The timer tracks the time until the current season’s finale—the Fortnite Shattered Live Event. This event will wrap up Chapter 7, Season 2. When the timer reaches zero, the battle between teams “Foundation” and “Ice King” will kick off.
Following the event, Fortnite will enter maintenance mode, and Chapter 7, Season 3 will launch the next day.
When Does the Fortnite Shattered Live Event Start?
The event officially begins on Friday, June 5, at 02:00 MSK. According to Epic Games, the “doors” will open at 01:20 MSK so players can queue up and wait for the start. As with past major end-of-season events, a dedicated playlist will be created for Fortnite Shattered—make sure to join it on the day to catch everything.
To avoid potential delays, we suggest logging into Fortnite at least 30 minutes before the event starts. For players in different time zones, here’s a quick reference table:
