A Fortnite chapter 2 season 7 live event countdown timer has appeared on the map.
We’re almost into week 8 in Fortnite chapter 2 season 7. We’ve only had two major updates this season and the last update, v17.20, didn’t have any new content. However, Epic Games announced a new update for today, v17.21.
