Fortnitemares 2024 Event: All You Need to Know

This year has been packed with new content for Fortnite, and one of the standout favorites is the Marvel-themed season Absolute Doom. The excitement doesn’t end there, though, as Fortnite players are already looking forward to the Fortnitemares 2024 event. This Halloween-themed event has been a highlight in Fortnite since 2017, consistently delivering epic gameplay. With this year’s iteration, players can expect even more impressive and engaging content to explore.

Epic Games hasn’t released any official information about the event yet, but it’s expected to arrive in October, and we’re already here. We’ve also come across some leaks about what to expect, including character appearances and a potential start date. If you’re like us and can’t wait to find out, here are all the details.

Fortnitemares 2024 Event: Everything You Should Know About It

On October 1, the v31.30 update was released for Fortnite, introducing the first event of the season, the DOOM event, which kicks off this Saturday, October 5.

According to an X (Twitter) post from HYPEX, a reputable leaker, this update is a lead-up to the Fortnitemares event, which is also set to come to Fortnite this October with the v31.40 update. The tweet states that players can look forward to the full event update between October 11 and 15.

However, it’s probably safer to mark October 15 on your calendar for the Fortnitemares event since past events usually kick off around mid-month. This event may run until the end of the Absolute Doom season on November 2, following the usual two-week span we’ve seen in past events.

What to Expect With Fortnitemares 2024 Event

ShiinaBR, another reputable leaker, mentioned in a post on X that he found encrypted SAW files, among others, in the Fortnite v31.30 update. This suggests a possible collaboration with SAW, which could introduce items like the Billy skin and the Boom Billy Mythic during the event.

Additionally, a leaked image shared by the same leaker shows Leatherface from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, complete with his iconic chainsaw, which may be a weapon in the game. The image also features Marshmello and Billy from the SAW series once again.

Unlike last year’s Fortnitemares event that showcased Michael Myers and Ash Williams, here are the characters we can expect in the Fortnitemares 2024 event:

  • Leatherface
  • Marshmello
  • Billy the Puppet
Fortnitemares 2024 Event - Jason

While players are anticipating the arrival of Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th franchise in the Fortnitemares 2024 event, there isn’t much evidence to support that just yet. Still, it’s worth keeping an eye out in the coming days as more info rolls in about the live event and the Fortnite v31.40 update later this month.
