According to leakers, the event might end with a black hole. This is a reference to the first “The End” event, which introduced players to Chapter 2. The black hole lasted for 36 hours, which is the longest downtime in the history of the video game. While the next downtime won’t be that long, we expect servers to be down for at least 10 hours.

The event begins at 5:30 PM in the Central time zone and at 6:30 PM in ET.
