Fortnite has made an annual custom out of including horror icons as skins every October when spooky season rolls in. Final yr it was Leatherface and Billy the Puppet, the yr earlier than that it was Michael Myers and Jack Skellington, and the yr earlier than that introduced us Ash Williams. Nevertheless it’s trying like these lineups may pale compared to what’s in retailer for us this yr, as dataminers have collected proof that each Jason Voorhees from Friday the thirteenth and Ghostface from Scream can be coming for us all throughout this yr’s Fortnitemares in October.
Whereas nobody has truly seen these alleged Ghostface and Jason Voorhees skins, some compelling proof was discovered within the Fortnite sport information with the brand new season replace. For Jason, leakers discovered references to a new medallion named after him, which is fairly clear reduce. The proof is barely extra circumspect for Ghostface–there’s information a couple of new mythic merchandise referred to as a “Stalker Knife” which appears very very similar to it might match with a Scream collab. That might as an alternative be associated to the prevailing Michael Myers collab, however Fortnite normally reserves new mythics for new collabs, not returning ones.
No matter what the fact truly is, it will most likely be a pair months earlier than these rumors are formally confirmed or shut down, since Fortnitemares will not begin till October anyway. Within the meantime, although, there’s loads of new content material to eat in Fortnite, what with the simultaneous launches of the brand new seasons of Battle Royale and OG. Battle Royale specifically is experiencing a large vibe shift because it strikes from the superhero-themed season that simply ended to an invasion of bugs and really giant worm creatures. Atone for the new loot pool, map changes, and the whole lot else Season 4 is including to BR with the gallery under.
