Fortnite Doomsday Event Gets Name And New Date

Epic Games recently announced that Fortnite’s Chapter 2, Season 2 will end on June 11, and there will be an event a short time before its conclusion to celebrate the launch of Season 3. The event is called The Device, and its details currently remain mostly under wraps.

What Is The Device Event?

The much-rumored “Doomsday Device” that Fortnite players and leakers have been discussing for the past few weeks is at the core of this event, with some speculating that the large orb-shaped device with pipes running everywhere in Midas’s office is The Device. The introduction of the Storm the Agency challenges in the game’s latest update might suggest that Team Shadow may soon usurp Team Ghost in the Agency, which could lead to the device being triggered.

When Does The Device Begin?

The Device kicks off on June 6 at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET, which is about a week past when the doomsday clocks were suggesting in the game. Epic Games says space is limited so you should show up 30 minutes beforehand, and it will only take place once. Presumably this event will coincide with an updated countdown clock reaching zero in order to add some extra tension.

Recently, Epic partnered with OnePlus to get Fortnite running a 90 frames per second on their phones, which is better than consoles like the Nintendo Switch. One thing’s for sure: based on the smash success of April’s Travis Scott event, it’s likely that this Doomsday will be even more ambitious than any we’ve seen before.
