In a new blog post<\/a>, Epic Games announced they were extending Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 by one week, with Season 3 now launching on Thursday 11th June. <\/p>\n

This means the upcoming Doomsday live event, now officially called The Device, has been pushed back a week to Saturday 6th June at 2pm ET\/7pm BST. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The event was originally scheduled to take place Saturday 30th May, after a countdown timer began on the in-game menu showing Midas with a mysterious device. <\/p>\n

Much like the Travis Scott event<\/a>, players are encouraged to turn up 30 minutes before the event time to secure a place. <\/p>\n

Dataminers have already unearthed what’s possibly in store for The Device event<\/a>, with all signs pointing towards a storm disaster flooding the map. <\/p>\n

It’s expected to be the biggest overhaul to the map since last year’s black hole event, which initially started the transition to Chapter 2. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When does Fortnite’s The Device event start? <\/h2>\n

The event takes place on Saturday 6th June at the below times across different regions. <\/p>\n

    \n
  • New York (east coast America) – 2pm ET<\/li>\n
  • Los Angeles (west coast America) – 11am PT<\/li>\n
  • UK – 7pm BST<\/li>\n
  • Europe – 8pm CEST<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
