The Death Star is in trouble as the upcoming gaming event will give users the opportunity to blast it out of the sky. Gaming fans have loved Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2, with its many loved features, including Outlaw Keycards changing how players get involved with rounds of its Battle Royale mode and the Sabrina Carpenter Music Pass delivering a huge swathe of Sabrinas on the island. But a big change is on its way from a galaxy far, far away.



A new Star Wars mini-season is on its way and is set to deliver a heap of new cosmetics , items and POIs to the island, bringing back a whole host of characters in an exciting development that Epic Games seems to be looking forward to rolling out. It’s the ideal time to be a fan of both Fortnite and Star Wars, as the new season seeks to upend the experience gamers have had so far. But when exactly can we expect the next live event in the game? Will it come to introduce the new season, or will it save its spoils for its grand finale? Here’s what you need to know about the next Fortnite live event.

The next Fortnite live event is expected to take place just before the end of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, on Saturday, June 7, reports the Mirror. This has been revealed by the official Fortnite Twitter account, who posted that a “live end of season narrative event” will cap off Chapter 6 Season 3, which comes after a Chapter 6 Season 2 without a live event. The game's appearance on the Star Wars blog revealed that the event, titled "Death Star Sabotage," will come on this date after a number of other game changes throughout the season.

The Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 length, which revealed an expected Season end date of Sunday, June 8, is expected to match up nicely with the end-of-season live event structure, so the next Fortnite live event will arrive at the end of the Galactic Battle season. And gamers are no doubt looking forward to this exciting development within Fortnite. Whenever Fortnite chooses to end a Season or Chapter with a live event, it’s usually pretty spectacular.

So it's no doubt that for Star Wars fans, the next Fortnite live event is going to be well worth waiting for.
