Summary
Fortniteplayers can celebrate the start of a new year in-game with their friends in Creative mode or Battle Royale.Fortniteis constantly receiving updates, but some are more exciting than others. Fans tend to be particularly fond of the updates that add seasonal content, allowing them to celebrate their favorite times of the year and events in-game with their friends. Despite Epic Games employees going on winter break in December, as a live service game, the end of the year always tends to be an eventful time inFortnite.
Friday, December 20, the day after the beginning of the Epic Games employee winter break, also marked thestart of the Winterfest event inFortnite. The event will be live until January 7, but employees should be back in-office on January 2. Despite the fact that no Story Quests were released during this period, the developers left fans plenty to do in-game, as there are tons of Winterfest Quests to complete and the lodge is filled with presents that need to be opened.
Of course, there is another major event happening, with the start of the new year. Two New Year’s events are taking place inFortniteon December 31, one in Creative mode and another in Battle Royale. Gamers can hop onto the Times Square Island and play games, such asProp Hunt mini-games, complete quests, and watch a fireworks show. They can also play Battle Royale and watch the ball drop, as well as the fireworks, every hour as soon as the clock’s minute hand reaches zero.

Both events will be live all day, so players can try out the Creative Island and still have time to jump into a match and watch the fireworks. In Battle Royale, when the New Year’s live event starts, every player that’s alive will behit with a Boogie Bomb, which will force their character to dance and prevent them from attacking. This way, opponents can’t shoot those who are distracted watching the show and gamers don’t have to fear being shot at while looking up.
There is no doubt that a lot is in store forFortnitethis upcoming year. While some thought the game had hit its peak in 2023 or even before that, they were certainly proven wrong with themassive changes made toFortnitein 2024.
