Love is… not in the air? With no official Fortnite Valentines Day Event 2025 announced, players are broken-hearted. After all, the Hearts Wild event in 2021 truly made a grand celebration that the game doesn’t seem to bother doing again. What’s in store for the battle royale’s playerbase instead?
What are Valentines Events in Fortnite?
Like the December to January Winterfest or the Halloween Fortnitemares events, Fortnite used to celebrate Valentines too. These seasonal events are annual festivities for special occasions. Usually, there’ll be challenges, skin sets, gifts, and other fun activities for players all throughout.
Fortnite never fails in all their other holiday specials, but somehow, Valentines is getting less love. Some joke that it’s because other players might not have been able to enjoy as much due to having no partners. It then leads to less people participating in the event and challenges.
Notably, Fortnite’s Valentines Day celebrations from 2019 to 2021 were the grandest and most memorable. ‘Share the Love’ in 2019 for example gave free Battle Passes. In 2020, ‘Love and War’ introduced a fun Search and Destroy mode and lots of cosmetic rewards. 2021’s ‘Hearts Wild’ event brought the Cupid’s Crossbow weapon, challenged couples and duos in matches, and gave romance-themed quests to help some characters with love problems.
What’s for Fortnite Valentines 2025?
It’s a bit too late for a Fortnite Valentines Day Event in 2025, seeing as the previous ones start in the first week of February. However, Fortnite always does skin drops during the month of love, and we might be able to expect some themed outfits soon too, according to some leakers.
Landmark Easter Egg
What might be the most exciting Valentines surprise is an Easter Egg in Battle Royale. The January 31 update has given a map landmark character something sweet—a love interest. The Great Turtle that’s hard to locate on the map now spawns alongside its significant other.
Different from it, the new Turtle grows pink trees on its back, perfect for the season of hearts. When you ask Ryuji, he says that the Dark Magic Thorns are now gone and that they’ve found the Great Turtle’s lost love as a bonus.
Fortnite Item Shop Update
As for returning cosmetics, the Fortnite Item Shop has added previous Valentines Day sets for players to grab this 2025. As of February 12, here’s what’s available in the Item Shop:
- Bundles: Tess Bundle, Royale Flush, Hearts of Stone, Wild Hearts
- Outfits: Tess, Pinkie, Lovely, Cuddle King, Graveheart, Queen of Hearts, Love Ranger, Stoneheart, Candyman, Lovethorn
- Weapons: Tricksy Axe, Mace of Hearts, Tat Axe, Cupid’s Daggers, Heart Beater
- Emotes: True Love
- Wraps: Hearts & Bullets, Regal Heart, Roses Are Red
- Gliders: Spikey Jet, Petunia
Conclusion
What do you think of the Fortnite Valentines Day event celebration in February 2025? It seems that it does lack a “something special” element, and only the Great Turtle’s love story has wooed players so far. Many are asking for the return of more Valentines skins and weapons, especially the Cupid’s Crossbow. Players may be justified in feeling that the Fortnite Valentines events are getting more and more lackluster. We can only hope that the developers can bring back the fun and romance in more exciting ways.
