It is codenamed Durian, but the official name seems to be "The Big Bang." Given that it will likely have to do with something related to resetting the timeline, this all adds up.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 5 live event leaks hint at extended downtime

Perhaps the most important leak to keep in mind about the upcoming Fortnite live event is that it will be followed by an extended downtime. This means that once the screen goes black, the servers will be offline for about 12 hours. However, this can always change at Epic Games' discretion.

Coming to the other details, according to the leakers/data miners, the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 5 live event will start on December 2, 2023, at 4 PM ET. Players should be able to see the countdown appear in-game by November 21, 2023. The lobby for the event should also be activated but will not be accessible until the event begins.

As per the details shared by the leakers/data miners, the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 5 live event will have four stages. One of them is codenamed "Night Night" and should include Grind Rails. It's unclear what this could be referring to at the moment.

Additionally, there will be three pre-event stages. These will include things like Beach, Castle, and Mining. Loot Island, Meteor, and the Rocket will seemingly also be involved. These may be referring to mini-games similar to those that were featured during the Chapter 3 Season 4 live event.

Furthermore, it would seem that Team Rumble is being used as the Blueprint for the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 5 live event. Players who have tried out this game mode should see similarities in the event lobby when it comes online.

What is the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 5 live event storyline?

For the time being, there is no information available on what will happen during the live event. The only thing that has been more or less confirmed thus far by leakers/data miners is that the Rocket and Time Machine will play a major role.

Given that the Rocket played a pivotal role in the original Chapter 1 "The End" live event, history will no doubt repeat itself. Given that the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 5 live event is likely called "The Big Bang," it could be an indication that this is the start of something new.

Whatever happens at the end of this phase of the storyline will likely reshape the Metaverse as players know it. Considering the numerous major projects Epic Games has planned and lined up, Chapter 5 is going to be a stepping stone towards the future.
