Epic Games is pretty good at keeping things fresh with Fortnite. They do this by continuously adding new stuff to this Battle Royale game through updates. It can be new features, weapons or, most notably, skins. One of the biggest selling points of the game is its crossovers. Unlike many other Battle Royale games, Epic Games has designed Fortnite to be all about snowboarding.

For players who do not care about spending money on the battle pass just for some cosmetics, they have something special: Winterfest. Players can visit a house in which there’s a Christmas tree surrounded by presents. These presents are made available to unlock gradually. And it looks like someone has found everything every present player would get during Winterfest 2023!

Epic Games is bringing Fishstick back, but this time he is dressed as a nutcracker. It is being suggested that players will be able to unlock this skin during the Winterfest. As they enter the cabin and unlock various presents, one of those presents might just contain this skin!

For those unaware of this character, he belongs to an unknown fish reality. And he escaped the loop. The loop is the loop of battle royales that players keep having all the time.

Gingerbread Assault trooper

Indeed, this is an assault trooper skin, but they are now dressed as a gingerbread man. Everyone knows who the assault trooper is. For those new to the game, Assault Trooper was released during the very first season of this game. And they became so popular that Epic started selling them through their store.

This new costume was teased last year. Epic included this skin in a survey for Winterfest last year, and fans were sure they would get this skin for free. But Epic skipped it for some reason. However, now everyone has high hopes of seeing it launch this year.

Guffmas Tree

Now Guffmas Tree has a bit of a history in Fortnite. Last year, this was one of the most anticipated skins of the Winterfest. What could be better than a character dressed as a Christmas tree for a gift? It turns out Epic Games swapped it with Guff dressed as a starry snowflake instead. Now there’s a big reason that everyone thinks this skin is coming; that’s because fans noticed that in the Winterfest cabin, there was a framed picture of Guffmas Tree last year.

It only makes sense that Epic Games was teasing this character for a later date.

The last skin remains a mystery

While fans everywhere have a number of guesses on what to expect from this year’s Winterfest surprise boxes, they are having a hard time deciding what could be the last skin. Some are suggesting that, because all other skins are based on male character models, maybe the last skin would be a female character model.

There are some suggestions as to what it could be. However, the most prominent one seems to be a skin everyone saw a while ago. This was a female character model wearing a polar bear-like hoodie and a rainbow running down its hands.

A brand-new cabin design awaits!

In the last couple of years, Epic Games has been releasing brand new cabin designs for their Winterfest events. It goes without saying that fans will be seeing something similar this year too. There are a bunch of suggestions on this one too. Some say there has been a leak, while others suggest they have heard some rumors, but everyone has a suggestion.

Recently, a social media user revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that Epic Games added a Winterfest prop to the game files. The post showed a pully system holding a gift-wrapped present on it. Then there were some huge treelike decorations, as well as garlands, that were added to its props by the developers.

Now there is no confirmation if Epic Games would actually use them in the game, but they are there for now.

Another more sensible suggestion is that this game would feature a Winterfest 2023 cabin designed after this year’s theme. Yes, chances are this time the cabin will have an OG theme. This means classic designs and classic building interiors might end up making their way to this game.
