Will there be anything else aside from Fortnite?
Ninja will be streaming very close to the New York ball drop, with his PC setup overseeing the Times Square celebrations below.
Along with Fortnite, the stream will feature live giveaways along with some promised special guests yet to be announced.
Considering Tylers 2018 has seen him mingle with Drake, Ellen DeGeneres and Jimmy Fallon – its likely therell be high profile guests showing off their skills.
Speaking about the livestream, Ninja said: When I started in gaming, I never thought that something like this would be possible.
NYE has always been fun for gamers because its a night where you have a widely acceptd excuse to stay up and game, but theres never been an event in the mainstream thats actually built around that tradition.
This is just my ultimate NYE Fortnite LAN party with some of my best friends and a few surprises that I hope we as a community can have a lot of fun with.
