Fortnite Chapter 3 is drawing to a close much sooner than anyone anticipated as the Fracture live finale event has now been locked in. From when it kicks off to how you can tune in, here’s everything you need to know.
While Fortnite Chapter 3 hasn’t been everyone’s cup of tea, the latest era in Fortnite history is beginning to wind down well ahead of schedule. Although Chapters 1 and 2 both ran for two years each, the third act in Fortnite is set to wrap up just 12 months since it got underway.
Epic Games confirmed as much during the 2022 FNCS Invitational on November 13, revealing the upcoming Fracture event to cap off Chapter 3. This finale is set to mark the occasion with a bang, rolling out an all-new Chapter in the process.
So before it kicks off, be sure to brush up on everything there is to know about Fortnite’s Chapter 3 finale event below, including start times and how to watch.
Fortnite Chapter 3 Finale: Fracture event date & time
The Fracture live finale event will take place in Fortnite on Saturday, December 3 at 1AM PT / 4PM ET / 9PM GMT and it’s expected to last around 40 minutes.
Players should aim to be in the lobby at least 30 minutes prior to this if they want to experience the whole event – although Epic has confirmed you’ll be able to join the event while it’s already in progress.
Remember this is a one-time-only event, so you won’t be able to replay it at a later date.
