Fortnite's latest live event drew in 10.5 million players to see Godzilla, Hatsune Miku, Homer Simpson, and countless other characters fight a giant squid man

A mysterious ball shoots down the Battle Bus from Fortnite.

Fortnite is at it again with a new escalation of its increasingly ridiculous crossover shenanigans, this time with a season finale event that drew in 10.5 million live in-game participants, according to a post on the official Fortnite X account. The post adds that over 3 million people tuned in for livestreams of the event across various platforms.

The event, Zero Hour, concluded the game's latest chapter with an Avengers: Endgame-esque mass showdown against the Dark Presence, which appears to be a super jacked lovecraftian horror. The real star of the show is the lineup of crossover characters, which included Superman, Iron Man, Godzilla, Hatsune Miku, King Kong, the K-Pop Demon Hunters, Homer Simpson, some Star Wars stuff for good measure, the Power Rangers in Megazord form, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, some random blokes from Squid Game—oh, and some Fortnite characters, too.
