For months now, Fortnite players have been enjoying Marvel-themed cosmetics and challenges in what has been the game's most in-depth crossover yet. However, Fortnite's Marvel-themed Season 4 is finally coming to an end later today, with Galactus expected to consume the current battle royale map. What exactly is going to happen is unclear, but Fortnite enthusiasts will want to be sure that they tune in to see the spectacle.
The Fortnite Galactus event start time is 1:00pm PT. However, it's likely that there will be a significant number of Fortnite players trying to log in to watch the Galactus event unfold, so those interested should make it a point to log in to the game at least an hour in advance. This should give them a much better chance of actually jumping into the Fortnite Galactus event when it goes live so they won't miss anything.
What exactly is going to happen during the Fortnite Galactus event is unclear, but it is expected to be one of the biggest season-ending events in the battle royale to date. What's also unclear is when Fortnite Season 5 will start, though many expect the new season of the battle royale to kick off on Wednesday, December 2, perhaps following a short period of downtime.
While nothing official about Fortnite Season 5 has been announced by Epic Games, leaks have given fans an idea of what to expect. It's believed that Fortnite Season 5 will be Star Wars-themed, and more specifically, may be directly themed after the popular Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian. Some Mandalorian skins have already leaked for the game, indicating that Fortnite players will even be able to walk around with the adorable Baby Yoda by their side.
One thing that is certain about Fortnite Season 5 is that it will see a big change in the game's monetization plans. While the standard Fortnite Battle Pass is expected to be available, fans will also have the option to sign up for the Fortnite Crew subscription. For $12 a month, the Fortnite Crew subscription will net players exclusive skins, 1,000 V-Bucks each month, and access to the Battle Pass. More casual players may want to just stick to the standard Battle Pass, but it should be an interesting option for hardcore Fortnite players.
Before fans need to worry about Fortnite Season 5 and the changes it will potentially bring, they need to get through the Galactus event first. The Fortnite Galactus event start time is 1:00pm PT, and those that want to secure their spot should try to log in at least an hour or so in advance.
Fortnite is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
