Fortnite Season 7 event date and time revealed

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 Mothership

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 has brought the old school feel back to the game, something that has been missing throughout much of Chapter 2. One thing that has been lacking recent is events, with them typically taking place at the end of the season.

We did see an event at the start of Chapter 2 Season 6, but not at the start of Season 7. But, with the new 17.21 update, we finally got confirmation of the Fortnite Season 7 event and when exactly it will be taking place.

Fortnite Season 7 Event Revealed

It has been known for a while that the Mothership that hovers above the Fortnite island will eventually make its way over Coral Castle.

This will lead to the in-game event which should destroy the POI and change the northwest part of the map.

The new 17.21 update has added an in-game timer, which appears both in the lobby and on the map.

We can confirm that the Fortnite Season 7 event will take place on Friday, August 6th at 6:05 pm EST/11:05 pm BST.

It is unusual for the event to take place so late, usually, they happen on Saturday at 7 pm BST, but it seems that Epic Games is shaking things up.

As of right now, we have no leaks or news about what will take place during the event or what will take Coral Castle’s place.

With Season 7 not due to end until September 12th, whatever happens at the event will have an implication on the Fortnite island for many weeks as we head towards the end of the season.

The FNCS tournament is set to start this weekend, meaning that some player’s drop spots and loot rotations could be ruined while the tournament is taking place. Any players that land on the northwest side of the map may have to think of somewhere new to land, which could mean contesting other players.

There is also a possibility that other POIs on the map could be affected too, there has been a rumour for a while that Boney Burbs will turn back into Tilted Towers.
