After an age without a big finale, Fortnite developer Epic Games is finally planning an end of season event in Battle Royale. With Chapter 5, Season 3 'Wrecked' concluding at 4am BST UK time on August 16, Epic will move things along with an end of season event this weekend. According to the in-game countdown timer, the Wrecked end of season event has an August 10 release date and a 7pm BST UK start time. While there are no concrete leaks regarding the actual content of the event, the timing is of particular interest, taking place just a few hours before Fortnite will broadcast the upcoming Disney D23 livestream within the game. With exclusive Disney content coming to Fortnite, don't be surprised if the crossover begins during the imminent event. 

News of the livestream was confirmed by Epic Games in a recent blog post: "Celebrate the magic of D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event! This year includes Fortnite/Disney reveals live from the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase, streaming exclusively in Fortnite.

"Jump into Disney Horizons Live from D23 on August 10 to catch new Fortnite reveals presented live from Josh D'Amaro and a few special guests."

According to Epic Games, the Disney Horizons livestream from D23 will be accessible in Fortnite from 3.30am BST on August 11, while the actual show will begin an hour later at 4.30am BST.

Epic Games will reward users who tune into the event, which will be repeated until August 16.

"If you can’t catch the stream live or just want to rewatch, Disney Horizons Live from D23 will be around until August 16, with the presentation on loop," Epic explains.

"To celebrate the announcements, all players who visit the island for 10 minutes will be granted the Peelverine Plush Back Bling plus XP on August 16."

In terms of Disney crossovers, insiders like Shiina and Hypex believe that Disney will have its own item shop page within Fortnite.

There are rumours that Avatar is coming to Fortnite, alongside skins and items from the Kingdom Hearts franchise.

That's on top of a potential Darkwing Duck crossover, as well as skins from the Gargoyles animated series.

The previously leaked X-Men skins will also reportedly be announced during D23, including Cyclops, Jubilee and Colossus.

Of course, with the event taking place ahead of the D23 stream, there's a strong possibility it won't have anything to do with the Disney content.

The countdown timer can be found at the Leviathan Pipeline, so don't be surprised if something explosive happens. 

According to Shiina, Pandora's Box will return as part of the mini live event, so stay tuned for more information.
