When is the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 live event?

Epic Games has begun preparing players for the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 live event with the release of the last substantial update for Season 3. With this new patch, the developers added a ton of new hints and clues about the future of the post-apocalyptic saga. The biggest addition is undoubtedly the in-game countdown for the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 live event.

Players can find the timer at Brutal Beachhead and it suggests that the event will happen on Saturday, August 10, 2024, at 2 PM ET.

Leaks regarding the upcoming live event have been prominent since the in-game changes to Redline Rig and Brutal Beachhead POI, leading to speculation about the Leviathan coming to life during a live event. While the new countdown timer does not confirm what will unfold during the event, it does suggest the involvement of the Leviathan in some capacity.

As mentioned previously, the in-game timer at the Brutal Beachhead POI points towards the live event taking place on August 10, 2024, at 2 PM ET. The event is merely four days away, taking place relatively soon, especially since the timer was just added to the game with the release of the v30.40 update.
