Fortnite live event sees 5.6m players defeat Doctor Doom in hour-long battle

Fortnite's recent live event culminated with an epic showdown against Marvel's Doctor Doom, drawing in 5.6 million players concurrently. This event marked the highest player turnout since last December's Big Bang, showcasing community collaboration to conquer the villain.

Players engaged in several matches over an hour to deplete Doom's hefty health bar, as the villain's armor slowly sustained damage from Pandora's Box. Hope, the heroine of the current season, delivered the decisive strike that cracked Doom's mask with Captain America's shield.

The battle concluded with Doctor Doom being rifted out of the game world, leaving behind a cracked mask as a testament to the victory. This event set the stage for exciting future developments, with Fortnite hinting at its upcoming Fortnitemares and potential map changes before the season ends on November 2nd.
