Epic Games surprises players on New Year’s Eve

Happy New Year!

The folks over at Epic Games have a special treat in store for musicians hopping on Fortnite today. In celebration of New Year’s Eve all around the world, Fortnite is having an in-game live occurrence where a massive, declining hop missile descends on the delineate each hour, on the hour.

The virtual projectile lower has the same affect on actors as a boogie projectile, meaning that everyone playing Fortnite is collectively jigging each time the minutes on your clock predict: 00.

Obviously, the clock has already struck midnight and 2019 has officially begun in many parts of the world, but the in-game chunk lower hurled some participates off guard.

Nick Chester, Epic’s PR spokesperson, tweeted this in response 😛 TAGEND

Woke up to learn that countless Fortnite participates are unaware of time zones. We’re an education and international game.

Happy New Year to you if you’re already in 2019! https :// t.co/ CnqzyXfFE5

2018 was a big time for Fortnite. Even beyond the turning of a new year, Epic Games has good reason to celebrate.
