What to Expect

The storyline takes us back to Oninoshima, where Jonesy and Hope attempt to repair the Rift Gun using the Zero Shard. Gameplay will unfold across six phases, featuring jetpacks, dirt bikes, capture points, and cinematic transitions. Voice lines from Jonesy and Hope are confirmed, adding narrative depth.


The crossover lineup is wild: Godzilla (Evolved), King Kong, Homer Simpson, Star Wars X-Wings, Dino Megazord, and Kill Bill’s Bride are all teased to appear. Epic has hinted at “extreme dark” vibes and even a possible space sequence, blending scripted cinematics with interactive combat.


After the Event

Servers will go into downtime immediately after Zero Hour to prepare for Chapter 7: Pacific Break. Based on past events, downtime should last around 6–7 hours, while some leakers say just 3-5 hours.


Dataminers like ShiinaBR, HYPEX, and SamLeakss have already shared leaks pointing to a West Coast/USA-themed map with tsunami deploy mechanics, Area 51, casinos, water parks, and Tilted-inspired POIs.
