Fortnite Teases Possible Halloween Event “Fortnitemares”
Halloween is just around the corner, which means a bounty of video games are getting into the spirit of the spookiest holiday of them all. That said, it looks as if Epic Games is doing the same with its mega popular Battle Royale title Fortnite, for which a Halloween-themed event was recently teased.
Taking to twitter like they have so many times over the past year, Epic shared a couple images that depict what can be expected in the “Fortnitemares” event. One picture shows what appears to be a Shadow Stone wrapped in chains, while the other offers a glimpse of a new ghoulish skin that players are sure to snatch up. Check out both of them below, complete with short rhymes to add to the mystery:
Costumes and dancing,
Partner up, be wise.
They could be friendly,
Or a ghoul in disguise. #Fortnitemares pic.twitter.com/vOasjQEj1k— Fortnite (@FortniteGame) October 20, 2018
Tombstones quake,
Keep your finger steady.
The circle will close,
Better be ready. #Fortnitemares pic.twitter.com/ocd2VR1d19— Fortnite (@FortniteGame) October 21, 2018
Naturally, Epic has not release any other information regarding the possibility of a Halloween event coming to Fortnite. Will it just be a handful of skins celebrating the festivities, or will there be a new game mode for all players to enjoy? After all, the developer has been slowly adding decorations throughout the map, so we imagine it wouldn’t be out of the question to expect an actual event. Especially since “Tombstones quake” really implies that zombies are coming. Are the undead inbound?
That said, if Epic is truly turning Fortnitemares into an actual event of sorts, it will likely arrive with the next weekly update. Until then, we’ll just have to keep on guessing. Fortnite is currently available on Mac, PC, PlayStation 4, Switch, Xbox One, Android, and iOS.
