In Fortnite , a live event started again today on December 31, 2019, for New Year’s Eve. We tell you what is happening and what time you can experience the New Year’s event for 2020.
What kind of event is happening today? Fortnite is celebrating New Year’s Eve today with a small event in the game. This is the same event that took place during the New Year in Fortnite in 2019.
Every full hour, a 10-second countdown occurs, which is announced loudly in the game. After that, a gigantic disco ball will be dropped over the world, there is a brief peace, and everyone dances.

To celebrate the day, Epic Games has also released “Boogie Bombs” in Fortnite today from the vault.
