Start Time and Date for Fortnite’s ‘Death Star Sabotage’ Live Event

Oh man, so here’s the deal. “Death Star Sabotage,” the big fancy Fortnite event, is hitting us on Saturday, June 7. Yeah, it’s all about wrapping up this Star Wars-themed mini-surprise in Chapter 6. Feels like they always find a way to mix games and galaxies, right? Anyway, let’s dive in.

So, what do you need to know to not miss it and feel like a total noob? It’s launching at 2 p.m. EDT. That’s when the action kicks in, and trust me, everyone’s gonna be there. I think the event button shows up on the “Discover” section a couple of hours early — like a pre-party. Get in early, and you can mess around flying an X-wing or a TIE fighter. Yeah, you heard that right.

I guess these events are usually what, 20 to 30 minutes? So, set your alarms or whatever, unless you adore being late and missing the good stuff. Now, thinking about what might happen — it’s all about this Galactic Battle, ending with a bang. The Death Star’s got its Superlaser aimed at the Battle Royale Island like some villain twirling their mustache. Expect some cutscenes, maybe a bit of running and gunning, the classic deal.

You go in with a squad, four players max, and just — epic things. It’s the end, so maybe you’ll feel bummed about saying goodbye to all things Star Wars. Or maybe you’re secretly glad endless Darth Vaders and Jar Jar Binks skins are vanishing. Who can tell with these things?

But, hey, next Fortnite season might kick off right after, like Sunday, June 8, if they stick to routine. Just in case you need another virtual world to escape to. Anyway, gear up for a wild ride and may the…well, you know the rest.
