Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 is right around the corner, but before it begins we still need to take part in the Season 5 event.

We now know when it will be happening, but we also know the length of it too.

Season 5 Event

The Fortnite Season 5 event will be titled “Zero Crisis Finale” and will see Agent Jonesy fight to save the Fortnite island after the Zero Point became unstable.

With The Seven mentioned in a recent teaser, it is expected that the event will have huge implications for the future of the game.

Event Time

It has been confirmed that downtime for the Season 6 update will begin at 12am EST/4am GMT, while the event will take place at 4am EST/8am GMT.

This update is much earlier than we usually see, which could mean we’re in for a very long downtime.

Whether Season 6 goes live straight after the event is unclear, but it shouldn’t be too much longer, then players can jump in and explore all of the changes to the game.

Event Length

By looking at the video on Google, we can see that the Fortnite Season 5 event will last for 3 minutes and 14 seconds, a pretty average time for an event.

We were expecting a much longer cinematic, but it looks like it is going to pack a lot of action and story into a short cinematic trailer.

The Seven

According to recent teasers, it looks like The Seven could be making a return to the game, after having not been seen since Season X.

So far we have seen three members of The Seven in-game, The Visitor, The Scientist, and The Paradigm.

Could we see the next member during Season 6?

Who Are The Seven?

In Season 4 of Fortnite Battle Royale, The Visitor arrived in Dusty Divot via the Meteor as the first member of the Seven introduced to the players. He used the Hop Rocks from the crater and several trucks to modify a movie prop rocket into an actual, functioning rocket, and launched it in the The Blast-Off Event.

In Season X/10, we were introduced to The Scientist, who arrived possibly via the Frozen Meteor. He escaped as soon as The Zero Point paused time, possibly to build the Rift Beacons to bring the rest of The Seven to Chapter 1’s dimension/reality.

According to the Visitor Tapes, The Scientist successfully paused time when he arrived outside of the loop at the exact time of The Zero Point first explosion. After creating the Rift Beacons, The Scientist created the Visitor Tapes as a precaution to help his future Looped version remember The Seven’s plan if he lost his memories like the island’s inhabitants did.

When the time came, The Scientist launched his rocket, synchronized the junction to bring the rest of the seven to his dimension/reality, brought the meteor above The Zero Point with the help of the other six, and finished their plan by causing the meteor to collide with The Zero Point.

The Seven’s plan was to stabilize The Zero Point before it was lost, which would take The Bridge down with it. However, it seems that they miscalculated something, and accidentally caused The Zero Point to become inevitable.

Ever since The End Event, The Seven have not been seen since, and has only been referenced in the Chapter 2 Season 2 cinematic trailer, the Chapter 2 Season 4 login screen, and the Chapter 2 Season 5 story trailer, where John Jones’ boss attempts to remind him to not draw the attention of The Seven.
