The month of October is going to be a blast with Fortnite Halloween 2024 giving some spookily-cool content that will elevate everyone’s battle royal experiences.
Due to its enormous popularity, Fortnite has set the standard for events and content with holiday themes. The Fortnite Halloween event, Fortnitemares, may have chosen the ideal time to launch this year. And while Until Dawn remake player count struggles on PlayStation 5, Fortnite is thriving in October’s spooky season for 2024.
So, are you ready to dip your toes in and discover what Fortnitemares 2024 has in store for you? Well, then jump right in, and together, we’ll check all of it out!
Fortnitemares 2024 Is Fortnite's Biggest Hit for October
October only has a handful of games that are set to release content related to the spooky season. But since Fortnite released its Fortnitemares on October 11, the gaming community has been treated to an early trick gamers from all around the world will love.
While most games tend to wait until Halloween is getting closer to arrive before celebrating, Fortnite is embracing the season far earlier, ensuring the success of this year’s eerie celebrations. Dead by Daylight and Overwatch 2 are two more games that will receive seasonal updates in the upcoming weeks. But Fortnite will be the first game to truly embrace Halloween this early for a good few days.
Fortnite Halloween 2024 is proving to be a very successful release for Epic Games. The Fortnite Halloween event, Fortnitemares 2024, has had so much traction on it. The gameplay trailer alone racked up 1.9 million views on Fortnite’s official YouTube channel

Although Fortnite players seem to be taking a break these days (according to ActivePlayer Fortnite live player statistics, the game has taken a 2.49% loss, amounting to -34,563 players in the last 30 days), new skins and weapons are bound to reinvigorate the fan base.
What Can Players Expect from Fortnitemares 2024?
What is added to the game in the Fortnite Halloween 2024 updates appears to follow a formula. Players anticipate several new Fortnite cosmetics based on horror-themed things every year, and this year will be no exception.
Additionally, new limited-edition weaponry based on this year’s new skins is now available with the event’s opening. This includes the reintroduction of armaments like the Jack-O-Launcher. It’s also possible that players will witness the resurgence of time-limited game modes. A good example of these modes are the zombie-slaying adventures from previous years.
Naturally, the terrain map and other resources will also get their customary Halloween theming. They’ll come complete with gloomy settings, pumpkins, and maybe some candy for the treasure pool.
Get Yourself Ready for the New Fortnite Halloween Skins
There will be multiple skins based on well-known villains released for Fortnite Halloween 2024. Marvel Comics’ Mephisto and Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s Leatherface have appeared in advertisements for the event.
The shop has already included Billy the Puppet from the Saw franchise, which is the most notable addition. He carries numerous themed cosmetics, including a spiralized slicer pickaxe and a tricycle emote, which Billy the Puppet is notoriously known for.
It is currently unclear what the horror cosmetics associated with other skins will presumably entail, though we’re pretty sure most players have already discovered (we’ll leave this one up to you—we don’t want to ruin the surprise). Though it hasn’t been verified yet, there are also rumors that Billy’s tricycle will be included as a legendary weapon. A weapon that would automatically move in the direction of adversaries before blowing up.
Fortnite players are certainly going to have fun with the number of skins and weapons in store for them this month. They might even come up with various “dress to impress codes” within their respective communities.
