Fortnite is gearing up for a spooktacular Halloween update set to go live on October 12 after a 24-hour delay. This update will bring some iconic characters to the battle royale, including Edward Scissorhands, Leatherface, Cruella DeVille, Billy the Puppet from Saw, and even playable chainsaws. The addition of these new elements is sure to make this year’s Halloween event one to remember.
The trailer for Fortnightmares 2024 was recently released by Epic, showcasing some of the exciting new skins, locations, and items that players can expect to see in the game. Some of these characters, like Leatherface and Billy The Puppet, had been previously leaked and teased by Epic, but the appearance of Edward Scissorhands came as a surprise. Fans of the classic Tim Burton film will be thrilled to see this iconic character making an appearance in Fortnite.
One of the most exciting additions to this year’s Halloween update is the playable chainsaws. These melee weapons can also be used as pseudo-vehicles, allowing players to carve into the ground and move around at high speeds. Paired with the new Leatherface skin, these chainsaws are sure to add an extra level of excitement to the game.
In addition to these horror icons, the trailer also revealed three Disney villains making their debut in Fortnite: Cruella DeVille, Captain Hook, and Maleficent. Fans of Disney will be delighted to see these iconic villains brought to life in the battle royale, with Epic doing a fantastic job of translating them into 3D characters.
As a Fortnite enthusiast and lover of all things Halloween, I can’t wait for Fortnightmares 2024 to go live on all platforms. The blend of iconic characters, playable chainsaws, and Disney villains is sure to make this year’s Halloween event one of the best yet. Let’s cross our fingers that there are no more delays and that players can jump into the spooky fun on Saturday.
