Get ready for the Fortnite Super Showdown live event, which takes place on Aug. 2 as the game prepares for Chapter 6 Season 4!
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 is rapidly winding down. Only a few days remain before Epic Games will shift to a reported bug invasion-themed season. The upcoming Super Showdown live event will feature Superman as the game transitions players from Season 3 to Season 4.
This article outlines everything you need to know about Fortnite's next cinematic live event, including when it will occur and what you can expect.
The Super Showdown event goes live on Aug. 2
Fortnite Super Showdown live event begins in
Fortnite's Super Showdown event begins promptly at 2:30 p.m. ET on Aug. 2. As always, Epic Games and most players who attend these events will strongly advise loading into the game early. The sheer volume of players can sometimes overload the servers and prevent you from queuing for the experience.
The doors open for the event at 2:00 p.m., but you may want to load into the game earlier to secure your spot. Once you are in the Fortnite lobby, you must wait for the Super Showdown live event game mode to appear, and then you can queue in and wait for the festivities to begin.

What to expect in the Chapter 6 Season 3 event
While the event is still mostly a mystery, Epic Games debuted a teaser trailer at San Diego Comic-Con 2025. In it, we can see some severe destruction taking place over the Demon's Domain point of interest (POI). Sure enough, we have since received intel that this location will be a shell of its former self.
Epic Games has confirmed that Demon's Domain will remain the same from a loot perspective. Additionally, the Daigo non-player character (NPC) will spawn under the main building following the event.
Lastly, it's worth noting that a Kraken eye appears in the Super Showdown event trailer. How that will factor into the story remains unknown, but the remainder of the season from Aug. 2 to Aug. 7 should be interesting as Fortnite prepares for Chapter 6 Season 4.
