Fortnite Reveals New Event With Free Cosmetics

Epic Games has officially announced a new event coming to Fortnite on November 19 called Party Up Winter Rush, which will encourage players to link up with friends in a wide variety of game modes to earn XP and free cosmetics. Fortnite is currently preparing to launch Chapter 7 of the popular battle royale, an event that will likely introduce players to a whole new map and fresh gameplay features.

Until Chapter 7 makes its official debut, gamers can enjoy the current collaboration between Fortnite and The Simpsons. Right now, fans can run around a completely cell-shaded map that resembles the art style of the hit television show. The map even features a blend of iconic locations from Fortnite‘s island and the town of Springfield. According to Epic Games, the crossover has been a massive success, as the battle royale has seen its largest influx of new and returning players since 2024’s holiday season. It seems as if the developers may be looking to build upon that momentum with the announcement of the game’s upcoming Winter Rush event.

Fortnite Reveals New Party Up Winter Rush Event

In a recent trailer, Epic Games revealed that Fortnite players will be able to participate in the upcoming Party Up Winter Rush event from November 19 through November 29. From what has been revealed, it seems as if the objective of the event is simple enough. Gamers simply need to log into the game, party up with friends, and earn XP in a wide variety of game modes to earn free cosmetics in Fortnite. According to the trailer, fans will be able to do this in most of Fortnite‘s game modes, such as Delulu, Brick Life, Blitz Royale, Rocket Racing, Festival, Reload, Save the World, and more.

While Epic Games has not released a full list of the rewards on offer in the Party Up Winter Rush event yet, the trailer focuses heavily on an unreleased skin and back bling that appear to put a fresh spin on the Cuddle Team Leader concept. In addition to potentially receiving a free Fortnite skin and back bling, players may be able to claim a fresh harvester that appears to be two pink baseball bats with the Cuddle Team Leader symbol on them. However, it’s possible that some of the cosmetics shown off in the trailer won’t be included in the free rewards.

While many fans have expressed excitement about the upcoming Winter Rush event, a lot of players are already wondering when they’ll find out more information about new features that could be coming to the battle royale soon. Recent leaks have suggested that Chapter 7 of Fortnite may introduce the ability to self-revive and drive reboot vans, though it’s worth taking those rumors with a grain of salt until an official announcement is made. With so much content to enjoy and even more just around the corner, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Fortnite.
