Halloween is under a month away and Fortnite is getting geared up for Fortnitemares 2022. The spooky event originally made its horrifying presence known in 2017, featuring in both the battle royale and Save the World game modes.
Each Halloween season, Epic Games adds new Fortnite weapons, cosmetics, and a goodie-bag-filled amount of new features to its famous battle royale.
When does Fortnitemares 2022 start?
Epic has announced that Fortnitemares is coming on Oct. 18 and it will likely start after the downtime ends on that Tuesday, likely around 4am or 5am CT.
Well-known Fortnite leaker HYPEX has released a series of tweets showing sneak peeks at the upcoming Fortnitemares 2022 game change, but this is essentially all the hints anyone can find about the upcoming event.
There has been little to nothing else shared about the title’s spook-themed event. Therefore, fans will have to wait to see what’s lurking around the corner in this year’s edition of Fortnitemares.
The previous Fortnitemares ran from Oct. 5 all the way to Nov. 2 in Fortnite, bringing a bunch of new features and skins for fans to get their hands on.
Last year’s event brought in characters from the Universal Monsters Set, featuring some big names from the horror genre. The 2020 edition of Fortnitemares, however, had a shorter run time, starting on Oct. 21 and finishing on Nov. 3.
What will Fornitemares bring this year?
Fortnitemares usually introduces changes to the island by bringing in new points of interest, characters, and even weapons. There are rumors floating around regarding new playable skins being featured in this event, like Freddy Kruger. Fortnite isn’t shy when introducing scary, horror characters from the last several decades.
Fortnitemares 2021 had some noteworthy skins brought into the title, including the skins created by fans as part of the Concept Royale earlier this year.
With the recent introduction of Predator, it’s safe to say that all the new spooky, horror-themed Fortnite skins in the Fortnitemares 2022 event should definitely impress.
