The latest Fortnite live event, titled The Confrontation Event, recently took place and was a fitting culmination of the Demon Hunting efforts that have been a central focus during Season 1. Players who were in a match at just the right time got to witness an epic battle between towering boss Shogun X and magic mask maker Daigo, which is set to have lasting consequences in the battle royale. If you want to find out more about it, then here's what happened during the Fortnite live event in February 2025.
What time is the Fortnite live event
The latest Fortnite live event took place on Saturday February 15 at 12:30pm PST / 3:30pm EST / 8:30pm GMT, following the conclusion on an in-game countdown that appeared on tracking equipment at the top of the mountain south of Warrior's Watch.
What happened during the Fortnite live event?
The build up to the Fortnite live event began with The Spirit Realm section of the Story Quests, where Hope tracked a comet that crashed on the island to the Spirit Realm, before Kendo realized that Daigo was planning to rescue their sister Jade from the Spirit Realm. Then on Monday February 10, Daigo moved to the portal on the mountain south of Warrior's Watch and started meditating while surrounded by six masks of power. Over the following days, the masks of power gradually activated one by one, and on February 13 Hope set up tracking equipment by the portal with a countdown displayed, while a huge energy beam appeared in the sky above.

On Saturday February 15 at 3pm EST a safe zone was activated around the portal area, where weapons were disabled and players could respawn, while the progress of the storm circle was also paused. At 3:30pm EST the Fortnite live event took place, with Daigo fighting and ultimately defeating Shogun X in an airborne duel that lasted just a couple of minutes, freeing Jade from the Spirit Realm and leading to large gold strands emerging from the portal – connected to the return of Midas in Fortnite Season 2 of Chapter 6. As a result of these events, you can now find Jade up on the mountain as one of the Fortnite characters, while The Night Rose at Demon's Dojo is no longer under the control of The Puppeteer so is an NPC rather than a boss to fight.
That's everything that happened during the latest Fortnite live event, and we'll likely need to wait a season or two before the next one is scheduled.
