Epic have officially announced the start of Operation Snowdown 2020 in Fortnite, formerly known as Winterfest.
There are many events that take place in Fortnite and some of these events take place during different holidays. In the past, Epic have released an event called Winterfest, which of course takes place around Christmas time. In this event, different LTMs (Limited Time Modes) are added to the playlist and there are also challenges released, which upon completion gives players free rewards.
This year, this event is called Operation Snowdown instead of Winterfest, and Epic have officially announced what this event will include. You can read more about this event below.
