Fortnite Battle Royale started dropping people onto its island since 2017, and has been going strong ever since. Various major content updates have routinely pushed the game further, which has attracted a ton of players since being released.
In its nine seasons so far, players have been able to unlock libraries of different skins, emojis, as well as music packs, and the they now have the chance to pick up even more exclusive content as the challenges are now live.
In a July 23 announcement, the Fortnite team detailed what will be coming to the game as players will surely be expecting Epic Games to go all out for the second anniversary of the popular battle royale.
“Time flies when you’re having fun, two years in fact. The Fortnite Birthday Celebration kicks off this week starting Thursday, July 25 and runs until Wednesday, July 31,” Epic Games said. “We’re celebrating all over the Battle Royale map with present supply drops, birthday cakes and a gift item you’ll be able to toss to your squad.”
To celebrate their “Birthday Bash” the devs have made some adjustments to the Battle Bus, incorporating “a music track and be thematically skinned” for the game’s event. Expect to see a lot of balloons and a whole lot of cake in Fortnite for a limited time.
Additionally, the players can unlock a brand new Pickaxe, Wrap and other cosmetics that were previously leaked before it officially kicked off.
