Fortnite live event

An impending Fortnite live event featuring Kang and Kodos is set to kick off a new Simpsons mini-season, as what once seemed like a far-fetched idea becomes reality in a new Simpsons Battle Pass leak. The game is about to undergo significant changes, but a full update stands in the way.


Luckily for us, it isn't too far off at this point, reports the Mirror.

Here's what you need to know about the upcoming Chapter 6-closing mini-season.

When is the next Fortnite update?

The upcoming Fortnite update, set to introduce a new Simpsons mini-season, is scheduled to launch at 8.30am PDT / 11.30am EDT / 3.30pm GMT on Saturday, November 1.


The insider @Hypex has revealed when the new live event will start (half an hour before this estimated time, as the live event isn't expected to last much longer than this) before the game bounces back with its new season at 2pm PDT / 5pm EDT / 9pm GMT on the same day.

It's going to be a long downtime, but considering the entire game is getting a makeover, it's not surprising.

However, Fortnite is about to become an exciting place to be shortly after, so get ready to jump in.
