According to the latest Fortnite leaks, there may be a live event to send off Chapter 5 Season 3. The same was done at the end of Chapter 5 Season 1 and Season 3. As such, this seems quite apt and falls into the pattern that Epic Games seems to be following off late. That said, the information regarding the existence of the upcoming live event comes from leakers NearbyLeaks and Egyptian_Leaker.
Both are well-known within the community and despite Egyptian_Leaker being on a hiatus for some time, it seems they're back in action at last. While a few things are known about the upcoming live event, the bulk of the information has not yet been shared in capacity. Nevertheless, here's what we know thus far.

Fortnite leaks shed light on upcoming live event for Chapter 5 Season 3
Thanks to NearbyLeaks and Egyptian_Leaker, two things can be considered near-certain. The first is that there will be a countdown visible in the sky. This means all players in-game will be able to see the timer as it slowly ticks down. The live event will start when the timer reaches zero. However, there will be minor in-game changes at different stages of the countdown.
Furthermore, according to Egyptian_Leaker, the live event has been given tags. Other massive events like Fracture (Chapter 3 Season 4) and The Big Bang (Chapter 4 Season 5) had this as well. All of this points to the fact that the upcoming event can be classified as "live" and not just changes in the background during a match.
Based on an image that was captured, the upcoming live event may kick off on Saturday (August 10, 2024) at 2 pm Eastern Time.
However, the nature of the live event is largely unknown. Based on the storyline thus far, it will involve Megalo Don and his giant ship called Leviathan. Fortnite leaks suggest that the Nitro pipes might revive the Leviathan. Early-game footage provided by ShiinaBR suggests that Pandora's Box might return.
Pandora's Box will play a role in the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 live event
Owing to the footage provided, we can see that Pandora's Box is connected to all of this. It is located in Redline Rig, and the liquid coming out of it is none other than Nitro. So, it's a massive and quite possibly unlimited source of fuel.
This is what Megalo Don could be currently using to refuel his ship. However, it's still rather unclear what happens next. Despite leaked voice lines suggesting that Doom is already present on the island and is quite possibly masquerading around as The Wanderer, the storyline ahead is unclear.
More Fortnite leaks could surface during the Fortnite downtime today (August 6, 2024) and shed light on the story. For the time being, everything is open to interpretation and speculation. The only thing that can be said for certain is that the island is once more going to be tossed into a state of turmoil in Chapter 5 Season
Nevertheless, Hope yet may endure.
