Ninja discovers Fortnite Disco Ball glitch \u2013 potentially leaking New Year event Ninja \/ TwitchTop Twitch streamer Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins experienced an odd glitch in Fortnite, showing a disco ball in the sky, which fans believe is a leak of what is to come with a mysterious New Year event. Data miners first leaked details of a potential in-game live event coming for New Year at the end of 2018, when they discovered a disco ball in the game files. Linking this with Ninja\u2019s own New Years event, speculation began as to what Epic Games had up their sleeves for ringing in the bells for the start of 2019.

However, it looks like Epic Games made a slight error when implementing the event, as the Disco Ball can, in fact, be seen in all its glory when players are in replay mode \u2013 and Ninja himself discovered. Suddenly noticing the huge disco ball in the sky, Ninja exclaimed \u201cAre you kidding me? Happy New Year\u2019s dude, what?!\u201d, clearly excited at the prospect. As his duo partner Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop suggests, it appears that there will be some kind of party come New Year\u2019s eve and moving into 2019. Fortnite players on Reddit have been speculating as to what effect the disco ball might have, with one suggesting it may cause everyone to dance on the spot, similar to a \u2018boogie bomb\u2019 (which are throwable disco balls). Previous live events have been more extravagant than this, however, with the \u2018Butterfly\u2019 event taking players into a matrix-like world, playing a cutscene and then dropping them back onto a changed map. Epic Games always have a surprise or two up their sleeve, and although they probably didn\u2019t intend for this glitch to give away part of it, it is helping to build anticipation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
