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.

So what exactly can we look forward to? Here's everything you need to know about the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 start date.
