It has been a big year for Fortnite with several crossovers, events, and the end of the world. As fans enter another year with the massively popular battle royale, no one knows what will be coming to the game.

The event was similar to the famous ball drop in Time Square with a giant disco ball appearing above the island. It then would descend upon the map, and once it hit a certain level, the game flooded with music, fireworks, and dancing. This celebration continued every hour until every country in the world had their own New Year’s Fortnite celebration.
This year has been massive, and it is good to take a minute and look back on Fortnite’s many adventures. There have been some amazing crossovers with popular movies and shows. John Wick made an appearance as well as characters from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Stranger
Things crept its way into the game, and so many other great events appeared in the game. What started as a fad has become a truly unique game experience with evolving content. As the game changes, fans only get more excited as they jump from cross over to cross over.

Let’s not forget the in-game event where everything disappeared this year for 40 hours. The entire game, social media, website, and tech support got sucked into a black hole and disappeared. The birth of Fortnite Chapter 2 brought massive changes to the game and added an extra push of content in what many are calling a new slate.
It truly has been a big year for this game and its community. With 2020 shining brightly forward and the fireworks firing off in-game, fans are left to wonder where the future of this game will be.
