Fortnite Season OG will come to an end shortly after The Big Bang event. The Big Bang event will take place Saturday, December 2, 2023, at 2 PM ET; players can access the event at 1:30 PM by visiting the Discover tab and accessing the Battle Royale tile. This will allow them to choose the cosmetic items that they would like to use once the event goes live.

Epic Games has disabled Fortnite 's age rating restrictions for the time being, so players can choose any cosmetics that they would like.

Fans will be able to play their last Fortnite Battle Royale game at 12 PM ET, two hours prior to the event, as Epic Games will disable their playlists in order to prepare for the event. As long as they play Creator-made islands, gamers who prefer to play Creative mode will still be able to play until downtime starts on December 2 at 11:30 PM ET.

What to Expect From the Live Event

The end-of-season event will bring Fortnite OG to a close and introduce players to a new chapter. According to Epic Games, The Big Bang live event will be the start of a new beginning for Fortnite.

Leaks indicate that completely different game modes will be added to Fortnite once the next chapter starts, so it is possible that the event will provide some insight into what is to come. Rumors have led many gamers to believe that the following game modes will be introduced:

  • LEGO mode
  • Rocket Racing mode
  • Fortnite Festival mode

The Fortnite LEGO llama has now been teased in the new lobby background, and Eminem will be making an appearance in the live event, which will most likely be connected to the upcoming festival mode.
