The Fortnite Winterfest 2025 event is almost here. According to leakers, the December festival will feature Harry Potter and a new Hatsune Miku skin. Here is when Winterfest 2025 is likely to take place in the battle royale.
When Is Winterfest 2025 in Fortnite? Release Date Explained
According to infamous dataminer HypeX, Fortnite Winterfest 2025 will start next week sometime between December 15 and December 19th. While we don’t have an exact release date, it’s been confirmed to launch after the 15th. However, based on this information, we might actually be able to narrow down a time window for the Christmas-themed event.
Taking into consideration leaks and previous Winterfest dates, we expect Fortnite Winterfest 2025 to go live between December 16 and December 19th. It’s hard to nail down an exact date because Epic Games has started the event at various times. To give you an example, we will list all previous year dates below:
- Winterfest 2021: Thursday, December 16
- Winterfest 2022: Tuesday, December 13
- Winterfest 2023: Thursday, December 14
- Winterfest 2024: Friday, December 20
- Winterfest 2025: ???
The obvious outlier here is Fortnite Winterfest 2024, which started much later than previous years. Looking over those past dates, though, it seems more likely that we’ll get Winterfest 2025 on a Tuesday or Thursday.
But then again, that is pure speculation at this point. It could even be Friday again, like last year, and be on the 19th. Regardless, we at least have a general time window for when we can expect the event to go live.
