The in-game news bulletin in Fortnite announced overnight the exact time to expect the rocket launch to occur.
Epic Games has been teasing a Fornite event which will end the season with a bang of sorts.
Here’s what the in-game notice read: “Get in-match on Saturday by 10:30am PT / 1:30pm ET / 7:30pm CET and look to the sky. It only happens once!” (thanks, Neowin).
It’s expected the ‘Blast Off’ event will be similar to last season’s, which saw a meteor crash into the game maps, changing it forever.
Since no one is completely sure, it’s best to just be ready and see for yourselves. Just in-match an at the rocket at the correct time or you’ll miss the one-time event.
Muselk pretty much confirmed the timing on Twitter earlier this week, so the timing may be known to some of you already.
So, not only are players getting double xp in Fortnite this weekend, they also get to witness a rocket launch. Sounds fun.
Meanwhile Epic says it is still unable to resolve issues preventing the launch of the Playground LTM .
“We are holding the release until next week to continue hammering away this weekend,” the company said. “We’re sorry we haven’t been able to get you in the LTM, and we know waiting is the worst.”
Players will be updated with additional information on Monday, July 2.
Fortnite Season 5 will start on July 12 .
