What do we know about the Fortnite Zero Hour live event?
Epic Games is yet to reveal the full details on the upcoming Fortnite Zero Hour live event.
We do have a trailer, which can be viewed above, and it shows all of the biggest Chapter 6 collaborations teaming up against a gigantic foe. There's a giant Homer Simpson, alongside Godzilla and King Kong. The kraken enemy appears to be back, having featured in the last two live events.
The trailer description reads: "Legends assemble in the final endgame to save reality. The fight begins in Fortnite Zero Hour".
One of the new characters that appears in Zero Hour is The Bride from Kill Bill. This has been confirmed as one of the first collaborations for Chapter 7, so we'll have to see how the sword-wielding warrior plays into the events of the Chapter finale event.
What is Fortnite Chapter finale Zero Hour?
Fortnite Chapter finale Zero Hour is the name of an upcoming live event.
Live events tend to happen at the end of season's, and in the case of Zero Hour, the event will usher in a whole new Chapter. Chapter 7 will begin following downtime once Zero Hour concludes. You'll want to log into Fortnite at the times specified above, and get into the bespoke matchmaking playlist. These tend to be very busy, with long wait times, so the earlier the better.
Once Zero Hour kicks off, you and your squad will fight alongside others in a scripted gameplay and cinematic sequence. We'll likely get to see some of Chapter 7, before the servers turn off for downtime. Generally, there's only one chance to catch the live event, so be sure to make time on the day, or follow along live as I cover it as part of an upcoming liveblog.
