Apart from the name "Wintervestigation" being attached to Fortnite Winterfest 2024, details about the event are limited. However, HYPEX confirmed in a post that ice skates would be coming to the game. This would be a first for the game, which is surprising, but seeing this version of mobility in Fortnite will be interesting.
HYPEX's latest report indicates that players can unlock free skins and other cosmetics when the event begins on Dec. 18. One such skin could be a holiday-themed Guff skin, and there very well could be a snowy update to the Chapter 6 map.
Fortnite's official social media accounts have since confirmed that the beloved Winterfest Cozy Cabin will return for the 2024 event. That means you can expect to head inside and unwrap presents to give yourself a festive holiday loadout.
We will update this article with additional details as we receive them, so check back here for the latest. Until then, there's plenty to enjoy in Fortnite Chapter 6, from a new map to weapons and much more.
