Fortnite event start time, Doctor Doom event release date and login warning | Gaming | EntertainmentFortnite developer Epic Games has announced plans to hold an in-game event this weekend. The upcoming Fortnite event will see Marvel villain Doctor Doom unleash chaos and destruction within the Battle Royale island. According to a countdown timer that appeared after the release of update 31.30 earlier this week, the Doom is Coming Fortnite event has an October 5 release date and a 7pm BST UK start time (that's 2pm ET for fans living in the US). We're not entirely sure what will happen during the event, but based on the teaser trailer further down the page, Doctor Doom will likely make an explosive reappearance in the game. No doubt players will need to team up to foil his plans. Needless to say, if you are planning to check out the event live and in person, then you should login around 30 minutes before the start of the festivities. Indeed, to ensure you don't get blocked from taking part due to overcrowded servers, it's worth logging in at around 6.30pm BST. Epic Games hasn't announced plans to replay the event, although Daily Express will keep this article updated with any new information and official announcements. The news of the event was announced by Epic Games on X, alongside a preview of what to expect. "Not a Doombot. Not a Henchman. Doom is coming." The tweet was accompanied by a brief teaser trailer showing fan favourite Fortnite characters brushing themselves off after some kind of explosion. This weekend's in-game event takes place ahead of this year's Fortnitemares festivities. Based on recent leaks, it looks like Fortnitemares will add a spooky Marshmello skin, as well as a Leatherface skin from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the puppet from the SAW movie franchise. Insiders such as Shiina have also discovered new skins such as Dark Ruby, Knightmare, Shadow Monks and Zain. The new update also added the Shaq skins and items to the game. Confirming previous rumours, former NBA basketball player Shaquille O’Neal and his alter ego DJ Diesel have been given an October 4 release date in the US and an October 5 launch date in the UK. The Shaq skin, emotes and items will be available when Epic Games refreshes the shop at around 1am BST UK time on October 5. Source link Posted: 2024-10-04 23:07:12 |
