Last year, players welcomed “The Shape,” a nod to Michael Myers from the Halloween series. This year, speculation suggests a chilling crossover with the Saw franchise. Here’s what we know so far about the Fortnitemares 2024.
As October approaches, Fortnite players are gearing up for the much-awaited annual event: Fortnitemares 2024. This Halloween-themed celebration brings a host of exciting items, treats, and often some intriguing collaborations to Fortnite.
When Does Fortnitemares 2024 Start?
The next Fortnite update is set to roll out on Tuesday, October 1. However, leaks indicate that this update won’t kick off Fortnitemares 2024 just yet. According to reliable source HYPEX, the upcoming update will serve as a “lead-up” to the event. The full Fortnitemares update is expected to arrive between October 11 and 15, with October 15 likely being the starting date.
As always, expect more details to emerge during the week of the update, so stay tuned for precise timing!
What Can Players Expect This Year?
From the leaks, it appears there’s a strong possibility of a Fortnite x Saw collaboration. Billy the Puppet from the Saw films is expected to make an appearance in the Castle Doom point of interest (POI).
Additionally, Fortnite leaker Wensoing suggests that three POIs will be renamed to reflect the Halloween spirit.
While Epic Games has been somewhat tight-lipped about specific details for Fortnitemares 2024, they have issued a call for creators to design themed maps.
These maps should emphasize social play, survival, and escape themes, and selected creations will be featured in a dedicated Fortnitemares 2024 tab.
Classic Halloween items like candy, Witch Brooms, and Pumpkin Launchers will return for the festivities. And for those eager to dive into the spooky season, the new Mrs. Incredible skin is already available.
