Fortnite fans dreaming of a white Christmas this year think Epic might be readying to grant their wish – if a mysterious new storm cloud on the distant horizon of Battle Royale mode’s map is anything to go by.
Seasonal events aren’t anything new in Fortnite, of course; we’ve only just finished fending off Cube monsters for Halloween, and the summer offered a cavalcade of sunshine frolics, from lifeguard cosmetics to an entire new desert region. Epic even went festive last winter, decorating Fortnite’s map with Christmas trees and fairy-light-festooned bushes.
If Fortnite has taught us anything in 2018, however, it’s that Epic is aiming big, whether that be through its sudden map-rending meteor showers, inter-dimensional crack shenanigans (that even spill out into the real world), or that whole astonishing business with the cube. And fans are hoping that means we’re looking at a full-on winter blow-out this year, with a snow-covered map being one of the most frequent requests.
