Discover the latest leaks and details about the ongoing Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 live event, a multi-day build-up codenamed “SuperSport” in this article.

Live events are big happenings in Fortnite that happen during a season and connect to the game’s story. Players can’t shoot during events so they can enjoy it. Sometimes build mode is on so you can make structures to see better. This article covers everything that’s currently going on in the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 Live Event.

Based on the recent posts by leakers, the Chapter 5 Season 3 build-up event is surrounding the huge statue at Mount Olympus.

Leaks show the statue raising its right arm, pointing its sword skyward. This triggers lightning strikes around the blade, fitting for the location home to the Greek god NPC Zeus.

The statue’s eyes are also glowing with a giant sandstorm covering the Desert area and the whole island. This matches the Season 2 quests hinting at a disaster with dust and clouded skies.

It seems like the build-up event has just started on May 13th at 10 AM ET and it is happening near the end of Chapter 5 Season 2 like last season.

Leakers found 5 event folders, meaning it will happen in stages across several days:

  • Stage 1 (Days 1-3): The statue goes through 3 stages, eventually moving its sword as lightning strikes.
  • Stage 2 (Day 4): The Pandora Box overloads with lightning, bursting with energy until it explodes.
  • Stage 3: A sandstorm in 3 phases (far, medium, and close to the island) sweeps across the map.

Since the files were decrypted on May 13th, here are the event details by hour so far:
