Fortnite New Year event leak

Every year, Fortnite hosts a live event. They do a lot more than that, but there is at least one that happens every year, and it happens right at the start of the year (or end of the previous year). In Fortnite, the New Year's Eve event is popular, with gamers staying up late to watch it live.

These events are generally the same from year to year, but they are still a treat and something to anticipate towards the end of the year. This year's event has been revealed early, piquing the interest of Fortnite players.

New Year's Eve event leaked ahead of Fortnite live event

The event isn't scheduled to begin for another ten days, but a fresh leak has shown what it will look like when it does. Sinx6, one of Fortnite's most well-known leakers and content makers, is responsible for the leak. A big ball came through a rift at the top of the world, much like in previous years.

This is most likely the same ball that rings in the New Year in New York City and other cities. It's not the first time anything from the actual world has been brought into Fortnite; in Chapter 1 Season 4, Drift and Golf Carts found their way from the real world to Fortnite.

As the countdown begins, the ball crystalizes and begins to slowly drop. It heralds the start of a new year by counting down from ten to one. The year is 2022 in this example. That's pretty much all there is to the event. Fortnite gamers can almost always look forward to this live event on December 31, which is a minor but consistent part of the year.

On December 31, the event will most likely happen at 12 a.m. local time. The time zones will shift, which will most likely impact the event's timing. Players in other time zones are unlikely to have to watch the event at 10 p.m. or anything similar.
