Tonight is the night: The Star Wars live event in Fortnite will take place. We will show you the time, countdown, and what we know so far about the Fortnite X Star Wars event.
Update 20:03: Due to high demand, the event has been postponed to 20:10. Fortnite is experiencing login issues.
When does the live event start today? Today, Saturday, December 14, the live event for Star Wars in Fortnite will start. The countdown at Risky Reels counts down the time to 20:00 CEST (our time) on Saturday evening. The event should start around this time.
You can see the countdown at Risky Reels (west of Frenzy Farm). The live event will also start there. It’s best to find a good spot where you can keep an eye on the countdown.
Keep in mind that the doors to the “Star Wars” event will open at 19:30. So you should start the game early enough.
What happens at the Star Wars live event? At this event, an exclusive scene from the new Star Wars film: The Rise of Skywalker will be shown.
The film’s director J.J. Abrams will likely be present at the live event and may even say a few words about the new film.
