The lanterns are lit, and the celebration has begun. Fortnite Lantern Fest 2025 kicked off on February 28th with a fresh island experience, competitive tournaments, and stylish new cosmetics for the game. Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of Fortnite Lantern Fest 2025!
Fortnite Lantern Fest 2025 Desert vs Sea
The centerpiece of this year’s Lantern Fest is the new Desert vs Sea island. This creative mode puts you on one of two teams, either fighting for sandy terrain or the ocean. When you jump into the action (island code: 7286-4717-1963), you’ll immediately need to pick a side. Don’t worry about being underpowered because both teams can unlock special abilities as matches progress, such as:
- Double HP: Boost your health to a mighty 200 points.
- Double Damage: Turn your weapons into an elimination machine.
- Invisibility: Sneak up on opponents for surprise attacks.
After battling it out in the main arena, head upstairs to test your Fortnite knowledge with Sandstorm Riddles. These brain-teasers will challenge players with questions about the game’s lore, characters, and mechanics. The Desert vs Sea island isn’t going anywhere when Lantern Fest ends, so you can continue enjoying this team-based combat experience long after the celebration.
