Check out how we test and review games here With the Fortnite x Star Wars season launching on May 2, many players are eagerly waiting for a live event. Events usually happen in the final week of seasons, with the biggest ones taking place on the very last day. However, this season is different, and the event has already happened. If you closely followed the Fortnite map over the past few days, you have likely noticed several changes. Not only has Daigo entered the portal at Magic Mosses, but the Death Star also appeared in the sky. These are the events that will lead us into the Star Wars season, which is set to come out on early Friday. When will the next Fortnite live event happen? Unfortunately, there will be no live event in Fortnite on Thursday, May 1. While this is the last day of Chapter 6 – Season 2, Epic opted for a longer mini-event instead. Due to this, we have seen the map go through several changes over the past two weeks, which culminated with the appearance of the Death Star. The next Fortnite live event will take place on June 7, the final day of the Star Wars season. The Final Showdown: Death Star Sabotage is the name of the event, and it will include a fight against Emperor Palpatine. The next Fortnite live event will take place at the end of the Star Wars season. Image by VideoGamer When the Star Wars season comes out on Friday morning, we will likely get an introductory trailer that reveals more details about what happened with Daigo and the Death Star. For the big event, we will have to wait until the end of the season, which will last for only five weeks. While waiting for Season 3, make sure to unlock the free Stormtrooper skin in Fortnite. The new season also brings a pair of Twitch Drops and a unique loot pool.
