-season live event, it’s unclear who or what will cause the change from Chapter 5 Season 4 to the new Chapter 2 Remix.
It is also unknown whether there will be a live event to conclude Chapter 5, Season 4, or when such an event might occur. There has been no official word from Epic Games regarding the conclusion of Chapter 5 Season 4, although some leaks from Shiina in X suggest could happen on November 1st on Restored Reels in an exclusive event playlist this includes respawns such as Team Rumble.
