What Will Happen During the Ice Storm Event in Fortnite OG?
The Ice Storm Event will see the arrival of the Ice King on the Fortnite island, whom players can already spot above Polar Peak ahead of the live event on February 15. The Ice King will cover the Fortnite OG island in snow, which should last a total of 10 days. During this time, playlists should be replaced with the Ice Storm LTM, which brings back Ice Fiends and other Ice Legion enemies, giving players an extra challenge to take on in addition to other players.
Additional quests and challenges are likely to appear during the event. The Ice King Remix outfit should also be released at some point during the event. However, it's likely that the outfit itself will arrive in the Item Shop and will not be a free reward or a part of the next Fortnite OG Pass.
