In this update, we have added a new ability for survivors, a few important features, and implemented fixes for multiple bugs.

New ability

  • Survivors: Snowballs

    • Get 3 snowballs to throw at the monster to stun them for 5 seconds. Save yourself some time for closing the portal (or anything, depends on you).

    • Available for free until March 1st 2026

Other additions

  • The fog has been replaced with a newer version, being more thick.

  • Improved the flashlight to be more responsive.

  • Added shadows to the flashlights, making them not visible through walls.

  • Added a UI to show how close you are to the monster.

  • Changed the tutorial to not change the text until you complete the intro.

  • The castle is now Christmas-themed, with snow falling from the sky.

  • Made the fog less thick in the pre-game lobby.

  • Added more ambience.

  • Updated the ability selection timer from 20 to 30 seconds for new players to get used to the interface.

  • Moved the coins to be more accessible.

Fixed bugs

  • We have fixed half of the crashing issues when games are full.

  • After continuously testing the task system, we have decided that the issue with some of them missing is now fixed. Please create a thread in the Bug Reports channel if that is not the case.

  • The localization has been updated. Now, all of the text is displayed correctly for each language.

  • Fixed the hidden travel not working as intended.

  • Fixed the minimap having incorrect information.

Known bugs

  • We are not sure if the issue with tasks not being visible is still there. If you encounter it, you can try reinstalling Fortnite to fix it.

  • People are not marked as Disconnected when they leave during the ability selection screen.

  • The game will crash if all players leave during the game-ending screen.

New nameplate

To celebrate Christmas, we have added a new nameplate. To get it, use code WINTERMARES2025 on the Waiting for Players screen or using any laptop across the map. The nameplate will be available in the Nameplates menu during the ability selection phase.

If you are a native speaker and would like to help us by providing correct translations, we would be happy if you created a thread in the Bug Reports channel.
