Fortnite OG live event: Blast Off launch date and more details

Live events have always been a treat in Fortnite. Recently, the Galactic Battle season saw its horizon with the arrival of Death Star Sabotage live event. Similarly, Fortnite OG is also gearing up for a live-event which is actually going to be referenced from a historic event in the original game, which takes us seven years back.The upcoming live event in Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 4 is going to be called Blast Off, which is launching July 26, 2025. Despite having a confirmed date, we are yet to get the official timings of this event, which will likely begin at 11 AM PDT.

However, the official announcement advised the players to keep an eye on the official social channels of Fortnite. Except the release date and the name, we don’t have any more details regarding the event. But this is what the official description of Blast Off states:“In the aftermath of the meteor, a mysterious figure has been seen around the Island, followed everywhere they go by murmurs of rockets and secret lairs.

As Chapter 1 Season 4 progresses so too will the story of The Visitor — and it all seems to lead back to the rocket launch that changed the Island forever.”Now, what does it mean? This event will actually reenact the first ever event during the original game’s Chapter 1 Season 4 in 2018. This is when everything began as a rocket blasted off into the sky and in turns of events, created Cracks or Sideways Rifts in the sky. These rifts connect several realities together across space and time. That means we are going to see something similar in this upcoming event as well.Read More:
