If you've ever wondered where to find one of the biggest names in holiday music in Fortnite, look no further—Mariah Carey has arrived in Chapter 6, frozen in a massive block of ice smack in the center of the snowy map. But don’t delay; she’s thawing out fast, and her arrival signals an exciting event on the horizon.
With the Winterfest update bringing a frosty makeover to the island, you’ll notice a thick blanket of snow covering much of the map. At the heart of it all stands a towering block of ice located southwest of Brutal Boxxers. Perched high on a mountain, it’s hard to miss—but landing there early might not be ideal since the area lacks significant loot. Still, for the brave few who brave the cold, a few chests await.
According to leakers, this icy prison holds none other than Mariah Carey herself, slowly thawing out. Her presence hints at a major event planned for the coming weeks, so keep your eyes peeled for what’s next.
Fortnite has always been a hub for big-name collaborations, and this season is no exception. Following last season’s star-studded Remix The Finale event featuring Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Spice, and Juice WRLD, Mariah Carey is back to bring some festive flair to the battlefield.
Expect a mini-event tied to Winterfest, likely happening before December 25th—after all, Carey’s holiday anthems are the perfect soundtrack for the season. Players can look forward to a special Mariah Carey-themed skin in the Item Shop, along with a free “All I Want for Christmas Is You” Emote. Even after the event wraps up, you’ll still have the chance to rock her outfit and spread some holiday cheer.
So, head southwest of Brutal Boxxers and brave the frosty heights to find Mariah Carey while you still can. For more Fortnite tips and tricks this season, check out how to enable and use Simple Edit in Battle Royale.
