The hype train is rolling and all passengers are ready for a huge live event that is slated to begin oddly in few hours less than 7. The reliable Fortnite leaker, ShiinaBR, announced it in the early morning, and the community went berserk. So, Superman is back. His mythic spawns in every single game. Yeah, you heard it right!

What is this event, really? Well, answers are still a little hazy, but according to responses to Shiina’s tweet, the one is going to be huge. Some gamers are actually going to set their alarms 4 in the morning (AEST, yikes), a few completely forget, and a few stopped just now to realize the Superman mythic had just recently come back for a visit. Lucas Henrique mentioned randomly seeing Superman doing his thing in-game, which if you track leaks, is far from random. HYPEX confirmed that the Superman mythic is back in the game, and it drops in every single match.

Let’s take a step back. So what exactly is a live event? Good question. No details were rumoured by Shiina, but judging from Fortnite’s history, it’s likely going to be mega-glorious. In past instances, meteors have crashed into the map, giant creatures clashed, and bigger creatures then clashed with a black hole where the entire game got sucked into. So yeah, expect way too many steroids!

So some players ask the urgent questions—will there be rewards for showing up? (GhostPoiint wants to know.) And is this going to be in normal Battle Royale mode? (Steve_Willis90 is curious.) And, most importantly… Will ShiinaBR be IN the event? (Now those are real questions, Buds.)

Meanwhile, time zones are wreaking havoc. Dripp is staying up till 4 AM, and then some others are like, “Wait, 1 PM?” (We see you, LHibou8.) Then there’s the poor guy, Wil, who didn’t even bother to install the update. Daniel just called him out on it—they had one job.

The tone of the replies is utter chaos, just the way we’d expect the Fortnite community to be. Some are excitedly awaiting the event (Ahmad Aziz can’t wait), some are confused (will asks, “What live event?”), and others are just here for the vibes (Solid apparently wants to share some morning drinks).

And then there’s the return of the Superman mythic—that’s big. For those who’ve never witnessed this, this was a game-changer when it first dropped. Now it’s back. According to HYPEX, it’s literally spawning in every single match. No hunting anymore; just grabbing and going.

So what’s coming? Well, the event starts imminent, and if history is anything to go by, we’re definitely gonna have our map wrecked with overwhelming enthusiasm. A new POI? Possibly, possibly not. A new collab? Might be. Another black hole? Most probably-not.

One thing for sure; this is how Fortnite keeps its player base intact through spells. Be it setting an alarm, pull an all-nighter, or just casually forget to update the game; it’s going to be a ride.

And if you foolishly miss out? The internet will go abuzz with action-packed clips, in-depth breakdowns, and probably a good number of memes about Superman knocking someone into an alternate dimension.
