As Fortnite’s current Marvel-themed season approaches its conclusion, fans are gearing up for the highly anticipated Chapter 5 Season 4 live event, which is expected to lead directly into Chapter 5 Season 5. Scheduled to occur on or around November 2, 2024, the event will mark a major in-game moment, continuing Fortnite’s tradition of spectacular season-ending events.
The Event: What We Know So Far
Though official details remain sparse, leaks suggest that this event will be similar in scope to the black hole event that ended Chapter 1. In 2019, this event saw Fortnite’s entire map collapse into a black hole, leaving players in suspense before Chapter 2 began. Leaked files suggest that Chapter 5 Season 4 could end in a similar fashion, involving six phases and a possible world-changing event that will set the stage for the new season
.
This event will likely serve as a climactic finale to the Doctor Doom storyline, which has been central to Chapter 5 Season 4’s Marvel-themed narrative. Players have spent the current season battling through new areas such as Castle Doom and Doomstadt, encountering iconic Marvel characters like War Machine, Mysterio, and Emma Frost. Speculation is rife that the event could feature a showdown with Doctor Doom, concluding the season’s narrative arc

What’s Next? The Return of Fortnite OG
Once Chapter 5 Season 4 ends, Chapter 5 Season 5 is expected to introduce an OG Chapter 2 theme, bringing back beloved locations and elements from Fortnite’s earlier days. This follows last year’s Fortnite OG event, which revived iconic features from Chapter 1, much to the delight of longtime fans
.
While the exact nature of this return remains unclear, leaks suggest that players might see classic Chapter 2 points of interest (POIs) like Steamy Stacks or Salty Springs make a comeback. This season is also expected to be relatively short, running for about a month before the start of Chapter 6, which could introduce another major storyline

How to Prepare
As with previous Fortnite live events, players should be prepared for downtime once the event concludes. This period typically lasts several hours, during which Epic Games will roll out the update for Chapter 5 Season 5. During this time, servers will be offline, and the new season’s content will be added to the game
.
Players should ensure they’ve completed the Season 4 Battle Pass before the event begins to unlock all rewards, as well as stay updated through Fortnite’s official channels for any changes to event timing.
Conclusion
Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 4 live event promises to be another game-changing moment in the battle royale’s history. With speculation of a black hole event and the return of Fortnite OG, fans have plenty to look forward to as Epic Games continues to push the boundaries of in-game storytelling. Be sure to log in before November 2 to witness this spectacular event and prepare for the launch of Chapter 5 Season 5.
