Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 Live event: Everything known so far

Event Time

Given that Fortnite Season 6 ends on June 8th, the live event may take place either before downtime or after. Despite having a timeline, the exact time is still unknown.

However, going by the timing of the last season, the tentative start time for Fortnite Season 7 could be sometime around 4:00 AM ET. Hopefully, by this weekend, Epic Games will reveal official information about the same.

Countdown

As seen from the numerous leaks, and now on the spooky TVs in-game, the countdown for Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 Live event has officially begun. There are now only four days left till the new season begins.

Given that Fortnite 17.00 and 17.10 are already on staging servers, the transition to the next season should be smooth and free of technical issues.

Coordinates

Lachlan Ross Power, better known as PWR Lachlan, began encountering coordinates during his recent live stream. It turns out that those coordinates are where the DVDs were filmed.

Apart from their geo-locations, not much is known about what these coordinates relate to. Nonetheless, given how Epic Games has been hyping up this season, there could be a possibility that these locations hold some significance to the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 Live event.

Secret Messages

During the same live stream, the word "they're coming" can be seen numerous times alongside the symbols. It would seem that the symbols, earlier discovered, have been created at the corresponding coordinates.

Sadly, at the moment none of it makes much sense. Hopefully, by the end of this weekend, more leaks will help provide a clearer picture of what's going to happen during the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 Live event.
