Fortnite dates The Big Bang live event, as leaks suggest a huge music star will appear

Fortnite has put a date on its next big live event – its first for a full year – now formally named as The Big Bang.

While that next big in-game update will come directly after The Big Bang, Epic Games has also said there will be no age gating on any cosmetic for that event, too.

The Big Bang will take place live within Fortnite on Saturday 2nd December at 7pm UK time (that’s 2pm Eastern, or 11am Pacific), with online leaks suggesting a huge music star will be making a surprise in-game appearance.
