In what could have been already a fruitful event for all "Fortnite" players, Epic Games canceled the Winter Trials 2021 event after an accidental leak took place, with its website and landing page in-game completely taken down. Gamers were initially joyed with the event's arrival but their optimism was short-lived as it disappeared from the platform immediately.

'Fortnite' Winter Trials: 'Accidental Leaks' Before Website Crashed

While gamers will not be able to enjoy the Winter Trials event as of the moment as participants, they ought to know what could have transpired in the leaked gaming special from "Fortnite." However, canceling this event does not mean that it would not come up anytime soon, as leaks and actual gamers have already experienced a working site for a moment.

According to popular and trusted Fortnite leaker, iFire Monkey (@iFireMonkey), there was a launch of the Winter Trials website from "Fortnite" themselves, allowing interactive voting system and social media shares. The site was said to have "tons of errors" such as having an end date of "31th" (which kind of looks like a typographical error) and have no description on the website.

  The leaker assumed that Epic Games and "Fortnite" were just not ready for the event to launch, but somehow, it came up on the website and gave people an idea of what to expect. A cached version of the now unavailable website shows the voting system for the teams of influencers and daily challenges which are the features of this event.

Voting System for Tomorrow's Daily Challenge

Different challenges are available to do, and this would all be based on player preference and choice on what challenge to do for the day after. After the tally, Fortnite would set the challenge from the top voted. Choices Include:

  • The Mercenary - "Players have to challenge and defeat as many named NPCs as they can"
  • The Bounty Hunter - "Players have to complete as many bounties as they can"
  • The Pacifist - "Players are not allowed to use weapons or damage other players in any way"
