Fortnite wrapped up Chapter 6 Season 3 with The Super Showdown live event that went live August 2, locking in players worldwide for one of the game’s most cinematic moments to date. As covered by TechRadar, the showdown featured Superman stepping up against what appeared to be a massive, kraken-style enemy at Demon's Domain, with players fighting alongside him.
If you missed it, here is when it will happen in the rest of the places:
US East Coast: 2:00 PM ET
US West Coast: 11:00 AM PT
UK: 7:00 PM BST
Central Europe: 8:00 PM CEST

Access was through the main Fortnite playlist. Epic Games did not host a stream, but most popular creators covered it live on Twitch and YouTube.
Tentacles, electricity, and one massive eye
Leading up to the event, TechRadar notes Epic had only dropped one teaser trailer. It showed Demon's Domain getting wrecked by red and pink electrical surges, followed by the appearance of a glowing red energy field that looked eerily like what players saw in the Fortnite OG rocket event. Then came the eye - massive, menacing, and clearly attached to something with tentacles.
If you guessed kraken, you're not alone. That is exactly where most players landed, and once Superman showed up to take it on, fans got what they were hoping for - a full-scale battle with cinematic flair.
