Fortnite Rift Tour event countdown: What is coming at the end of the Season 7 timer? Epic GamesA mysterious new countdown timer has appeared in the lobby of Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7, but what does it mean? Well, we finally have an answer: It\u2019s the Rift Tour! On July 27, Epic Games shipped a mini update known as v17.21. Usually, these updates are just hotfixes that add small features to the game, but players had to endure some downtime for this one, which seemed suspicious: Something big was in the works. Well, it turns out that \u2018something\u2019 is an ominous countdown that\u2019s appeared in the Fortnite lobby. Many players have been left speculating what it means, and now we finally know that it\u2019s leading up to a live event called the Rift Tour. Here\u2019s everything we know about the Fortnite Season 7 countdown so far, including that long-rumored Ariana Grande concert and what could happen during the Rift Tour event. What is the Fortnite Season 7 countdown for? We now know that the countdown in Fortnite is leading up to the Rift Tour. This is the first live event that\u2019s taken place in the game in months, so there\u2019s plenty of hype and more than a few theories about what could happen. Our biggest guess right now is that there will be a full-scale alien invasion during the event. So far in Season 7, players have had to deal with UFOs, alien parasites, and Mothership abductions. Now, things could be about to heat up even more. It\u2019s been teased for a while that Coral Castle will be the first major location to be destroyed by the alien invaders in Fortnite Season 7, but it seems there could there actually be some widespread destruction across the whole map on the way. These POIs got updated to be abducted in chunks: \u2013 Slurpy Swamps \u2013 Coral Castle \u2013 Corny Complex\u2014 HYPEX (@HYPEX) July 27, 2021 Several reliable leakers including HYPEX have revealed that POIs including Slurpy Swamp, Coral Castle, and Corny Complex are all set to be \u201cabducted in chunks\u201d in the near future. Could this all happen during the Rift Tour? Seems likely. Is an Ariana Grande concert happening in Fortnite? One of the biggest rumors from the world of Fortnite over the past few months is that a virtual Ariana Grande concert is set to take place in the game. Epic have now confirmed that this will indeed happen! The pop superstar will appear as the musical guest during the Rift Tour, where she\u2019ll perform songs as players take part in an interactive event. She\u2019s also getting a skin with two different styles and matching cosmetics. It\u2019s also worth pointing out that Travis Scott debuted a brand new song during his Fortnite concert. Could Ariana do the same? We\u2019re keeping our fingers crossed. Could Superman appear in the Rift Tour? It was revealed at the start of Fortnite Season 7 that DC Comics icon Superman will eventually appear in the Battle Pass, and an in-game countdown has teased that it will happen on Thursday, August 12, 2021. Considering this is just a few days after the Rift Tour, it\u2019s not entirely unreasonable to speculate that the Man of Steel could make an appearance during the event. Perhaps he\u2019s got something to do with the alien invaders? When does the Fortnite Season 7 countdown end? The countdown timer in the Fortnite lobby is currently scheduled to expire on Friday, August 6, at 3PM PST \/ 6PM EST \/ 11PM BST. This means that the first Rift Tour event will kick off then. There\u2019s every chance that Epic could delay this end date, of course, but they\u2019ve got plenty of time to make sure the event runs smoothly and to plan, so we\u2019re expecting this countdown to stay on track. We\u2019ll keep this article updated when new information emerges, so check back soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
