At what time is the Fortnite event? Schedule and how to watch it live today

The day has come. Today, Friday, November 1, 2024, Fortnite celebrates its big event that will end Chapter 5 of the game and give way to Fortnite Remix: Chapter 2, a small, month-long season event.

How to watch the new Fortnite live event: times and what to do to participate

The exact date and time of the Fortnite event, which will end Chapter 5 of the game, is November 1, 2024, at 6:30 pm ET. This date and time corresponds to the following time zones in the United States:

To watch the event live, we will need to be playing Battle Royale or Zero Build and head to the Restored Reels in the center of the map:

This area of the island has begun to see changes that serve to build anticipation for the event, with a Tony Stark Rift Beacon pointing to the screening location. Don’t worry, Epic Games assures us that there will be no damage from the storm or enemies, so we won’t have to worry about dying.

There will be an active countdown in the waiting room that will allow us to know exactly when the event will begin:

We recommend that you connect about half an hour before to avoid the dreaded login problems, and that you enter a game about ten or fifteen minutes before the event starts to be able to see it from within the game itself.

What will happen at this Fortnite event?

Both the name of the event itself and the way Epic Games has been promoting it point to a small musical event that serves as both a tribute to Chapter 5 and an appetizer for Fortnite Remix: Chapter 2, which kicks off about twelve hours later. A DJ table available in Restored Reels, the spot on the map where the countdown with the event logo is, reinforces the music event theory.

So it won’t be an epic or plot-advancing event like Doctor Doom, but rather something more commemorative to celebrate this past year of Fortnite and usher in the next phase of the game.

When does Fortnite Remix: Chapter 2 starts?

Fortnite Remix: Chapter 2 will begin on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at 2:00 am ET. This date and time corresponds to the following times in the United States:

To play the new Fortnite season, we will have to connect to the game from this date and time and download patch 32.00, which is the one that adds all the new content. In addition, it will also require several hours to wait while Epic Games servers are in maintenance mode to ensure that the new season is implemented correctly. To find out when the servers will be activated, we can follow the X account @FortniteStatus to keep an eye on the status updates.
