We don't know much about what's in store for battle royale yet. User-made Creative maps will remain online until 8:30 PM PT / 11:30 PM ET on November 2. Unlike that event, however, Fortnite will not be going completely offline at its conclusion. You should expect this event to be some sort of remix of Chapter 1's The End event, which saw the battle royale island get sucked into a black hole. If you attend the event, and then buy Marshall Never More a year later, the game will remember and unlock the bonus style for you.

And you don't have to already own the skin. That skin, Marshall Never More, is not free-those who purchase it will receive an exclusive bonus style from the event. While most of the specifics of the event will probably remain under wraps right up until it begins, Epic has shared the most important detail already: Rapper Eminem will be a major part of the Big Bang event-he has three skins in the item shop right now, with one of them getting an exclusive style if you attend The Big Bang. But we're finally getting one at the end of Fortnite OG, dubbed The Big Bang, that will take place on Saturday, December 2 starting at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET. Yes! Fortnite hasn't had any live events since the poorly received Fracture event a year ago, which is the longest drought for Fortnite live events since the game started doing them in Chapter 1. Will there be a live event to conclude Fortnite OG/Chapter 4? This estimate is based on in-game information, including when the game goes offline for the Chapter 5 patch. When does Fortnite Chapter 5 begin?įortnite Chapter 5 is expected to start on the morning of Sunday, December 3, though an official launch date and time has yet to be announced.

December is shaping up to be possibly the biggest month in Fortnite's history with the introduction of a major new Lego mode, a Rocket League-related racing mode, a new rhythm game from Harmonix, and of course a brand-new battle royale island. Yes, that means we actually know a lot about what's coming up in Chapter 5-several major additions to Fortnite's metaverse have been rumored for nearly a year, and it looks like they're all finally happening. It looks like Fortnite is going to expand pretty dramatically in this new chapter. While OG season has been a resounding success with Fortnite pulling in more than 5 million players each weekend, this old map is pretty creaky and not really up to snuff in terms of design.

As the whirlwind Fortnite OG season is coming to a close after just a month, it's time to return back to the future with Fortnite Chapter 5.
