Fortnite's Halloween event is coming back in a big way with brand new cosmetics, unique game modes, and so much spooky season content. While we always knew Fortnitemares was going to drop sometime in October, we finally have a sense of the release date along with some promising details for the latest iteration of this annual event. Here's what we know:

When is Fortnitemares?

Epic Games has confirmed that the Fortnitemares update will drop on October 11, 2024 with V31.40.

What Content is Coming in Fortnitemares?

Naturally, plenty of iconic spooky season skins and other cosmetics will no doubt return to the store during Fortnitemares. However, Epic has teased some new skins along with multiple collabs. We already know a Saw crossover will come along with the update as it has been teased in-game.

Along with the skins, there will be a number of Halloween-themed maps joining the Discover playlist. To add to the ambiance (and borrow a page from what made Among Us so successful for streamers) proximity chat will be required for the halloween maps. Players who want to submit maps to the pool will have until October 7.
