Is There a Fortnite Live Event Today? Chapter 7 Season 2 Launch Explained

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 is less than a day away, and players are eagerly anticipating the new wave of content Epic Games has planned for this new era of the Golden Coast island. With such heavy lore hitters like the Foundation and the Ice King at the centre of the new season, it has left many players to wonder: Is there a Fortnite live event today for the Chapter 7 Season 2 launch?

If you find yourself asking the same questions, here are all the answers you need regarding the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 launch live event.

Will There Be a Live Event For Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 Launch?

No, as of now, Epic Games has not announced a live event for Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 at launch today. While many were speculating that Epic would organise a live event for the finale of Chapter 7 Season 1, it has now been confirmed that the Dark Voyager Story Moment was the last live event for the current season.

Additionally, no leaks or official reports related to Chapter 7 Season 2 mention a launch live event anywhere, which means that players will likely be treated with an introductory cinematic when they load into the new season and not a live event. Even though there is a new Fortnite countdown timer in the lobby, it is not counting down to a live event, but rather the release time for Chapter 7 Season 2 itself.

While this might be disheartening news for many, don’t worry. Since Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 is expected to last almost 3 months, and Epic has already shown its willingness to feature smaller Story Moment live events in Chapter 7, players can expect a set of mini-events during the new season. It is important to remember that The Visitor’s rocket is still located at Classified Canyon, and it could play a role in the next Fortnite live event, whenever it takes place.
