There are typically summer events around this time of year in Fortnite and the latest one is the Summer Splash one. Interestingly, this is the event for the season, rather than something like a celebration of the anniversary for the battle royale game and so on.
Summer is just getting started with the Fortnite Summer Splash ?

Epic Games has announced that the following classic modes will be back this summer: Catch!, Close Encounters, Fog of War (originally known as Sneaky Silencers), and Unvaulted. The modes will feature some changes, in order to match the summer theme, but further details have yet to be revealed. A future update will also add a new version of Operation: Knockout, a “reel ‘em in royale, and a game of elimination-powered upgrades.” Last but not least, the game’s Summer Drift and Beach Bomber skins have also returned, and will be available in the Item Shop.
Coupled with the recent changes to the game, it seems that Fortnite fans will have a lot of ways to enjoy the game over the summer months! The game’s water theme came about as a result of the Doomsday Device Event, in which The Agency was destroyed by Midas, and a giant wall of water temporarily surrounded the game’s map. Eventually, that water came crashing down, flooding parts of the map.
