When is Winterfest Coming to Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1?
Winterfest has arrived with the Chapter 5 Season 1 update! Starting with the Item Shop, we can start to enjoy the Winterfest celebrations by purchasing festive skins, pickaxes, gliders, emotes, and more!
Aside from the Winterfest items in the Item Shop, the rest of the celebrations will arrive in the next week or so. This should include a lot of what we have seen before from this festive time on the island, including:
- Winterfest Gift Boxes found in chests and as floor loot
- Sgt. Winter riding throughout the island on his sleigh and throwing gifts
- Special Winterfest Quests to unlock extra cosmetics
- Festive lights on bushes and buildings
- and much more!
The Winterfest celebrations truly kick off when the Crackshot Cabin is open and we can see all the gifts wrapped for us, ready to open every day! There will be a whole host of cosmetics to unlock including skins and emotes, usually in festive or icy styles. Perfect for the Winterfest season!
This new chapter has seen such amazing new locations, landmarks, NPCs, and array of weapons, that there is no doubt the festive season will brings yet more excitement. We will of course expect to see the Snowball Launcher and Chiller Grenades but there may be even more in store during Chapter 5 Season 1.
