Fortnite is gearing up for a grand closure to its Chapter 4 with the much-anticipated live event, The Big Bang. This event, announced by Epic Games, promises to be a game-changing spectacle, marking the transition from Chapter 4 to the debut of Chapter 5.
As the current chapter concludes, marked by a journey through classic maps and the revival of iconic weapons, players are eagerly anticipating what The Big Bang will bring.
The Big Bang event is set to unfold on Saturday, December 2, 2023. Starting at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET / 7 PM GMT, the exact duration of the event is still under wraps.
Given Fortnite’s history of memorable events, like the infamous black hole, it’s possible that the servers may go offline for some time following the event, so experiencing it live might be a one-time opportunity.
