Epic is celebrating a successful year of Fortnite with an in-game New Year’s Eve event occurring every hour.
When the clock hits a new hour, all players in a Fortnite match will see a giant disco ball rip through a rift in the sky. A countdown starts while music begins to play.
When the countdown reaches zero, a barrage of fireworks are released and every player is forced to boogie down for 10 seconds, no matter if you were in the middle of a fight or just minding your own business. The event concludes with a giant firework of a llama with a promising “2019” underneath.
To accommodate every time zone and their respective turning of the clock to the new year, the short in-game event is scheduled every hour. The last in-game event will likely occur at 3AM PT to coincide with the final time zone.
The in-game event isn’t the only way players are celebrating a full year of Fortnite madness. The 14 Days of Fortnite Challenges are still available with the final challenge going live on January 1.
