Fortnite Battle Royale game is all set to dive in the festive season as Christmas & New Year are about to arrive soon. Epic Games will once again bring a live event to the game for the upcoming year 2020. Data miners have leaked the name of the event & it will be called Galileo.

The upcoming live event will take place at Risky Reels. Speaking of Risky Reels, it is one of the popular landing spots for players. In Season 7, Risky Reels was replaced by a block made by the community. The map change was revealed during the Game Awards 2018.

However, Risky Reels returned to the game in Fortnite Chapter 2 along with a huge cinema screen, and now data mined leaks suggest that a live event will take place at Risky Reels.
