Fortnite is hosting one of its signature live events to bring Chapter 6 Season 3 to a close, with Superman and Robin set to play a starring role.
After weeks of superhero-themed action, Chapter 6 Season 3 of Fortnite is drawing to a close, with Season 4 on the horizon. But first, players have another of the game’s groundbreaking live events to look forward to.
Not only will this tie up the story that has been unfolding over the course of the season, but it’ll also give DC heroes Superman and Robin one last chance to shine before the new update rolls around.
So, if you want to take part in the Super Showdown event, here’s everything you need to know.
Fortnite Super Showdown event date & time
The Fortnite Super Showdown event takes place on Saturday, August 2, 2025. The “doors open” time is at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET / 7 PM BST, before it gets underway 30 minutes later at 11.30 AM PT / 2.30 PM ET / 7.30 PM BST.
It hasn’t been confirmed how long it will last, or if it will be repeated again like previous events. So, if you don’t want to miss anything, make sure you’re by your console or PC at this time.
How to play
To take part, all you have to do is join a game of the Super Showdown playlist. At the time of writing, it can’t be found on the main menu, but it will appear shortly before the event goes live, so you can either look for it on the home screen or use the search function.
Some past live events have taken place within regular battle royale matches, meaning players had to be very careful with their timings. But don’t worry, as this is a bigger scripted event, it’s being given its own playlist.
What to expect
Very little is known about what will actually happen during the Chapter 6 Season 3 finale, but it’s all set to go down around Demon’s Domain. The location was shown in a brief teaser for the event, and the final screenshot showed a giant ‘X’ over it on the map.
Leaks have also hinted that a giant tentacled monster resembling a kraken will attack the island. So, if this turns out to be true, expect to team up with Superman and Robin to take the creature down.
