Fortnite: Lantern Fest Event Guide
Fortnite fans can now celebrate Lantern Fest in-game – here’s everything gamers need to know.
Fortnite hosts several events throughout the year so that fans can enjoy and commemorate every important celebration and holiday on their calendar. In February, they released the Guardian Lin skin to celebrate the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Dragon. Now, it is time to cheer for the Lantern Festival.
This guide will tell players everything they need to know about the 2024 Lantern Fest celebrations in Fortnite so that they can make sure they don’t miss out on anything.
Lantern Fest Event Start & End Dates
The Fortnite Lantern Fest event runs from March 10 at 12 PM ET until April 10 at 12 PM ET. So, players who are worried about missing out on the festivities can sit back and relax, as they have a full month to join in on the fun.
Last year, players got to play on the Lantern Fest Tour Creative Island and complete challenges for satisfying rewards. This year there’s a brand-new island to try out. Players can enter the Lantern Fest Oasis map by using island code 5629-9147-3382. Here, they will be able to complete challenges in exchange for experience points.
Note:
More games and challenges will become available on the island, as the Lantern Festival event progresses.
Here are all the Lantern Fest Oasis Island Quests:
- Finish Arena Challenges
- Finish Arcade Challenges
- Find All Four Lanterns
- Finish All Four Riddles
- Prepare the Dining Table
At the moment, Epic Games mentioned if any free goodies will be given to those who participate in the event, so the only reward gamers should expect is some XP, which isn’t all that bad considering many players are trying to unlock the first few pages of the Chapter 5 Season 2 Battle Pass.
Anwar and Noorah Lantern Fest Skins
The previously leaked Anwar and Noorah skins will be making their way into the Item Shop during the Lantern Fest event. The mysterious duo didn’t make their way into the Item Shop when the event launched but they might come around a few times during the month that it is live.
The Radiant Moon set bundle costs 1,800 V-Bucks, and it will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop starting March 14 at 8 PM ET. The Anwar skin includes the Moonlit Blades back bling, and the Noorah skin includes the Lunar Lantern back bling; both skins include detailed LEGO Fortnite style skins.
Gamers can also expect SypherPK to return to the Item Shop. On top of this, SirSANX has created his own locker bundle, and it’ll be making an appearance in the Item Shop during the Lantern Fest.
