In Fortnite, there haven’t always been live events. Its first was celebrated by the shooter in 2018 with Season 4, and this event is set to be showcased again in just a few days. How you can participate in this event is explained in our overview.
What kind of event is this? This is a repeat of the first live event from Fortnite in 2018. Under the name “Blast Off”, a rocket was launched by one of the Seven, which flew through the then-map to eventually create the first rift.
Anyone who didn’t play Fortnite at that time missed the event. However, Epic Games is now giving new players the chance to experience the old event through the Fortnite: OG mode. The live event is just around the corner and you can be there live.
Another iconic event from Fortnite is the one with the black hole:
Everything Important About the Repeat of the First Live Event
When does the event start? The event has triggered a countdown in Fortnite, which ends on Saturday, July 26th at 8:00 PM. At this time, the live event in Fortnite will start.
How can I participate in this? This is still not entirely clear. In the more modern live events that Epic Games has prepared, there were dedicated modes for the live events.
However, since this is a rather small and old live event, we expect that you will just need to start a round in Fortnite: OG at the right time to see the event. We will update this section as soon as Epic Games shares more information about it.
Are there rewards for the event? Currently, there are no details about limited rewards for participation in the event. We will also update you on this part as soon as Epic Games releases more information.
Will there be repeats of the event? This is also not known yet. Since every live event causes a large influx of players, it’s quite possible that there will be several repeats of the event over the weekend. This ensures that every player has the chance to participate in the event.
So far, relatively few details about the event are known. We will keep you updated as soon as Epic Games reveals more. Meanwhile, feel free to read more about Fortnite.
