Although the 2024 edition of Fortnitemares has not been officially announced, the recent Fortnite update included a loading screen that seems to be the key art for this year's spooky event. This image reveals six new skins that will be available for purchase in October. The standout skins are collaborations with horror movies: Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Billy the Puppet from Saw.
In addition to these, there are five other previously unrevealed skins. These include a purple version of Guff, a glowing purple remix of Red Knight, a pumpkin-themed remix of Ultima Knight, a witch-inspired Lexa, and a spooky version of Marshmello. Given Epic's recent handling of Icon skins like Ariana Grande and J Balvin, it's likely that the new Marshmello skin will be a separate purchase rather than a new style for the existing one.
Details about this year's Fortnitemares are scarce since no official announcements have been made. Typically, the event involves transforming at least one existing map location into a creepy area and introducing a mythic gameplay item. Leakers suggest it might be an exploding Saw puppet on a tricycle.
The start date of Fortnitemares remains unknown, but a significant clue has emerged. A new countdown on the map indicates a battle royale live event scheduled for Saturday, December 5, at 2pm ET. With four weeks left in the season, this event might be related to Doctor Doom initiating Fortnitemares.
Aside from the skins in the image, two other collaborations have been reported. Shaquille O'Neal will receive a set of Icon skins this week, and it appears that Sally and the Pumpkin King from The Nightmare Before Christmas will also be added. For Fortnite cosmetics collectors, October is shaping up to be an expensive month, but the variety of options is certainly appealing.
