Want to get ahead of the game? Here’s what you need to know before the Fortnite live event starts, such as predicted time, where to tune in, and more!
When is the Fortnite live event?
Epic Games has yet to disclose when the next event will take place, a fact that still remains unclear despite all the Chapter 6 Season 2 leaks.
We assume that the live event will occur ahead of the next Fortnite season on February 21, 2025.
Leaks have surfaced online proposing that the event will happen this weekend, from February 15-16, 2025. However, take that with a grain of salt. Historically, past events have taken place between 2 to 4 PM ET, so it’s likely the upcoming event will be scheduled similarly.
Leaks by Loolo suggests a February 15 start at 3.30 pm ET, though that’s far from certain.
We recommend waiting until Epic speaks up about the event before making plans.
How to watch the Fortnite live event?
The events are likely to take place in-game, so you simply need to log on and queue into a public match. Alternatively, it is also possible to watch the event online through popular Fortnite creators and Epic Games themselves. Leaks specify that the scope of the event will be much smaller in comparison to last year’s Remix live event, so a dedicated mode is unlikely.
We would recommend logging in early ahead of time to avoid any long queue times or technical problems.
What will happen in the Fortnite live event?
Epic has been radio silent when it comes to the contents of the live event. Many speculate that it will mark the end of the current season before Chapter 6 Season 2 releases.
Leakers have data-mined the game for details on the live event, and have shared insights into what we can expect.
User Loolo made a post on X showcasing various models of portals, though they have yet to be confirmed by Epic.
The leaker also remarked that the characters Jade and Daigo, skins that appeared in Chapter 6 Season 1, will be the main focus of the event.
It sounds like there’s plenty to be excited about for the mysterious live event. However, we urge readers to take any data-mined information with skepticism until more details are revealed.
