What is a Fortnite live event?
Live events are usually huge events that only happen once and change Fortnite’s storyline. They may occur in the middle or toward the end of the season. These are big in-game events where tons of the Fortnite player base gather together to experience something collectively. They advance the game’s storyline and usually are quite a spectacle.
In some events, the Battle Royale shooting is turned off so that everyone can stop attacking and enjoy the event, such as during a concert. Live events are typically held once every season, and there have been many across the past few seasons. Some live events may have unique game modes and rules.
How to know when there is a live event?
The official website, Fortnite IG, @FortniteGame, and @fortnite YouTube, are likely to inform you when there is an upcoming event and what time it is so that you can watch it in-game. Content creators or leaks may also post on their social media accounts when they are streaming a Fortnite event.
How to join a live event?
Whenever it comes, you can join any ongoing Fortnite live event by checking out the dedicated playlist in the game. In the the most recent event, the limited-time “Fracture” playlist was open 30 minutes before the launch, supporting parties of up to four players. The next event might be similar, or completely different! You will know it when it comes.
Info: Chapter 4 Season 3 without events
As we know, Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 was ended in just a few weeks ago, on August 25th. The Fortnite new season does not begin with an event. Whatever, we are getting some changes in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 that point toward something happening at least.
Not all Fortnite seasons have live events. However, there is a hint about the next live event and when it might be coming though. It could even arrive at the end of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4. Here you can watch a teaser trailer of the Fortnite Chapter 3 final event and feel about it. It is the last and latest Fortnite live event.
Will there is a event for Chapter 4 Season 4?
So far, no live events have happened during Chapter 4. Epic Games has not revealed anything about a live event for Chapter 4 Season 4. That’s the answer. Players should stay tuned to the official announcements for any updates on live events. Check here for more detail about the changes in Fortnite new season.
Traditionally, Epic Games tends to reveal some hits about live events a few days before they’re coming up. And players often see in-game timers counting down to these events. But so far, there has been no news about the Season 4 event on the Fortnite website. Furthermore, some players had noticed that the Apparatus moving around in the lead-up to Season 4, which has fuelled speculation of a live event.
List of the past main events
This is a general list of the main events that has taken place in Fortnite Battle Royale, from the earliest event Blast Off in Chapter 1 Season 4 to the latest Fracture in Chapter 3 Season 4.
You will see that in previous chapters, live events were held each season. This was later reduced to once every two seasons, resulting in only two events per year. Epic Games seems to have turned its attention away from events.

Final Words
New Fortnite characters come with new stories. The next live event is probably going to come at the end of C4 S4. We will see. Leaks point towards the game moving to Chapter 5 after C4 S4. Thankfully, it always lists when the current season is going to end, so we do know roughly when we’ll be playing the next season at least. The Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 end date and time is November at 2 AM ET. Epic has been holding these events at the ends of Chapters alone, so we could expect likely a bigger live event then.
