Fortnite Marvel live event start date, time, and latest news

Want the latest on the Fortnite Marvel live event? You’ve come to the right place. With all eyes pointing towards the anticipated launch of Fortnitemares, players dropping into the action are eagerly anticipating a brand-new live event after part six of the Marvel quests arrived. With the rumor mill spinning into overdrive, we’ve got everything you need to know about the upcoming event including its expected start date.

In-game events in Fortnite are often spectacular, attracting millions of players to see how Epic Games plans to lay the foundations for the launch of Chapter 5 Season 5 and the impending arrival of even more Fortnite skins to add to your collection. With Doctor Doom increasing his presence across the island, here’s what we know about the Marvel live event so far.

When is the next Fortnite live event?

The Fortnite Marvel live event is set to take place on Saturday, October 5, 2024, at 11AM PT / 2PM ET / 7PM BST / 8PM UT. This was confirmed by an in-game projection of a countdown clock, after being rumored and leaked by reputable Fortnite leaker HypeX.

Alongside HypeX, the information was also corroborated by fellow leaker Rezztro who discovered Doom’s Island and the Day of Doom limited-time mode (LTM) will be inactive on the day the event is expected to take place. Once the event has come to an end, Fortnitemares will commence in addition to the anticipated collaboration with the Saw horror movie franchise.

According to Shiina, another reputable Fortnite leaker, there will be a new cinematic during the event, and this is the first of two live events that will take place this season. Given that the current season ends on November 5, that doesn’t leave long for the second to appear. We’ll update this guide with more information as soon as we hear anything.

Fortnite Marvel live event details

Based on the information from part six of the Absolute Doom story quests, Doom is on his way to the island and Hope is gearing up to fight him. Before that, the loopers have to defeat Emma Frost with the help of Forecast Towers dotted across the map. Hope continues and reveals she must fight Doom after receiving a prophecy from the Oracle which says there’s a chance she may achieve victory.

According to ScyanYT, the first six parts of the Absolute Doom story quests are the build-up to the main fight between Doom and Mephisto, which will introduce the next wave of story quests for you to complete. The Fortnite lore extraordinaire goes on to say four more parts of the current storyline are due to arrive as part of the next update, taking you all the way to the start of Chapter 5 Season 5 beginning in November.

As with any live event in Fortnite, there’s always a chance of the Fortnite map undergoing changes to mark the start of a fresh chapter. But, with the main showdown featuring Doom and Mephisto set for a later date, the chances of the map remaining the same are high.

Epic Games remains tight-lipped on what it has in store for the Marvel live event but if it’s anything like the spectacular visuals from the Galactus event that kicked off Chapter 5 Season 5, we’re definitely in for a treat.
