The season, which has been dominated by a vibrant Simpsons-themed takeover, is set to conclude with a spectacular live event dubbed 'Zero Hour'. This event is not just an ending; it's the pivotal bridge that will transport players directly into the eagerly anticipated Chapter 7.
Zero Hour: A Crossover Spectacle Not to Be Missed

Players can expect to see iconic titans like Godzilla and Kong sharing the battlefield with Giant Homer from The Simpsons and the formidable The Bride.

Your Guide to Joining the Fortnite Zero Hour Event
If you are new to Fortnite's live events, the process is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps to secure your spot in the history-making Zero Hour event:
First, launch Fortnite and go to the Discover tab on the main menu.
From there, you need to locate and select the special Zero Hour Lobby. You can queue up with your squad or go in solo.
Once you are in, the game will place you in a waiting lobby. This is a great time to socialize with other players as everyone anticipates the start. Epic Games creates these dedicated event playlists to ensure a smooth experience separate from the regular Battle Royale modes.
When the Zero Hour event concludes, the transition to Chapter 7 will begin. This process involves significant server downtime. During this period, which typically lasts approximately 3 to 5 hours, matchmaking will be completely disabled. Players will have to wait patiently for the servers to come back online to get their first glimpse of the new chapter.
