If you've been playing Fortnite for a long time, you may wonder where Chapter 5 Season 5 went, as the game seems to have skipped this season altogether.

Instead, Fortnite went in a different direction with the final season of Chapter 5.
It was a strong move by the game that helped keep it fresh and incorporated new live events, ensuring they could catch players' interest, both new and old.
It begs the question, what will the next season be in Fortnite, and how long will this current season last?
What happened to Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 5?
Instead of introducing Season 5, the game introduced Fortnite Remix. This season throws it back, celebrating Chapter 2 of the game with a musical twist and also showing off some of the best music artists today, with Snoop Dogg taking centre stage.
Remix will be the last season before we move onto Chapter 6, and it's a perfect palette cleanser after a season filled with cars, superheroes and plenty of spooky rewards with Fortnitemares.
When does the current Fortnite season end?

Fortnite Remix is set to end on Saturday 30th November, which will also be the end of the current Chapter, with Chapter 6 just around the corner.
According to the Battle Pass screen, this is the end date, making this season only four weeks, much shorter than usual. Of course, there can always be delays, so this season could last longer.
What will happen next in Fortnite?
The next Chapter will begin that weekend after this season ends, and little is known about what we can expect.
Some leaks suggest Fortnite OG will return to its permanent game mode, whilst a 5v5 online mode will also be introduced. As always, with leaks, it's best to take them with a pinch of salt, but so far, it looks to be an incredibly exciting next chapter.
There are also rumours that Chapter 6 will be themed around Japan, with an overhauled map, new locations, weapons, and more. Very little is known right now, but we've had plenty of Japanese-inspired skins and places in the game before, so an entire season would be welcome.
