When is the next Fortnite live event?

The latest Fortnite live event has now taken place, and it was somewhat underwhelming when compared to previous instalments. Rather than a huge set piece or an update to the overall lore, we basically just got a brief teaser video for the upcoming Fortnite Treasure Hunters mini-season, though it did at least confirm the main collaboration that will feature in it. To find out more about what happened, here's what took place during the latest Fortnite live event.

What happened during the Fortnite live event?

Compared to previous Fortnite live events, this latest offering was decidedly low-key, and amounted to little more than a brief teaser for the upcoming Treasure Hunters mini-season. The huge treasure chest that has been materializing on the south coast near to Sunken Shores suddenly stopped glitching, and players who approached it could interact to hear soundbites such as "Patience, treasure hunter," "Surely you didn't expect it to be that easy," and "Tempting, isn’t it?"

Shortly after, the game screen glitched then briefly went black, before the character above appeared to announce "You see my treasure chest. Filled with wonders beyond imagining. Tempting, isn't it? Lucky for you, I know how to share. And you know that I've got exactly what you're looking for. You won't be the only one drawn to these shores. Hope you're ready for reality's greatest treasure hunt."

Within that, a brief tease appeared seemingly showing the Going Merry ship from One Piece emerging from clouds as the Battle Bus, which was confirmed shortly after in the post above from the official Fortnite account. Then, players simply dropped back into the map and their match continued. Hopefully the next Fortnite live event will be more impress, which is likely as it should be introducing the brand new Chapter 8!
