The next Fortnite live event has already been confirmed, arriving hot on the heels of the Remix: The Prelude event that kicked off Chapter 2: Remix. In keeping with the general rap music theme running through the current season, the Remix: The Finale event will honor the legacy of the late Juice WRLD and his love for Fortnite, featuring a timed exclusive outfit awarded to everyone who attends and music from the rapper himself. For all of the latest information, here's what you need to know about when the Fortnite live event is due to start and what it's likely to involve.

What time is the Fortnite live event

The next Fortnite live event is due to take place on Friday November 30 at 11am PST / 2pm EST / 7pm GMT, according to the official announcement. As we get closer to this point, it's likely that countdown timers will appear on the lobby screen and in the game itself to confirm this.

Not much else is know about the next Fortnite live event at this stage, though it has been confirmed that all players who log in between November 30 at 1am EST and December 1 at 1am EST (10pm PST / 6am GMT) will receive the cel-shaded Slayer Juice WRLD Outfit for free. A brief teaser clip at the end of the Chapter 2 Remix Trailer shows Juice WRLD stood on a beach looking out to sea, and as the last of the Fortnite rappers to be added we have the clue "It’s not a lucid dream. Draw your eye to the setting sun at the WRLD Point landmark" for where they might appear on the island.

If you look closely at the key art for Chapter 2: Remix, you'll also notice the number 999 written in the clouds at the top right corner of the image. This number is closely associated with Juice WRLD, who had it tattooed and said in an interview that 999 meant "taking whatever ill, whatever bad situation, whatever struggle you’re going through and turning it into something positive to push yourself forward". The location of this above Steamy Stacks could also mean the beach seen in that teaser is at the northeast corner of the island, though we'll have to wait until Week 4 starting November 21 for confirmation of where the WRLD Point POI will appear.

That's all we know for now about the next live event in Fortnite, which will take us through the conclusion of Chapter 2: Remix so we can emerge into Fortnite Chapter 6, and see some no doubt significant changes on the other side of the downtime when December 1 rolls around.
