Post updated 11/30/24. See updates below.

Fortnites The current “Remix” season has been incredibly popular, but it’s coming to an end soon. Not only does the season come to an end on Saturday, the new season will also be the first of Chapter 6. Fortnite Players will receive an all-new map, new movement mechanics, a brand new Battle Pass and much more this weekend.

Chapter 6, Season 1 is titled “鬼 Hunters” and will have an Asian/anime theme with many new locations with a distinctly Japanese look, including pink cherry tree blossoms, Asian markets, and creatures that look like them. I stepped out of a Studio Ghibli film. There will also be yokai demons, titans, new mystical powers and the arrival of King Kong and Godzilla. A giant swimming turtle will be one of the cool new features. Not only is it adorable, it moves around the map. New movement mechanics include rolling and wall running, making this the most parkour game ever Fortnite Seasons.

Before Chapter 5 ends, players can take part in the big end-of-season event, The Finale, which will not only be a massive Juice WRLD concert, but also feature the return of The Device. This is a somewhat strange event considering that the rapper – real name Jarad Anthony Higgins – passed away in 2019. A new Snoop Dogg track will also be part of the event, which you can read more about here. A free Juice WRLD skin and other goodies are available in the shop now, but only until the end of the season.

When does Chapter 5 end and when does Chapter 6 begin?

The official end time for Chapter 5 and this “Remix” season is 11:00 p.m. PT / 2:00 a.m. ET on Saturday, November 30th / Sunday, December 1st However, since this is the end of an entire chapter, it is also possible that the season will end right after the finale event. If this is the case, the season will end and servers will go down sometime after 11:00 AM PT / 2:00 PM ET as the event lasts approximately 20 minutes. It is possible that the game will not remain live until later. Edit: Now that the event is over, this is clearly no longer the case, so the original downtime should be correct.

The new chapter will go live on Sunday morning barring any issues, and players will be able to update their games once the servers come back online and dive into the map. Without official confirmation, we can only speculate as to when Chapter 5 will end, but we can safely assume that you’ll be out on the new map on Sunday morning. I will update this post if we get a more accurate end time or if the servers go down.

Here is the trailer:

The other exciting news is the return of OG Fortnite, It contains the game’s original map and allows players to compete in original locations with the game’s original loot. According to Epic Games, you will also be able to play through older seasons. This new (old) mode will go live permanently on December 6th.

It’s an exciting weekend for Fortnite, basically. I look forward to stopping by!

Update: Fortnite The servers are down and the big update for Chapter 6, Season 1 is in the works. The server downtime is expected to last approximately 8 hours, with the downtime beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET. That means the game should come back online around 6 a.m. ET / 3 a.m. PT. Of course, this is an estimate and the downtime could be longer or the game could go live sooner than expected. Either way, Fortnites The new season will go live early Sunday morning. Here is the new map:

“When the wind blows, the sun rises on a beautiful new island, shrouded in mystery and mystical energy. In its darkest corners lurk demons, wreaking havoc with their masks of chaotic power. Great heroes must rise to push back the ancient evils that roam this land. Become a Ronin and break through the darkness to find the light in Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 6 Season 1: 鬼 HUNTERS (Demon Hunters)!” Epic Games posted in the new chapter’s official blog post.

Epic has also released new information about the new “Simple Edit” feature, which promises to make making building edits much easier and give new hope to those of us who were never the best builders – and an even greater advantage to builders :

Easy editingA new build setting, which you can enable in the Settings menu, allows editing builds with a single keystroke. The resulting edit is based on the part of the building you are looking at and does not need to be painted manually. Building edits are automatically performed immediately, completely eliminating the step of selecting tiles.

Simple Edit makes editing a breeze and should also prove helpful for players who are new to building in Fortnite or interested in learning. Easy Editing provides a smaller selection of edits available and more editing options available to those mastering the current editing system.

As with any major addition to Fortnite, we will collect data and feedback on Simple Edit and may make adjustments to the system in the future.

This should take care of this along with all new movement mechanics, magical powers and a brand new map Fortnite There are plenty of players to play around with as December begins. I’ll dive in tomorrow and try to earn the new umbrella.
