With a major rap star headlining the event, and even more activities to take part in, Fortnite fans won’t want to miss out.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Fortnite Big Bang event.

When is the Fortnite Big Bang event?

The Fortnite Big Bang event will take place on Saturday, December 2, 2023, but it is a global launch so the time will depend on where you live.

Here is what time it starts, depending on your region.

Saturday, December 2:

• 11am PT (Western US)
• 2pm ET (Eastern US)
• 7pm GMT (UK time)
• 8pm CET (Central Europe)

Sunday, December 3:

• 4am JST (Japan time)
• 6am AEDT (Eastern Australia)

The event will open up 30 minutes before, so you have time to jump in and prepare yourself, and there is planned downtime to update servers before this.

Is Eminem entering Fortnite, and how do I get the Marshall Never More skin?

Yes, Eminem will be coming to Fortnite, and not only will the man himself appear, but you can dress as him, too.

Three skins based on the man himself will drop in the item shop on Wednesday, November 29, 2023.

The three outfits are called Rap Boy, Slim Shady, and Marshall Never More.

Those who attend the event will also earn a Big Bang loading screen featuring the star.

When is Eminem’s Fortnite concert?

While Eminem is the headliner for the Fortnite event, it’s still unclear what exactly his role will be.

However, it is likely that just like prior events, this will be a concert that will likely start around the same time that the event does.
