Epic Games has announced the 'Shattered' live event for Fortnite, which will serve as the epilogue for Chapter 7: Season 2. The event is scheduled to take place on June 5 at 7:00 p.m. ET. This announcement comes ahead of a broader return of the game to the Apple App Store in most regions worldwide.
Epic Games confirms the final broadcast for Chapter 7 Season 2 on June 5 at 7 PM ET
The 'Shattered' event marks the first major live broadcast since the 'Collision' event during Chapter 3, which previously caused temporary server disruptions. Epic Games has not yet confirmed how long the final event will last or where it will take place within the Fortnite universe. Players should expect a significant conclusion to the current season chapter.
Fortnite is returning to the Apple App Store in many regions ahead of the June 5 launch date, though Australia remains excluded due to ongoing legal disputes between Epic Games and Apple. The game's availability on iOS platforms has been a central point of contention in this long-running conflict over app store policies and payment competition.
Epic Games stated that it will continue challenging what it describes as anticompetitive App Store practices, including the banning of alternative app stores and restrictions on third-party payments. The company highlighted regulatory momentum in Japan, the European Union, and the United Kingdom, arguing that Apple has evaded enforcement through scare screens, fees, and restrictive requirements. Epic is urging regulators to enforce existing laws to create a fairer mobile ecosystem for developers and consumers.
Insider Gaming reported on the event announcement and the broader App Store return details. The duration and specific in-game location of the 'Shattered' live event remain unconfirmed as of now. Further information about the event's structure and rewards may emerge closer to the June 5 date.
