Finale Live Event

Last season, a Fortnite live event happened where cinematics and story-driven events happened for fans to enjoy as the game transitionsed to a new season. Unfortunately, no announcements or plans regarding an event that will happen as Season 3 concludes.

As Game Spot reported, fans expected an event to happen this weekend as some rumors speculated a few weeks ago that Epic is currently working on it. A note regarding the event was also expected in the 21.51 update, but as per data miners, nothing has been included.

Because of this, the report stated that the transition to a new season might be lowkey than usual.
