Death Star Sabotage Fortnite live event start time and what we know so far
It's time to bid adieu to a season filled with blasters, Wookies and the incessant fire from X-Wings, as the Fortnite Galactic Battle mini-season is on the brink of ending. The major Star Wars revamp for the game was a delightful surprise for players eager to pilot a Star Destroyer and become their own bounty hunter with a highly customisable Mandalorian skin.
However, as the Chapter 6 Season 3 start date looms (yes, the Star Wars season wasn't a numbered entry so we're going into season 3 not 4) players are preparing for the leaked superhero season.
Before we reach that point, there's the climactic Fortnite live event poised to bridge the gap between this season and its forthcoming downtime. The Death Star Sabotage event is set to give players the opportunity to rip the moon-sized weapon from the sky once and for all, foiling the Emperor's assumed destructive plans for the island.
Details about what players will actually be doing are scarce, but we can make several assumptions about the gameplay that awaits us in the next Fortnite event. But when exactly does it start?
Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming Fortnite live event.
The Death Star Sabotage Fortnite live event is set to kick off at , as confirmed by Epic Games in a recent tweet, revealing when we can anticipate joining the live event.
The Fortnite live event will feature its own unique lobby where players will gather ahead of it being joinable. There won't be any re-runs, and the game will transition directly into its downtime once it's over.
A fresh teaser trailer has been released via the Fortnite Twitter account, offering a snipper of sequences from the live event. It depicts players dashing into various parts of the Death Star, blasting lasers at Stormtroopers as they storm the base.
We also catch a brief glimpse of gameplay featuring a player soaring towards the Death Star in a TIE Fighter, which is presumably how we'll actually board the space station. This was initially suggested by the key art of Fishstick in a Stormtrooper outfit emerging from the top of the spaceship, so it's reassuring to see that it'll be a crucial part of the experience.
We can anticipate aerial battles on the ascent, as well as a significant showdown when we finally reach the Death Star.
Regardless of what awaits, it's evident that this Fortnite live event is going to be a major one, and players are incredibly eager to thwart the Empire's schemes. We'll see you up there.

Black Myth Wukong release date for Xbox and when 2024's leading soulslike comes to the Series X
Black Myth: Wukong is finally making its way to Xbox Series X|S, and it's not too far away. Players can get ready to dive in with Wukong and the Monkey King with all of its Chinese mythology and sharp combat. The much-anticipated 2024 soulslike game, Black Myth: Wukong, is finally making its way to Xbox after Game Science's previous claims that the Xbox Series S wasn't robust enough to handle it. Black Myth: Wukong made quite the impact when it first landed on PlayStation and PC. While there's no shortage of soulslike games for players to delve into as FromSoftware continues to work on its multiplayer-player side quest in Elden Ring Nightreign, something about Wukong's Chinese mythology and responsive controls resonated with players in a way that other games simply couldn't match. This is the same reason why the appearance of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers on Xbox Game Pass was so thrilling. However, the game's journey was shrouded in controversy within the broader gaming community – the company claimed that the Xbox Series S simply wasn't capable of handling the game, which reportedly delayed the game's debut on Microsoft consoles this console generation. Forbes debunked this claim, reporting that an exclusivity deal was actually in place that the company was keeping under wraps, and Xbox took the flak for it – but now, presumably with the deal having expired (conveniently timed), it's finally arriving on Xbox Series X|S after a long wait. Despite initial doubts raised by Game Science about the game's compatibility with the Series S, it seems these concerns are now irrelevant. The team has confirmed in a blog post that all issues have been resolved and the game is set to launch on the console. For fans of soulslikes, the wait won't be long. So, when exactly is Black Myth: Wukong hitting Xbox? Here's what you need to know.

Black Myth: Wukong Xbox release date The release date for Black Myth: Wukong on Xbox is scheduled for Tuesday, August 19 at 7pm PDT / 10pm EDT, and Wednesday, August 20 at 3am BST. This information comes directly from Game Science, who revealed that the Xbox port of Black Myth: Wukong will be released on Wednesday, August 20 (Hong Kong time), coinciding with the exact time the full game was launched a year ago. The game has a lot to prove to new players on Microsoft consoles, particularly as every other console has had a significant head start. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers has already made a positive impact on Xbox Game Pass. Interestingly, the game's arrival on the console exactly a year after its initial release fuels speculation about an exclusivity deal – but for many players, this is no longer a concern. It's time to dive in.

Snag a LEGO Bluey set from Argos for less than £3 with little known trick
You can currently get your hands on the £18 LEGO Bluey playground set that's suitable for young children with a huge £15 saving if you use this clever trick Lego sets, with their vast array of themes and sizes, cater to a wide range of interests. Whether it's Star Wars or Lord of the Rings film-based models, or sets designed for younger audiences, there's something for everyone. One such set is based on the popular children's TV show Bluey, featuring a Bluey Playground set suitable for children aged four and up. Normally priced at £18, we've found a savvy way for parents to nab it for less than £3 using a nifty trick at the Argos checkout. Customers can simply head over to the TopCashback site and create a new account using our unique link to receive £15 back on qualifying orders over £15. This includes the Lego Bluey set, resulting in a saving of £15.22 for shoppers. The Bluey set consists of 104 pieces in total, making it an easily manageable set for young builders. The set includes both Bluey and Chloe minifigures, along with a Playground diorama for staging them. Designed with bright colours, this LEGO set not only offers fun playtime but also provides clear and simple building instructions. Once put together, the set makes for an excellent display model. Alternatively, the robust characters and scenery can withstand active play as playset models. If your little ones are more into Disney films than Bluey, there are other sets that might catch their eye. The Heihei model from Moana 2 is currently reduced to £24.99 on Amazon, while the Stitch set has also been heavily discounted to £42.99. At Argos, the Bluey LEGO set has garnered a solitary review, with the purchaser granting it five stars. "My 4 year old daughter loved this for her first LEGO set. She is a huge Bluey fan," their review states. Meanwhile, on the LEGO website, another glowing five-star review reads: "That was awesome and easy to build." However, another reviewer on the LEGO website offered a less enthusiastic three-star rating, without providing any further explanation for their score. With schools returning for a fresh term just around the corner, parents will undoubtedly be hunting for new uniforms. Both first-time and seasoned mums and dads will recognise that these can cost a considerable amount. Fortunately, there is a method for budget-conscious shoppers to obtain uniform items for significantly less, as little as £1.27 per item. This is once again thanks to TopCashback, which regularly provides a percentage back on every qualifying purchase throughout the year, along with a complimentary £15 new member sign-up bonus for newcomers, reports the Liverpool Echo. TopCashback's spokesperson Abigail Yearley emphasised: "There's often a long list of things to replace such as outgrown uniforms, broken stationery and worn-out shoes. Fortunately, back-to-school doesn't have to cost a fortune."

Love Is Blind UK's Kieran is Mensa member who founded company worth millions at 19
Love Is Blind UK is welcoming back a fresh batch of singles for season 2, and one contestant with a particularly impressive resume is Kieran Holmes-Darby. Popular dating show Love Is Blind UK has returned for season 2, with a new group of contestants hoping to find love on the Netflix hit with a unique premise. Celebrity couple Matt and Emma Willis have returned to host the series, which sees singles propose to one another before they have ever laid eyes on their future partner. Instead, they speak in separate pods in the hope of connecting on a deeper level, before finally meeting their fiancés in person. This year's line-up includes a professional musician, a cafe owner and even a member of the armed forces. One cast member with a particularly interesting backstory, however, is Forbes Under 30 honorary Kieran Holmes-Darby. Which gaming company did Kieran Holmes-Darby found? At the age of 19, Kieran and his brother Joel Holmes-Darby co-founded UK esports company Excel back in 2014. The entrepreneur, now 28, has previously discussed how they would spend hours gaming with each other remotely from their university dorm rooms at opposite ends of the country before deciding to set up their own esports team. Excel became known for its strong teams across popular games like League of Legends and Fortnite, with its players competing internationally. The team even starred in the BBC gaming documentary, Fight for First: Excel Esports, which aired in January 2021. Kieran told South West Londoner at the time: 'It's so very exciting; it's a nice bit of recognition and I'm really happy. 'I have lots of people — from school, distant relatives, people from university — messaging me to say congratulations and it's really great. 'Gaming has always been a big part of our lives and we're quite competitive people by nature. It's been quite the journey from the dorm room to where we are now, but a really exciting one.' Is Kieran Holmes-Darby a member of Mensa? According to Netflix's Tudum, 'secret geek' Kieran is a member of Mensa and is no stranger to success. At the age of just 25, Kieran was also made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for putting UK esports on the map. To qualify for membership of Mensa, you must demonstrate an IQ in the top two percent, either through taking our supervised test or submitting prior evidence. What does Kieran Holmes-Darby do now? In 2023, Excel merged with Spanish organisation Giants Gaming, creating the GIANTX brand, which continues to be a large presence in Esports. Kieran left the organisation following the merger and has since become Manager of the League of Legends team Los Ratones, which is owned by former Excel player Marc Robert 'Caedrel' Lamont. The entrepreneur also joined sports and gaming-focused creative agency Ear to the Ground as their Business Director. What is Kieran Holmes-Darby's plan for Love Is Blind? According to Netflix's Tudum, Kieran had been single for 18 months when they started filming Love Is Blind UK season 2. Described by his friends and family as 'the golden boy', Kieran was previously in a relationship for seven years, but is now ready to find lasting love in the pods with his future wife. Will Kieran find what he's looking for? We'll just have to wait and see. Love Is Blind UK season 2, episodes 1-4 are now available to stream on Netflix.
