After months of waiting, a new season is set to kick off in Fortnite with the long-awaited start of Chapter 7, Season 2, and there are a wealth of discussions around a live event.
Epic Games has regularly utilized Live Events in Fortnite to weave together the narrative, often boasting the largest concurrent player numbers as a result, and every new season and chapter features questions on whether a new live event will take place.
If you’re looking for all the details ahead of Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 and whether there is a live event to tune in to, Insider Gaming has all the details.
Is There a Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 Live Event?
No, Epic Games has not lined up a special live event to mark the start of Chapter 7 Season 2, and downtime will commence without any major fanfare.
Live Events are often saved for big moments, like between Chapters, though they also often appear at the end of Seasons. However, there’s no such big finale to the end of Chapter 7, Season 1.

Instead, Epic Games released a ‘story moment’ on March 14 that ties together the narrative at the end of Season 1 before the start of Season 2, which could become the norm moving forward.
Story Moments haven’t been done in the past, although The Simpsons mini-season last year featured animated shorts tied to the game’s events.
What’s Happened in Fortnite Chapter 7 so Far?
The main headlines at the start of Chapter 7 were the return of The Seven and The Last Reality, both of which had been absent since Chapter 4.
The Season was the third-longest in Fortnite’s history, due to the two-week delay to the start of Season 2. During the Season, several major collabs took place, including South Park.
