Remix: The Prelude is a dedicated game mode, distinct from Creative or UEFN maps. It unfolds on the Battle Royale island. To join:
- Navigate to the “Discover” row in the Fortnite lobby.
- Look for the “By Epic” column.
- Scroll down to find the Remix: The Prelude playlist icon.
To ensure a smooth experience, join the playlist at least 30 minutes before the event starts. This minimizes potential queue times and connection issues often associated with large-scale events.
What to Expect During the Event
The Remix: The Prelude event revolves around a concert theme, with rumors suggesting Marshmello’s involvement. The event is expected to transition players to the Chapter 2 Remix island. Currently, a Rift Beacon is active at the Restored Reels Point of Interest (POI), projecting a beam and opening a portal showcasing Chapter 2 graffiti.
Speculation also hints at the possibility of Chapter 2 POIs and gameplay elements appearing on the Chapter 5 map instead of players directly traveling to the island.
The Chapter 5 ending live event promises a remixed experience, particularly for long-time players nostalgic for Chapter 2 seasons. The Remix: The Prelude event sets the stage for this transition, offering a unique blend of music and in-game action.
