Death Star Sabotage Fortnite live event start time and what we know so far
The time has arrived to topple the Empire with the Death Star Sabotage Fortnite live event.
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.
