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.
