The end of the year is shaping up to be an exciting time for Fortnite fans, as Chapter 3 was released just over a week ago. With the launch of the new chapter came many new cosmetics, along with numerous changes to the map. While this update looks to keep things fresh for players for a long time to come, Epic Games shows no signs of slowing down. Recently, it added a new event for Fortnite just in time for the holiday season.In a blog post, Epic Games announced that Winterfest has begun in Fortnite. As the name suggests, the event features a winter theme full of holiday content. The event started on Thursday, December 16, at 9 am EST and will run until Thursday, January 6, at 9 am EST. There appears to be many reasons for fans to be excited about the festivities.One of the highlights of the event is the introduction of several new Spider-Man skins. Available in the Item Shop, players can get the Spider-Man suit featured in the movie Spider-Man: No Way Home. One of the highlights of this outfit is that it includes a removable mask, meaning players can see a recreation of Tom Holland’s face. This mask can be put on and removed by using a built-in emote. Fans can also purchase the MJ skin from No Way Home. In addition, a couple of other outfits featuring the Marvel hero are planned to be rotated into the Item Shop during the winter event.[EMBED_TWITTER]https://twitter.com/FortniteGame/status/1471480736851152902[/EMBED_TWITTER]These Spider-Man outfits aren’t the only new cosmetics coming to Winterfest 2021.
