Fortnite Chapter 5 just dropped and with it comes a myriad of new features and changes. The first week of December is lined up with several releases like LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival. But after all this, we will also get Winterfest like we do every year. It’s a fan-favorite festive event that brings Christmas vibes to Epic’s popular battle royale. So let’s look at when Winterfest starts in Fortnite.
Fortnite Winterfest 2023 Start Date
We believe that Winterfest 2023 will begin sometime in late December 2023. We’re sure it will start with new Christmas-themed items in the Item Shop. This should go on simultaneously with the release of the new LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival experiences.
Special POI For Winterfest 2023 In Fortnite
This year in Fortnite Winterfest, we should see an addition of a brand new POI on the map. This POI should only be accessible throughout Winterfest and then later be removed from the map. Supposedly, it is a small island with houses on top of blocks of ice.
The Loot Island is also said to feature a makeover during Winterfest 2023 as a variation according to leaks. It will now be an Ice Island with slippery ice and snow everywhere.
Themed Items In Winterfest 2023
Winterfest 2023 in Fortnite should also feature some exclusive themed items such as the Icy Grappler as noted by Wenso on Twitter. It should also feature new Winterfest-themed supply drops that will likely be flying over the new POI mentioned earlier.
That is all you need to know about Winterfest 2023 in Fortnite. If you would like to know more about everything new in Fortnite Chapter 5, you might also be interested in reading about the Fortnite OG Live Event The Big Bang start time and date.
