When is the next Fortnite live event? Everything you need to know about the incoming Rocket Launch
Fortnite has been excelling in the content arena with the immensely popular Blitz Royale mode and the Squid Grounds Reload takeover – though it has experienced a few hiccups. The recent 36.20 update unexpectedly encountered significant downtime, prompting Epic Games to issue an official extended downtime statement to appease disgruntled fans.
Players were temporarily barred from the game as the company worked to implement the first update following the Epic Games' summer hiatus. Fortunately, the game bounced back, and players have been immersing themselves in its new Superman POI and abilities. However, many are unaware that there's a surprise awaiting those who remain loyal to OG.
The upcoming Fortnite live event promises to offer players a nostalgic trip with the new Rocket Launch event, modelled after the game's initial live event of the same name. This marks a first for Fortnite as it launches its new live event in OG rather than the standard Battle Royale mode, and the fact that it's based on a classic live event from 2018 certainly sparks curiosity.
So, when exactly can we anticipate the new Fortnite live event? Here's what you need to know.
When is the next Fortnite live event?
The forthcoming Fortnite live event is scheduled to kick off on Saturday, July 26. The date was disclosed by the Fortnite Twitter account, adding that the exact time of the event's commencement will be announced in due course.
Recent live events have had rather unpredictable timings, but the Death Star Sabotage event from Chapter 6's Star Wars mini-season started at 2pm PDT / 5pm EDT / 10pm BST, also on a Saturday. However, it remains uncertain whether this upcoming event will follow the same schedule.
Regardless of the precise launch time of the live event, it promises to be thrilling, particularly as Fortnite could take one of two routes – it could either recreate the classic live event beat-for-beat, or it could inject some contemporary flair into proceedings. We'll just have to wait and see what Epic Games has planned.
