Fortnite Galactus Event Starts Tomorrow | Game Rant
Fortnite has seen its fair share of Marvel characters throughout its run, and the Devourer of Worlds, Galactus, will be making his appearance tomorrow. A live event featuring the character will serve as the finale to the Nexus War Event.
Epic Games first released the timetable of the event on November 20th. That date now approaches: Galactus will be coming to the Fortnite Island tomorrow, December 1st at 4 PM EST.
The Fortnite team listed some important details for anyone interested in participating in this event. For starters, players will want to make sure that they have the most current Fortnite update, 14.60, downloaded on whichever platform they wish to enjoy the event on. Secondly, live events such as this can be extremely popular so it is recommended that players log into the game at least an hour before the event begins. Epic also notes that the event playlist will go live approximately 30 minutes before the start of the event.
Additionally, Epic provided details to assist content creators in having the most seamless encounter with Galactus. Players in its Support-A-Creator program will be able to monetize content from the event on YouTube for 90 days. After those 90 days, they will not be met with takedown notices, but they will lose monetization on that content. Creators not in their program will be able to share the event, but will not receive monetization. All players, however, should be aware that replays will not be accessible, so other means of capture will be required to save highlights of the event.
Fortnite is no stranger to Marvel-related content. In the current season, several Marvel characters, such as Storm and Thor, were made playable. Marvel villains have not been left out, though, as Mystique and Dr. Doom were also made available. Not to mention seasons past, where characters like Thanos were introduced. Galactus, however, is certainly a cut above the rest. While he has made his way throughout the Marvel universe, he is largely considered a Fantastic Four villain who goes from planet to planet, sending his heralds like Silver Surfer ahead of him to prepare the planet for his consumption. Taking him down is rarely an easy feat.
That being said, however, it is at this point unclear what exactly the event will entail. While most things associated with Marvel turn to gold, we know from the recent Avengers game that's not always the case. Dataminers have found a skin for Galactus that may indicate he will become playable, but that has yet to be confirmed. One thing is for sure, players won't have to wait much longer to find out Fortnite's next event will bring.
Fortnite is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
