Fortnite routinely holds server wide events that aim to engage its playerbase in a variety of activities. The upcoming Zero Hour event is also one such example, and is set for some time by the end of the week.
There’s a lot of threads to unravel here, along with a ton of lore to unpack as well. This will be a long ride, so strap down and read on to learn more about Epic Games’ ongoing live service, third person shooter behemoth that is Fortnite.
When Does the Zero Hour Event Begin in Fortnite?
The Zero Hour event begins at November 29, 2025 and will be broadcast simultaneously across the entire world, in-game. This is also a server wide event, and will be made accessible via Springfield Town (in the recently added Simpsons collaboration event) and Oninoshima, two in-game locations at Fortnite.
A reckoning is coming. Will you be ready to answer the call?

You can watch the event by logging into Fortnite at 2 PM EST (Eastern Standard Time) on November 29, 2025. There are no special precursory conditions or gotchas for the same, so just log in and lock in.
Interested players will be able to join in approximately 40 minutes ahead of the finale, so make sure to be there at your earliest and book a spot. Fortnite will likely go offline afterward, if only temporarily (for around 4-6 hours).
Make sure to wrap things up before heading to the event, as you will not be able to play the game for a while afterward.
The Zero Hour event is preceded by the ‘Welcome, Our Alien Overlords’ event and is set as a complete conclusion to Chapter 6 and Chapter 6’s Mini Season 2. It’s also referred to as the Chapter Finale event.
The game will likely exhibit upcoming, future content, including the return of the Seven to Fortnite.
What Is the Zero Hour Fortnite Event About?
Fortnite’s Zero Hour is a massive event that is going to be the conclusive storyline for all events released thus far. Expect there to be cinematic spectacle, with the recently introduced playable characters with the current Season making their due appearance.
We should be seeing a bunch of characters across a wide variety of IPs making their appearance here, ranging from the likes of Godzilla, Hatsune Miku and the Power Rangers to the Simpsons and more.
The Seven are most certainly the main attraction during the Zero Hour event in Fortnite, and are almost guaranteed to make their debut this Season, after months of prolonged absence. The question remains though, whether this particular iteration of the Seven are the ones we have come to know and cherish, or their alternate universe selves instead.
So far, there have been two separate versions of the Seven, with the original cast and crew being left (presumably) for dead, and the alternate universe having taken over the mantle. That being said, Epic Games has likely planned more than a few surprises for us here, and the best thing to do now is to wait and see how it all ultimately pans out.
One thing is for certain though, this event is going to be quite major in the grand scheme of Fortnite’s overarching storyline, and we might be privy to a few shocking revelations in due course.
