'Fortnite' New Year's Eve Event 2021: Fireworks...and MORE!

Spoiler Alert: Fortnite is bombarding people with fireworks that are launched in the sky, brightening the game's scheduled night time as New Year's Eve event dawns on every match being played. Yes, users need to be in-game matches to experience, see, and join the celebration with Epic Games to welcome the new year.

However, this leak is not much of a spoiler as it is the same as every year's celebration of a fireworks display and a night of dancing in different locations in the game.

Also, Epic Games would be adding the famous disco ball that will shine the skies where gamers can dance using their emotes (and pickaxe swings), accompanied by music fitting the New Year. A new emote is available in the game's shop, that balloons 2021 up.
