When is the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 live event?

Epic Games have now confirmed that the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 live event will take place on Saturday, June 4, 2022, at 1PM PT / 4PM ET / 9PM BST.

It was initially assumed that the live event would take place on June 3, as that’s when the Battle Pass is scheduled to expire, although it looks like Epic Games have now extended that date by one day.

What will happen during the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 live event?

As always, details of the upcoming Fortnite live event are being kept firmly under wraps, but we do know it will have something to do with The Collider – aka the Doomsday Device at the center of the map.

It’s likely that Dr. Slone and the Imagined Order will be using this device to cause catastrophic destruction to the Island, and it will be up to The Seven and Fortnite players around the world to put a stop to them.

The official Fortnite Twitter account has also teased that the Mecha Team Leader from way back in Chapter 1 Season 9 will be returning to help players defeat the Imagined Order.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 live event leaks & rumors

One of the first Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 live event leaks came on May 19, 2022, where dataminers like iFireMonkey shared a first look at the lobby background that will appear in the build-up to the event.

This lobby background offers further confirmation that Mecha Team Leader will be returning during the live event – and the window in the background suggests that the event could even be set in outer space.

On a side note, it was recently teased that a Darth Vader skin will appear in Chapter 3 Season 3. This, combined with the lobby background above, has left many fans speculating that the next season will be space-themed.

We’ll keep this page updated as more rumors and leaks get shared, but for the most part, we’ll try to keep things a surprise – that’s the best way to enjoy these events after all!
