When is the final Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 event and how to watch it

The end of the season is not only the time when there are a lot of rumors and theories, but also the time  when everyone is waiting for the even countdown to appear. And it’s finally here – you can see the countdown timer to the final event of Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 next to the cube Convergence and Pleasant Park.

If you launch the game, you can also see the countdown in the main menu.

When will the final Chapter 2 Season 8 event start?

According to the countdown, the final event of Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 will start on December 4, 21:00 UTC (4 PM ET).

“The End” marks the finale of Fortnite Chapter 2. This climatic event takes place on December 4 at 4 PM ET as players take on The Cube Queen in one last stand for the fate of the Island.

If you visit the event, you will get a free loading screen and a wrap.

The event will take place on a weekend, which should be a great option for most people to see the event live.

How to watch the event?

You will only be able to watch the event once, so be sure to do some preparations before it starts.

To watch the event, you need to launch the game 1.5 or 2 hours before the event starts, on December 4, 19:00 – 20:00 UTC. This is necessary to reserve yourself a spot on the server. If you’re late, there’s a chance that the servers will be full, which means that you won’t be able to watch the event.

Half an hour before the event starts, a special game mode called The End will become available, and it’s the game mode that you need to play. There will be a regular match, the game will let you visit the map for the last time, and once the countdown time runs out, the event itself will start.

What will happen during the Chapter 2 Season 8 event?

The contents of the event itself are mostly unknown, but there already are some leaks about it. The thing we know for sure is that Chapter 3 is happening – it’s mentioned in the official quote above.
