Fortnitemares Event: Spooky Skins and More
Alongside the return of Chapter 2, players can look forward to the annual Fortnitemares event, which is set to bring Halloween-themed content to the island. New skins, events, and challenges are on the way, with teasers already dropping.
One of the highlights is the Lexa Remix skin. This upcoming Fortnitemares skin includes a bundle featuring a back bling, pickaxe, and wrap. Known for her distinctive anime style, Lexa’s remix skin is sure to be a hit.
Additionally, players got their first teaser for Fortnitemares with a spooky message: “Good night sleep tight, hope you don’t have any nightmares.” Expect this Halloween event to be packed with eerie surprises and fun new cosmetics.
Shaquille O’Neal Skin Coming to Fortnite?
One of the more surprising upcoming skins involves NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal. According to leakers, Shaq will soon be making his debut in Fortnite as part of a collaboration event. The skin will come in two styles: the standard Shaq skin, which features chain-glow red styling, and Super Shaq, a basketball-themed superhero variant.
Shaq’s pickaxe, naturally, will be oversized to match his 7-foot frame. One pickaxe will be two-handed, while the other will feature a Hulk fist animation. Seeing Shaq in Fortnite form is bound to be a fun and surreal experience for players.
Doom and Rift Beacons: Fortnite’s New Event Breakdown
The Doom event is another exciting feature coming to Fortnite on October 5th at 2:00 PM EST. The event will include a boss fight against Doom, where players must take on his powerful abilities and destructive attacks. During the event, players will face Doom at least three times, and while he gains the upper hand, map changes will occur across the island.
Expect new points of interest to emerge during this event, with Rift Beacons triggering the appearance of the Pumpkin Biome at locations like Bowers Battleground and Grand Glacier. Doom will cause significant damage to the island, and players should prepare for major shifts in the landscape as the event unfolds.
One particularly exciting aspect is the reveal that Doom’s armor will get damaged during the event, offering players a chance to see him in a weakened state before his eventual victory. Get ready for a cinematic showdown with lasting impacts on the Fortnite map.
Saw Collaboration and Other Collabs
Fortnitemares will also see some thrilling collaborations, including a partnership with the iconic horror franchise Saw. The Saw-themed Fortnite content will feature a Billy skin, which is expected to drop before October 11th. The skin will come with a Boom Billy Mythic, which spawns a Cuddle Team Leader bomb on Billy’s bike, targeting enemies with the iconic line, “Do you want to play a game?” before it explodes.
Additionally, Fortnitemares will feature a Pumpkin King and Sally skin as part of a continuation of the Nightmare Before Christmas collaboration. The Pumpkin King is a variant of the existing Jack Skellington skin, and Sally, a highly requested skin, will finally make her appearance in the game.
Another exciting addition is the upcoming Misto NPC, which introduces a unique gameplay mechanic. Players can offer health to Misto in exchange for items. For example, giving up 20% of your health grants a random weapon, while sacrificing 99% will reboot your entire squad. This high-risk, high-reward mechanic will add a new layer of strategy to the game.
New Fortnite Game Modes Coming Soon
In a surprising twist, Epic Games has announced two new Fortnite game modes. One of the new modes, set to release later this year, is expected to be a fresh twist on Fortnite Reload. Many speculate that this mode could be tied to the Chapter 2 OG island, although this hasn’t been confirmed yet.
Both modes are being created using Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), which will be key in shaping future Fortnite content. Starting in 2025, all future Fortnite seasons will be developed using UEFN, giving creators even more power to build unique experiences within the game.
