Fortnite Super Showdown live event date, time, and more

Image via Epic Games. We are at the very horizon of Chapter 6 Season 3 in Fortnite. This season was totally based on the 'superhero' theme, with subsequent contents like Superman, The Fantastic Four, and many more. So, it was quite obvious that Fortnite wanted to end this season with another superhero banger, like the Super Showdown live event. Fortnite live event is a real treat to its fans, bringing them into a spectacular but synchronised experience. Such events are generally hosted at closing moments of any season for further lore progression. Let's see what Fortnite has to reveal after its Supernova Academy lore based Season 3. Everything you need to know about the Fortnite Super Showdown live event Fortnite has recently announced from its official Twitter handle that it is going to host the Super Showdown live event on August 2, 2025, at 2:30 PM ET. This event will most probably bring Daigo's master plan to light as the game's lore might progress with the highly anticipated kaiju-esque creature named Kraken summoned by Daigo himself. As of now, Fortnite hasn't yet revealed any further detail about the event, like how it is connected to the superhero theme of the current season. Players will be able to start matchmaking in this event 30 minutes prior to the actual start of the event. That means that this event will take place in a different map rather than the general battle royale map. According to certain rumors, this place is going to be the Demon's Domain, which is the corrupted stronghold of Diago. Players are advised to queue up at least 30 minutes early before the start of the event to get away from crashes and minimize the chances of actually missing out on this highly anticipated event. This event can be found under the Discover tab in the game on 2:00 PM ET on August 2. The Fortnite Super Showdown live event is going to last for approximately 15 minutes, so players should be alert before joining this event as it's non-repeatable. That means, once this event ends, players won't be able to join it again. Read More: When will the Fortnite servers come back online after v36.30 downtime?

Frustrated Fortnite players call for better Emotes after 'terrible' Jonas Brothers dance releases

Some Fortnite fans have started to get annoyed at the game's emotes, with some even calling for the game's developers to up their game when it comes to the game's dances Fortnite has consistently churned out cosmetic items, but some fans argue that this could be its downfall as players unite to criticise the game's recent lacklustre emotes. ‌ Cosmetics are the lifeblood of Fortnite, so much so that they've practically overshadowed the game itself. The introduction of Fantastic Four cosmetics was a significant event, with players hoping that the anticipated debut of Marvel's first family wouldn't follow the pen and ink style of the recent Super Battle Pass Superman skin. ‌ Thankfully, they didn't, otherwise Epic Games would have missed a substantial payday, particularly in the lead-up to the Super Showdown live event expected to bring more crossovers. ‌ The game continues to introduce new skins and cosmetics to maintain player interest and keep the game as relevant as ever. However, it appears that many players are growing weary of the game team's recent offerings. Some fans have taken to the internet to voice their overall dissatisfaction with the current state of emotes following some iconic dances – it's evident that many players have simply had enough. ‌ Exiting the Item Shop with a Waltz Taking to the FortniteBR subreddit, u/carno_101 has voiced their exasperation with Fortnite's current emote offerings in a fresh post, as the game unveils its latest dance inspired by The Jonas Brothers' Sucker. "They really aren't trying anymore," they declare in the headline, before elaborating: "From the extinction of original music in emotes. To only getting new icon emotes and now the icon emotes feel absolutely soulless. This feels like a 300 vbuck emote on loop with a song that has 0 relation to the dance." Fellow players appear to share this viewpoint, with u/alarrimore03 commenting: "It really is terrible. The dance isn't good, it doesn't match the song at all really, and it short and repeats like 3 times before it resets. Nearly all the emotes in the last 6 months have been this way." It's evident that enthusiasts are becoming increasingly disheartened by the day, and regrettably they make a valid argument – the title has declined considerably since introducing Orange Justice, and even the Griddy achieved legendary status amongst emotes. With fresh choreography allocated to Gracie Abrams, Ed Sheeran and Camilla Cabello that barely accomplish anything beyond incorporating their tracks into the game, it appears the title finds itself in a precarious position. Fortunately, the game's character skins have maintained quality recently, functioning as the primary and most coveted cosmetics that gamers desire, otherwise this could trigger something of a downward spiral for Epic Games. The company evidently requires a complete overhaul of its dance choreography.

When does Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 start? Here's when you can expect the rumoured bug invasion

The Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 start date is right around the corner, and the upcoming season is set to bring in a host of new gameplay additions to the game As Fortnite gears up for a new season, it's been a whirlwind of live events and fresh cosmetics before the game transitions to a new theme on the island. ‌ Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 has been an absolute riot thus far, and we're not ready to wrap things up just yet with the upcoming Super Showdown live event. The past few months have seen a plethora of offerings from the game, including the Fantastic Four cosmetics making their mark alongside Superman's debut in the Super Battle Pass, aligning the game with a summer filled with pop culture heroes. ‌ It's been thoroughly enjoyable immersing ourselves in this season's superhero theme, particularly as these characters are experiencing a cultural resurgence. The newly introduced characters from this significant content update have quickly become familiar faces, and their unique abilities have added an exciting dimension to gameplay. Notably, Morgan Myst's raven flurries and Killswitch's pistols, which allowed players to perform Max Payne-style aerial dives, were standout features. While Fortnite may have missed an opportunity for a crossover with the Rockstar and Remedy franchise, we're more than happy with what we've got. ‌ Change is certainly on the cards, with the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 start date fast approaching and a slew of new gameplay additions anticipated to roll out following the major transition. So what exactly can we look forward to? Here's everything you need to know about the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 start date. Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 start date The Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 start date is set for Thursday, August 7 at 3am PDT / 6am EDT / 11am BST. We first uncovered this confirmed release date when we delved into the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 end date. The commencement time of the season is based on the confirmed conclusion time of the current season as shown on the game's Battle Pass page, coupled with an estimated five-hour downtime, similar to what we experienced when Chapter 6 Season 3 launched. The upcoming season still holds many secrets, including whether the rumours of an intergalactic bug invasion hold any truth – but we can almost guarantee it'll be a blast. Bid farewell to your favourite superpowers before they're consigned to the archives.
