Fortnite Ice Storm Event Kicks Off, Brings New Challenges

The Fortnite Ice Storm event has now begun. This event has been on the cards ever since Epic Games released the 7.20 update for Fortnite, as a mysterious ball of ice was seen hovering around Polar Peak in the game. The orb has now opened, the Ice King has appeared from within, and the Ice Storm event has officially begun. The Fortnite Ice Storm event heralds the onset of new challenges for players, with the promise of cool rewards if you manage to complete them all. Fortnite leakers have captured a video of the event's beginning and you can check it out below.

There are 13 Ice Storm challenges in Fortnite in all and not all of these have been unlocked at the moment. This game mode introduces a new enemy called Ice Fiend, which may remind some people of zombies. One of the challenges is to destroy 250 Ice Fiends. A quick search on social media will easily reveal screenshots of the Ice Storm challenges in Fortnite.
