Epic Games have officially announced the Fortnite Winterfest Christmas event.
In the v11.30 Fortnite update, dataminers leaked the upcoming Christmas event. This year, the event will be called Winterfest instead of 14 days of Fortnite, which we had for Christmas last year.
The challenges, rewards, and other features including the daily item and weapon unvaulting, old LTM’s returning each day and more. Yesterday, dataminers leaked the animated lobby screen along with the free presents game feature for Winterfest.
Epic have now officially announced the Winterfest in a blog post today.

‘Tis the freez-on!
Welcome to Winterfest. Throughout the holiday season, we’re getting festive with free gifts, new Challenges, and more.
WINTERFEST PRESENTS… PRESENTS
