The Fortnite Galactus event has concluded. If you didn’t get a chance to see it, here’s a full recap and where you can watch the event.

The Fortnite Galactus event took place on December 1, 2020 at 4:10 PM EST. It was the most highly anticipated event yet and had plenty of surprises in store for players.

For weeks, players have been awaiting Galactus’ arrival, and they got just that.

Full Timeline

In the beginning of the event, we were patiently waiting by a countdown timer. In the distance stood a tall, idle Galactus. Shortly after the timer hit 0, Galactus began walking towards us.

The following minute was filled with tension as he slowly walked closer and closer to us. As Galactus approached our position, he let out a powerful groan, prepared an attack, and struck all players off of our flying fortress, and we were sprung into the air, helpless.

For a few seconds, we were left to believe we were immediately brought to our demise by Galactus. Then, out in the distance came a flying, colorful figure – Iron Man himself. Our party cheered with excitement as he offered us a jetpack, bringing us back into the action.

Once we gained our balance in the air via jetpack, we turned around to spot Galactus trying to eat the zero point. It appears all is but over until Iron Man teleports us inside of a battle bus.

Once teleported, we were brought to a first-person perspective inside of a customized battle bus, filled with explosives and modified with lasers.

The plan was simple. Iron Man created billions of Battle Busses, all armed with explosives. Our job was to navigate them to Galactus while fending off waves of drones. Throughout the counter-offense, we were assisted by heroes Wolverine & Thor, before being treated to a final tense shooting sequence to the tune of “Demon Fire” by AC/DC.

Once we closed into the final moments, Iron Man teleported us out of the Battle Bus, and we were left with a scene of the busses piling into Galactus and exploding, apparently defeating him. Soon after, the event cut to a loading screen, and we were brought to a brief scene of Jonesy knocked out in his office.

This scene ended abruptly with a “continued in Season 5” message, then the Fortnite servers disconnected, stating they would return approximately 7 hours after the event at 12 AM EST on December 2.
