With the introduction of mysterious hints, sirens from the villain lair and countdowns by Epic Games into Fortnite Battle Royale, the community has been widely speculating when the Fortnite rocket would launch and what effects it may have on the map of Fortnite.
The question regarding when the Fortnite rocket would launch has finally been answered, as Epic Games has posted a new in-game news feature that has revealed that the Fortnite rocket will launch on Saturday, June 30th at 10:30 AM PST/ 1:30 PM EST and 7:30 CET.
The official description of the event can be found below.

"Blast Off!
Get in-match on Saturday by 10:30am PT / 1:30pm ET / 7:30pm CET and look to the sky. It only happens once!"
The message has likely sent many members of the community searching for when the weapon will launch in their respective time zones, as the message stating that the launch will only happen once has players making sure they ready and will not miss the monumental Season 4 event.
Season 4's theme of heroes and super villains has led many to believe that the Visitor character skin and the Omega skin character will be launching the rocket in order to cause mass destruction in the world of the battle royale title and the hero skins from Season 4 will be doing their best to stop the two villains from executing the launch of the weapon.
However, at the time of this writing, there is no confirmed information regarding what exactly will happen when the Fortnite rocket blast off. However, with the beginning of Season 4 being marked by a meteor hitting the map of Epic Games' popular battle royale game and making massive alterations to the landscape, it will not be surprising to see the rocket do the same in preparation for Season 5.
