Tuesday, January 15th saw the 7.20 update be implemented for the popular title of Fortnite Battle Royale where many changes were made to the popular video game.

Fortnite Live Event Today

Once the 7.20 update had been finished being implemented for the battle royale title, players began to notice that the iceberg South of Happy Hamlet was taking damage. Beginning with a total amount of five billion health, the iceberg began to lose 15,000 health every second and caused players to begin investigating the new live event that was happening in Fortnite. 

The discovery of the situation led the community to begin attacking the iceberg with their pickaxes in order to see what would happen at the end of the live event today when the ice structure was destroyed. Less than 10 hours later, and the community had successfully destroyed the iceberg in the new live event today and revealed what the iceberg was hiding underneath it.

This mysterious item that was discovered as a result of the live event today for Fortnite turned out to be a bunker door that is similar to the one that has been in the location of Wailing Woods for several seasons of the battle royale game. 

In addition to the iceberg live event that took place today in Fortnite, the community discovered that a mysterious ice sphere has appeared in the sky above Polar Peak. This sphere is emitting a beam of light towards where the infamous Infinity Blade mythic weapon had called home previously and freezes over the screen of whoever runs through it. 

With the iceberg live event and debut of the ice sphere happening today, it remains to be seen exactly what Epic Games has planned for the Fortnite community throughout the rest of Season 7.
