Fortnite Season 7 is coming to a close very soon, and Operation: Sky Fire aims to put a bow on what has been many players' favorite season of Fortnite Chapter 2. The alien invasion season played host to a busier-than-usual content pipeline, including the Cosmic Summer event, the Ariana Grande Rift Tour, and the return of Wild Weeks. But now it all comes down to this. Operation: Sky Fire is a go. Here's what you need to know.
Players can jump into the event playlist in a lobby with up to 15 friends to experience it all together, though it's unclear if that means each player shares the experience only with those in their menu lobby or if they will see strangers in the same space, a la the Rift Tour. There will be no replays for this event, unlike some others such as the Zero Point Finale, which remained a playlist for several weeks into Season 6.
Naturally, Epic Games is staying pretty quiet about precisely what this event will entail, but we know from a story perspective this will be the culmination of months of work led by Doctor Slone, the Imagined Order, and you--assuming you've been tackling all those surveillance and sabotage missions for Slone all season long.
The developer-publisher did provide a small teaser for the event, though if you're ultra-sensitive to spoilers, you may want to skip this next bit. According to the team, players will "join a strike team and sneak aboard the Mothership to deliver IO’s final message to the invading Aliens." I'm guessing it won't be "come back soon."
