Will Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 end with a live event? All leaks so far

The end of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 is almost here, so players are wondering if Season 2 will begin with one of the game’s popular live events. Here’s everything we know about a live event to end Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 had the impossible task of following Season OG, which brought plenty of players back to the game. Despite a few issues that the community has pointed out, the season has been mostly well-received, with Fortnite Festival and LEGO mode proving extremely popular.

Now, as we approach Chapter 5 Season 2, players are looking ahead to how the current era will end, and if Epic Games are planning one of their trademark live events to bring things to a close.

Here’s everything we know so far about a possible live event to end Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 and begin Season 2.

Will Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 start with a live event?

Epic Games haven’t announced a live event to end Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1, but leaks have revealed that they may have something planned.

Fortnite leaker ‘Shiina’ shared a video of an alleged “mini event” set to usher in Chapter 5 Season 2. It features Pandora’s Box appearing on the map, seemingly giving way to the Greek mythology theme expected to take over the island.

‘iFireMonkey’ also discovered files mentioning that earthquakes will start to affect the map in the lead up to the event, which will culminate in a large hand bursting from the ground to grab Pandora’s Box and form a new POI.

The leaker has also clarified that “this isn’t an LTM event” like The Big Bang Bang to end Chapter 4, but it will be “more of a smaller event happening on the BR island.”

This suggests that the event that starts Chapter 5 Season 2 won’t receive its own dedicated playlist, but could instead just take place naturally for anyone playing at that time to watch.

Of course, this is all just speculation based on leaks. We’ll be sure to update this page once we know more about the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 live event.
