Whereas the 2024 iteration of Fortnitemares hasn’t but been introduced, this week’s Fortnite replace included a loading display that seems to be the important thing artwork for this 12 months’s model of Fortnite’s annual spooky event–and it spills the beans on six new skins you’ll purchase this October. The headliners are two new horror film collab skins: Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Bloodbath, and Billy the Puppet from Noticed.
On prime of that, there are 5 different beforehand unrevealed new skins right here. There is a new purple model of Guff, a brand new remix of Purple Knight that glows purple, a pumpkin remix of Ultima Knight, a witchy new iteration of Lexa, and a spooky new model of Marshmello. Contemplating how Epic has dealt with the Ariana Grande and J Balvin Icon skins these days, it’s extremely doable that this new Marshmello is a completely new pores and skin that should be bought individually, relatively than a brand new fashion for the present Marshmello pores and skin.

With 4 weeks left within the season, it is a bit early for a season finale occasion, so it could possibly be that Physician Doom goes to unleash the Fortnitemares himself.
