The developers have added a live event counter to the game that is expected to go live on Friday. However, gamers can view it in the game at times due to glitches in Fortnite.

The live event counter is anticipated to hover above Corny Complex, so gamers expect the POI to get some wild action at the end of Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7.

The live event is expected to commence on September 4 and 5. It is speculated that this event will mark the end of Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7, and the start of the following one.

It has also been revealed that Epic rolled out an LTM for the upcoming live event. The "Sky Fire" LTM has been added to the game, and players can view it once they log in. However, the mode is disabled and will only be open when the live event kicks off in a few days.

Data miners have come across in-game files that explicitly indicate that one of the most popular POIs in the game will face disastrous consequences pretty soon.

The cryptic file mentions the terms "MistyAftermathTest" and "MistyRemoveTest." This is a strong indication that Misty Meadows will be under threat, and the POI will be removed entirely in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7.

Gamers anticipate that during the upcoming live event, the alien forces will lock horns with the IO and decide the island's fate. However, the absence of leaks regarding the event has resulted in everything being speculation, and it will only be confirmed once it goes live.
