Fortnite’s latest Live Event has been announced for this weekend as Chapter 6 Season 3 reaches its final week. Live Events are story events in Fortnite that run for a very limited time. During this time, you can log into Fortnite to play an exclusive event that expounds on the plot of the current season, which right now is all about Superheroes.
With Superman and Robin at the forefront alongside a host of original superhero characters, this Live Event will see them taking on a strange threat, likely unleashed by the villain of this season, Daigo – another original Fortnite character. As for what you’ll get to do in the event remains to be seen, but these frequently have unique game mechanics to offer.
The event is set to start on August 2, 2025 at 2:30pm ET/11:30am PT/7:30pm BST. To join in with this event, all you need to do is log into Fortnite and join the game shortly before the start time. Entry for the event is set to start at 2pm ET/11am PT/7pm BST, so you’ll have plenty of time to get a spot to experience the event first-hand.
These events normally make big changes to the Fortnite map, which is why it’s interesting that this season still has one week left following the event, as the season is scheduled to end on August 7. Whether this turns out to just be part one of a two-part event or something special will occur remains to be seen, but if you want to find out, you’ll have to be there.
