Some Fortnite Events are those where players walk around and are part of the event itself, while others involve a more visual aspect, such as a movie.

The same Fortnite The leaker also said that the cinematic aspect of this Chapter 5 event will have a “focus” button this time to ensure this Fortnite Players won't miss any of the action. The in-game video player for Fortnite has also reportedly been updated to play videos at 60 FPS rather than 30 FPS. So we'll see what difference this makes in the game when the Chapter 5 cinematic plays.

Of course, another interesting part of this event is that there is a countdown, like other chapter events, but the Chapter 5 event is the first to have a special logo for the countdown. This logo is currently still encrypted. Fortnite Insider Shiina said: “So we don't know what it will look like yet, but it should be revealed at a later date.”

Since Fortnite The event will conclude Chapter 5, we will see what the theme for Chapter 6 is soon after.
