Epic Games will conclude 2025 with a big Fortnite update. The update will bring a new event, gameplay changes, a new game mode, and lots of other content that players look forward to.
While all of this sounds exciting, one of the best things about the upcoming event is the new-look map. Even though the Chapter 7 island was released just a few weeks ago, it will receive a major overhaul during Winterfest, as the early Fortnite patch notes indicate. Epic has already revealed the map changes, so let’s take a look at what’s waiting for us.
The Fortnite map will get big changes with the Winterfest event
The next Fortnite update is set to come out on Thursday, December 18. The update will bring the Winterfest event, which is one of the most exciting periods of the year. This will also be the last update of 2025, and Epic will go on a winter break right after.
The Winterfest 2025 event will bring a major map change. Once again, the Fortnite creator will bring snow to the island. This time, the northern part of the island will be covered by snow, with the exception of Wonkeeland.
Right now, the only place with the snow is the storm station located northeast of Wonkeeland. However, the next update will extend the biome all the way down to Fun Factory, nearly reaching Sus Studios. The revealed map even shows a frozen lake at Paws Inn.
The update will bring a couple of free Winterfest skins, which will be a great addition to every locker. However, if you want to get even more cosmetics, you can get a fantastic deal for only $1, as it includes 17 skins, 2,500 V-Bucks, and many other cosmetics.
