Fortnite OG Butterfly live event start timings for all regions

Epic Games has revived one of Fortnite's most iconic things with the OG Butterfly Live Event . It is scheduled for November 8, 2025, and reimagines the Chapter 1 event, with a twist. Essentially, the OG Butterfly Live Event features the corrupted red Kevin the Cube instead of the original purple version.
As part of this event, you will be able to experience dimension-warping effects and reality-bending sequences. This marks the return of the butterfly, and it will transform the Leaky Lake in both OG Battle Royale and Zero Build playlists.
Here are further details about the start time for the OG Butterfly Live Event in Fortnite.

What to expect from the OG Butterfly Live Event in Fortnite
The official OG Butterfly Live Event description reads: "Small wings that create huge ripples across reality. Experience the dimension-warping effects of the Butterfly!" However, Epic Games has kept specifics about the event under wraps, with prominent leakers suggesting that the event will mirror the original Chapter 1 Butterfly experience. There will be significant changes made as a result of the corrupted red Kevin the Cube.
Following the event, the developers will likely apply updates that permanently alter the island in Fortnite to reflect story progression. This was all you needed to know about the OG Butterfly Live Event in Fortnite.
