Fortnite Chapter 3 brought a plethora of new content for players to explore, including Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Spider-Man as unlockable skins. Vaults have also returned to the Island.

Epic Games will bring players into the holiday spirit with Winterfest 2021. This event features new cosmetic skins, bundles, challenges, and other fun additions for fans to enjoy in the battle royale.

Here’s everything we know about Winterfest 2021.

Fortnite Winterfest 2021 start date

Epic Games have yet to officially confirm the start date of Winterfest 2021, but the event normally begins in Fortnite a few days prior to Christmas. So, we expect it to start around the same time this year.

The event previously began on December 18, 2019, and lasted until January 7, 2020. It will probably last approximately 14 days this year as well, and new challenges might be available every day.

We’ll keep checking for any updates and hopefully, the developers will confirm the official Winterfest 2021 start date soon. Once they, we’ll be sure to let you know.

The leaked strings include:

WinterQuestDetailsScreen
WinterquestPresentScreen
Already Opened
Come back every day to open a unique present!

First Winter event leaks? 😳 I think Epic has added these interesting strings today:

– “WinterQuestDetailsScreen”
– “WinterquestPresentScreen”
– “Already Opened”
– “Come back every day to open a new present!”
– “Not A Present”
– “Save for Last!”

They aren’t used anywhere atm!

Additionally, the data miner also revealed the upcoming Winterfest background for the in-game menu. As you would expect, it’s holiday-themed with a Christmas tree pattern that’s colored red.

“It will most likely be used in some kind of upcoming “Winterfest” tab,” tweeted Shiina. However, it’s worth keeping in mind that these are just leaks at the moment, so take them with a grain of salt.

That covers everything that’s been revealed so far about Winterfest 2021. You can currently go to the Fortnite Item Shop and purchase some cool holiday-themed cosmetics for yourself ahead of the event.

We’ll keep checking for any more developments regarding the fest. Once Epic Games announce some new information, we’ll be sure to update this article.
