Fortnitemares 2022 start date, event details and crossovers
Another spooky season is upon us, and that means Fortnitemares 2022 too. Whether you have joined Fortnitemares before or you are experiencing FortniteThe first annual Halloween event, you can be sure that there will be tons of skins, challenges, holiday themed items and more. Read on for everything we know about Fortnitemares 2022.
When is Fortnitemares 2022?
Fortnitemares 2022 starts on October 18 and is expected to last until at least October 31, if not a little longer. Previous Fortnitemares events have lasted until November, so that’s entirely possible around this time.
Map, item and challenge changes
You can expect some map changes and event-specific items to appear in Fortnitemares 2022, though Epic has yet to confirm specifics. We should know more when a trailer drops any day now.
We might be all but we’re sure to see some monstrous new types of enemies, like last year’s Cube Monster that spawns every year to wreak havoc across the island. It’s likely we’ll once again see some POIs changed to fit the Halloween theme – in fact, we did see one, when Shifty Shafts turned into a Grim Gables haunted house. Don’t be surprised if candies also return, often available outside the house for you to find and eat, giving you health, movement speed and more. Finally, we’re all making sure to have some Halloween challenges to complete for XP – or maybe even event-specific cosmetics.
New interface
Halloween themed skins will be rampant in Fortnitemares 2022, so you should expect a return of some from previous years along with some brand new skins.
While Epic hasn’t released a full list of new skins coming this year, we got an early look at at least two of them (see below) late last month.
With so many horror series hitting the headlines in recent times, there are countless possibilities for crossovers, but the most rumored one is another crossover with The Walking Dead. Previous years have included beloved characters like Rick, Daryl, and Michonne, so there’s a good chance we’ll see some new skins from the popular zombie show in this year’s selection. Some were even expecting to see everyone’s favorite bat-wielding Negan show up, but only time will tell.
We’ll be sure to update this post as we learn more ahead of the event. Happy haunts, repeat guys!
