Seven years have passed since Fortnite arrived and took the world by storm. That means it's nearly time for the 2024 Fortnite birthday event. Each year, Epic Games hosts a fun in-game celebration with a list of challenges and unlockable cosmetic items. With an appropriate Marvel backdrop, here is everything you need to know about Fortnite's seventh birthday!

Chapter 5 Season 4 is in full swing, with a new Marvel LTM, more superhero items, and more, but today's focus turns to a milestone celebration. Fortnite Battle Royale launched officially on Sept. 26, 2017, which means that, as of the publication of this article, the game's seventh birthday is in four days. However, based on past birthday events, this year's will likely begin on Tuesday, Sept. 24.

Although Epic Games has not confirmed the official start date, hotfixes and updates usually go live on Tuesdays, so this is the most logical time for the event to begin. The 2024 Fortnite birthday celebration will only be available for a limited time.

Once the 2024 birthday event begins, you can expect a questline in honor of Fortnite turning seven with some unlockable cosmetics involved. Based on various leaks, these galaxy-themed items include a Back Bling, Pickaxe, and Spray. Players can unlock them by completing challenges.

From a gameplay perspective, Fortnite leaker iFireMonkey confirmed that Epic Games will add a birthday-based Medallion to the game, automatically deploying balloons when jumping. Additionally, Epic Games will bring back the usual presents, cake slices, Balloons, and Flare Guns to elevate the celebration.

Here is a complete list of the 2024 Fortnite birthday challenges and how to unlock the cosmetics:
