Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 is here, but when are we getting the next Fortnite live event?
Ad
The story in Chapter 7 has been a hit so far, and we're eager to see even more Story Moments as it continues to unravel.
But when will it take place? For everything we know so far about the next Fortnite live event, read on!
When is the next Fortnite live event?
The next Fortnite live event does not have a confirmed start date yet.
The most recent live event, called Unstable, took place on 15 August ahead of the launch of Chapter 7 Season 4.
You can expect the next one to arrive just before the end of Season 4, as we look forward to Season 5.
What to expect for the next Fortnite live event
At the moment, we don't know anything about the next Fortnite live event.
We'll likely find out more in the weeks leading up to the event as Epic Games teases more of what's to come in the Fortnite story.
How to join a Fortnite live event
To experience the next Fortnite live event, it's best to join a game of Battle Royale before the event is due to begin to experience it in its entirety.
In preparation for events, Epic often takes down Fortnite experiences (like creator mode) until the event's conclusion as it begins to work on implementing the update.
We suspect it will play out much the same way for the next live event, though we'd recommend logging on at least a couple of hours early if you are serious about attending it.
As the most popular game in the world, Fortnite commonly receives huge queues as players attempt to sign on to Epic's servers, so whatever you do, always sign on early to not miss out.
