Fortnite “Shattered” Live Event and Chapter 7 Season 3: Timing, Rewards, and the Full Battle Pass

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 is about to go out with a bang. The season-ending “Shattered” live event is set for Friday, June 5, 2026, delivering a massive showdown between The Foundation and the Ice King. This isn’t just a cinematic—it’s a one-time, in-game experience that will directly determine exclusive rewards and launch the island into the next era. After the dust settles, servers go dark for extended maintenance, and Chapter 7 Season 3: “Runners” arrives on Saturday, June 6.

The Storyline: Ice King vs. The Foundation

Shattered is the climactic epilogue to the Chapter 7 Season 2 “Showdown” narrative. The event centers on a final battle between the Ice King and The Foundation .

The team that wins this confrontation will unlock an exclusive cosmetic variant for Battle Pass owners: the Exalted Ice King style or the Foundation Reforged variant . This makes every player’s participation feel personal, as the outcome directly affects a permanent reward in your locker .

Free Rewards: Dark Voyager Cosmetics

Simply attending the event grants you two free items themed after the Dark Voyager .

• Dark Voyager Pickaxe: This is automatically granted to every player who joins the Shattered event playlist, regardless of party size .
• Dark Voyager Sidekick: To claim this companion, you must have at least one friend in your party while playing the event .

Post-Event Maintenance and the Runners Launch

Immediately after the Shattered event concludes on Friday night, Fortnite servers will go offline for extended maintenance. The game will remain down for several hours as Epic prepares the massive update for the next season .

Chapter 7 Season 3: “Runners” is scheduled to go live on Saturday, June 6, 2026, once the server maintenance is complete .

Chapter 7 Season 3 “Runners”: Complete Season Details

The Runners season introduces a fast-paced, movement-heavy theme centered on mechanical suits. The official key art depicts a Sprite piloting a mech, signaling a season of high-tech mobility .

Sprites Return with Customizable Armor

The Sprites from Chapter 7 Season 2 are not just returning, they are evolving. Epic has teased and dataminers have uncovered at least four new elemental or armor variants for Sprites . These entities pilot the mech suits, and the teasers indicate that armor styles and the spirits inside them will be customizable .

The Chapter 7 Season 3 Runners Battle Pass

The Runners Battle Pass will feature 8 new skins and is priced at 800 V-Bucks . Epic has officially revealed the Battle Pass line-up through a single key image and official confirmation, though many character names are still based on datamined information rather than official labels .

John Wick (Pen & Ink Style)

A brand-new cel-shaded version of John Wick is the star of the pass. This “Pen & Ink” style reimagines the iconic character with a bold, noir-comic aesthetic, distinct from previous live-action-based skins. The collaboration also includes his loyal Pitbull as a back bling or sidekick cosmetic .

TheBurntPeanut (Sidekick)

Popular Twitch streamer TheBurntPeanut is not a full skin. Instead, he is joining the Battle Pass as a Sidekick companion, a pet-style cosmetic that represents a new direction for creator collaborations in Fortnite .

Doctor Slone (Remix)

A remixed version of the classic Fortnite character Doctor Slone is included in the pass. This is a return for the character, but with a refreshed design fitting the Runners season .

Full Battle Pass Skin Lineup

Based on official key art, official announcements, and datamined reports, the eight skins in the pass are expected to be :

• Mecha-Sprite (a customizable sprite-in-a-mech suit skin)
• John Wick (Pen & Ink)
• John Wick’s Pitbull (Sidekick)
• TheBurntPeanut (Sidekick)
• Doctor Slone (Remix)
• PJ (Remix)
• Quackling (Remix)
• C3RB3RUS
• Mysterious Femme Fatale

It is important to note that while these skins have been widely reported, Epic has not separately named every single one in an official blog post, so some of the community-generated names remain unconfirmed .
