Players have a number ofexpectations for what Epic Games will includein the next update, although little has been announced outside of a major performance boost enhancing the base game.
Given the timing of the patch’s launch, some players have begun speculating thatFortnite15.10 might be bringing the Winterfest event back as well, but there have been no official statements from Epic Games to support this.

According to Epic Games, the update will be launching on December 15th at 1 am PST/4 am EST/9 am GMT, meaning that for many players it will either be cutting through a late-night play session or be available before they log in on Tuesday. Additionally, the incoming patch will be a 23 GB download, meaning that players are in for a substantial installation when the update goes live. The size of the download is one of the reasons players are speculating that recentrumors of Winterfest returning toFortnitecould be coming with this update, especially giving the timing in the middle of the month.
Since the only thing that has been announced is aperformance upgrade forFortnite, players may want to temper their expectations to be prepared that the update won’t be bringing any new events. Considering the size of the game itself and the size of the download, it’s likely that the new high resolution textures could be making up the bulk of the 23 GB update. On that note, for players who would prefer to opt out of the high resolution performance increase, it is possible to leave the 14 GB texture pack out of the download to save space.
Whether or not the 15.10 update brings Winterfest, it doesn’t mean that there won’t be ahost of secrets coming toFortnitefor players to discover after launch. Looking at Epic Games' history with the battle royale title, every time the developer adds any amount of data to the game it always comes with new Easter Eggs and secrets. So, players may want to be on the lookout once they downloadFortnite15.10 as digging through these little developer hints embedded into the world has become a secondary reason to keep signing in.
