As Fortnite OG bids farewell with a spectacular live event known as The Big Bang, players are already gearing up for the launch of Chapter 5. With leaks of the Chapter 5 Battle Pass circulating, the community is buzzing with anticipation for what’s to come in the next installment of the popular game.
The great news—or possibly not so great, depending on your attachment to Fortnite OG—is that Fortnite Chapter 5 is set to kick off this Sunday, December 3. The climax of Fortnite OG, marked by The Big Bang event, promises to be a fitting conclusion to the nostalgic journey down memory highway that characterized this mini-season within Chapter 4. The Big Bang is touted as the biggest live event in Fortnite yet, weighing in at a hefty 1.5GB. It’s expected to introduce exciting new modes, including a rumored Lego collaboration, a racing game mode, and a brand-new rhythm game mode reminiscent of the Rock Band series—an intriguing development given that Epic Games acquired the series’ developer, Harmonix, in 2021.
Fortnite Chapter 5 officially commences once The Big Bang live event concludes. Notably, the event is set to feature an in-game concert by Eminem, promising an experience players won’t want to miss. Attendees will be rewarded with a free Marshall Magma style for one of their Fortnite Eminem skins, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event.
So, when exactly does Fortnite Chapter 5 start?
The eagerly awaited launch date is confirmed for this Sunday, December 3. Leaks had been circulating, but Epic Games officially solidified the date in a blog post discussing cosmetic gating, making it official confirmation. The start time for Fortnite Chapter 5 is expected to follow a few hours after the downtime for the v28.00 update. Players should brace themselves for some pre-live event downtime and additional maintenance as Epic Games gears up to implement the highly anticipated Fortnite Chapter 5 update.
Get ready for the Big Bang and beyond as Fortnite ushers in a new chapter of excitement, challenges, and undoubtedly, more memorable moments for players around the world. The countdown to December 3 has begun, so mark your calendars and prepare to dive into the next era of Fortnite adventures!
