Celebrate the New Year in Fortnite with Epic Events and Winterfest Fun
Fortnite players can kick off the new year with festive in-game events that bring a sense of celebration and excitement to the virtual world. Whether you’re teaming up with friends in Creative Mode or diving into the action of Battle Royale, Fortnite’s seasonal updates never disappoint. From exciting new content to limited-time events, there’s always something special to enjoy, especially during the holidays.
As 2024 draws to a close, Epic Games is keeping the Fortnite community engaged with the highly anticipated Winterfest event, which started on December 20 and runs through January 7. Even with Epic Games employees on their winter break, Fortnite’s live service ensures that players have plenty to do. While there are no new Story Quests during this period, the Winterfest Quests are packed with activities that keep the festive spirit alive. Plus, the Winterfest Lodge is filled with presents waiting to be unwrapped, making it the perfect time to log in and join the fun.
Celebrate New Year’s Eve in Fortnite: Two Major Events
The new year arrives in Fortnite with not one, but two exciting events on December 31. Whether you’re in Creative Mode or playing Battle Royale, you’re in for a treat as Fortnite ushers in 2024 in style.
1. Creative Mode: Times Square Island
Hop into the Times Square Island to take part in New Year’s Eve mini-games, including a variety of Prop Hunt challenges and interactive quests. As the clock ticks down, you can join in the festivities and watch a virtual fireworks show to ring in the new year. This event will be available all day, giving players plenty of time to enjoy the creative chaos before heading into Battle Royale. Use creator code 7054-0632-3368 to find it!
2. Battle Royale: Watch the Ball Drop
For those in Battle Royale, Fortnite has something special planned. At the start of the New Year’s live event, players who are still alive will be hit with a Boogie Bomb. This forces characters to dance, preventing them from attacking. The best part? No one can shoot at you while you’re distracted by the spectacular fireworks show. As the clock strikes midnight (or the hour of your choice), enjoy the iconic ball drop and fireworks display, all while being free from the usual chaos of combat.
Both of these events run throughout the day, so whether you’re interested in a relaxed experience on Times Square Island or the action-packed Battle Royale mode, there’s something for everyone.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Fortnite in 2025?
The end of 2024 marks an exciting chapter for Fortnite, but 2025 promises to deliver even bigger surprises. While some players may have believed the game had reached its peak in previous years, Fortnite continues to evolve, with massive updates that will change the landscape of the game. From new seasons to fresh gameplay mechanics, 2025 is shaping up to be a year full of surprises for Fortnite fans.
So, whether you’re looking to wrap up your year with some Winterfest fun or kick off 2025 with explosive celebrations, Fortnite is the place to be this holiday season. Don’t miss out on the New Year’s festivities—jump into the action and make the most of these limited-time events before they’re gone!
