Live events are a fan favorite in Fortnite and they have been a special occasion to mark and highlight the features of a new season. But, without a clear confirmation, fans will have to rely on the trailers and teasers to understand what is in store for them in this new season.
Chapter 5 Season 3 brings a sandstorm over the beloved island and spawns the wasteland in the southern region. The trailers tease a lot of new Points of Interests and Named Locations with revamped features.
Can we expect Fortnite to do a live event before the season?

Many fans are speculating and debating if there is the possibility of a new event to start off the season, but, once again, Fortnite has not officially announced or replied to the queries of gamers and streamers.
What to expect if there is a live event before Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3
On the chance that Fortnite does announce a live event, you can expect it to be the gateway to understanding the plot, new weapons, abilities, and the setting of the new season and map. This is usually done through the trailer shown at the start of every new season.
Fortnite has already confirmed that many fan-favorite Named Locations of the past will see a sandy revamp. Snooty Steppes, one of the top landing locations in Fortnite, turns into Sandy Steppes as part of the 'Wrecked' theme for the new chapter.
