Here’s the full Live Event and Final Chapter 6 recap

The massive live event with the end of Chapter 6 “Zero Hour” just went live in Fortnite. If you missed the event, it’s definitely worth watching. This was one of the craziest, most epic Fortnite live events ever.

The event begins with players bouncing between random, short cutscenes with brief character crossover scenes. A giant Homer Simpson. The KPop Demon Hunters. Players become Fall Guys momentarily before being teleported to various concerts with Playboi Carti and Hatsune Miku.

THE Star Wars “Imperial March” plays as you teleport through space alongside some ominous Star Destroyers. Even the Kpop Demon Hunters make an appearance.

Before long, the Big Bad of the event appears: A giant, tentacled monster with fangs and four arms, towering over everything.

The battle that follows is huge. Players are assisted by a series of massive champions. King Kong, Godzilla, Optimus Prime – even that giant Homer Simpson. They are all dwarfed by the monster. Watch the whole thing in the following video:

Fortnite is currently down, although players will be able to load Season 7 later today when the servers come back online.

Chapter 7, Season 1 is titled “Pacific Break” and has a Hollywood / Los Angeles theme. Presumably players will surf matches instead of developing via the Battle Bus. There are also wingsuits that you can fly with that look pretty awesome.

Here’s surfing in action:

Here is the wingsuit gameplay:

Here is the map for Chapter 7, Season 1:

This was definitely one of the best live events Fortnite has run in a long time, although I’ll always have a soft spot for the big rocket event that took place in Season 4 of the first Chapter. The Visitor fired a missile that created a huge rift in the sky above the island. It’s very tame compared to what we participated in today, but there was something magical about the experience. We had simply never seen anything like it.

I don’t play Fortnite as much as I did back then, but there’s no doubt that Epic Games continues to work tirelessly to bring new game mechanics, crossovers, and awesome live events season after season. Zero Hour was certainly no exception.
