Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 is close to wrapping up, and you only have a short time left before Season 3 begins. Epic Games has confirmed the “Shattered” live event for June 5, setting the stage for the transition into the next season.
You can expect this event to connect the current storyline to Chapter 7 Season 3 and answer key questions before the new season launches. Knowing when it starts and how to join will help you take part as it happens.

How can you tune in to the Fortnite Shattered live event?
Plan to log in well before the 7:00 p.m. ET start time. High player traffic can slow matchmaking or cause login issues, so launch Fortnite early and stay in-game before 6:20 p.m. ET, when access to the event opens.
Follow these steps to join:
- Open Fortnite and stay logged in ahead of time
- Go to the Discover tab
- Select the Shattered event playlist
- Queue up as you would for any standard mode
Once inside the event playlist, remain in the session and wait for the clock to reach 7:00 p.m. ET. The experience begins automatically at the scheduled time.
What Happens During the Shattered Live Event?
You will witness the final clash between The Foundation and The Ice King, a conflict that has shaped the entire season. Your earlier faction choice may influence how certain moments unfold, as both sides bring their allies into a large-scale confrontation.
Expect key characters, including Jonesy and other loyalists, to take part in direct combat sequences. The event will likely focus on resolving the power struggle that has driven recent in-game battles and challenges.
Because Epic Games has shared very few details about Chapter 7 Season 3, specific twists remain unclear. The live event should transition directly into the new season, potentially altering the island and its storyline.
Before the event begins:
- Log in early on your preferred platform
- Join the event playlist once it opens
- Be ready before 7:00 p.m. ET on June 5
