Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 live event start time

Updated October 5, 2024 at 2:38 p.m. ET: This event is live right now and you still have time to join in and help defeat the massive raid boss Doctor Doom.

Original article: We're in for a treat this season as there's not just one live event for Chapter 5 Season 4, but two, and the first is coming this week, almost a month before the end of the season. Doctor Doom's plans are coming to fruition sooner than expected and we must do something to stop this and prevent catastrophe.

We'll explain everything we know about the upcoming live event and when it's scheduled to begin. If you want to know what else was added in this week's update, check out our full Fortnite v31.30 patch notes.

The Fortnite live event is scheduled to begin on October 5, 2024, 2:00 p.m. ET. Here's what this means for your time zone:

We don't know the exact details of this event yet, but based on the story so far this season, we can make some good guesses. Doom has recently summoned Pandora's Box back to the island and is looking for a way to harness its power. Therefore, it is likely that the man himself plays a crucial role in this event.

The only thing we know for sure is that there will be a cinematic cutscene in the event, which means you can expect something big to happen that will kick off the second live event at the end of this season. It's fun events like this that make Fortnite one of the best battle royale games of all time.
