When does the live event of Season OG start? The live event is scheduled for Saturday, December 2, 2023, at 8 PM German time (via fortnite.com). This is one of the largest live events Fortnite has ever created. The developers are ending Chapter 4 and then starting Chapter 5 with a big bang. The event is named “The Big Bang.”
You should be aware of the following: Note that you can join the event mode 30 minutes before the event. Since this is a huge event, you should log in with your account 3 to 4 hours before the event, as you might face long waiting times and thus miss the event.
Here’s what you can expect at the event; if you don’t want to read spoilers, we advise against continuing.

The live event is meant to mark a new start for Fortnite
What can I expect at the live event? Many leakers managed to access the new update data after Patch 27.11 and found out that Epic Games has prepared many things that players can expect at the event.
The main attraction of the event is expected to be a performance by Eminem, the iconic rapper, who you shouldn’t mess with. However, according to Epic, this is not a concert; Slim Shady is supposed to play a significant role and usher us into Chapter 5. What Epic Games has planned and whether Eminem will rap a song or two is still unknown.
What is known, however, is that Epic Games has entered into a partnership with Lego. In the background image of the Fortnite lobby, there is a llama that has been built with Lego. There have been many rumors from leakers about this beforehand (via twitter.com), that Epic Games is working on a Lego mode, and with Chapter 5, it might finally come to fruition.
Additionally, Fortnite contains the following encrypted data about upcoming modes (via twitter.com):
Epic Games has allowed players to see or test things in live events that were then added in the new chapter or season. So it could be that players might temporarily swagger around Fortnite as Lego beings and drive around in race cars to test the new modes.
Lastly, Epic Games themselves claim that the live event of Chapter 4 is meant to mark a reboot for Fortnite. How big the reboot will actually be we will probably only see on December 2.
Will there be downtime after the event? Yes, and this has already been announced by Epic Games. On Sunday, December 3, 2023, Fortnite will start server maintenance at 05:30 AM German time.
What happens in the time between the end of the live event and the start of maintenance is not known, but we suspect that Epic will deactivate the servers right after the event. Players have often had to wait before an endless loading screen until Epic started maintenance hours later.
That was all the important information about the upcoming live event of Fortnite. Should new information be released, we will add it in our article.
