The Halloween-themed Fortnitemares event is returning in 2023 in Fortnite v26.30, as announced by Epic Games, who also confirmed new rewards and skins for certain well-known characters. Fortnite’s live service content delivery model, which continues to be a hugely popular Battle Royale, is largely to thank for this.

Together with regular updates and seasonal content, Epic Games has also been able to include crossovers with a remarkable amount of IPs in Fortnite, including video game franchises, film and television properties, and Marvel and DC comic book characters.

Fortnitemares is also bringing back the Pumpkin Launcher, Witch Broom, and more

To go along with new features like Thorne’s Vampiric Sword and Wood Stake Shotgun, Fortnitemares is also bringing back the Pumpkin Launcher, Witch Broom, and the Sanguine Sweets (Candy Corn, Pepper Mints, Hop Drops, and Jelly Beans) from the vault. Moreover, players can participate in missions for Horde Rush and Fortnitemares. Each set offers rewards for completing 5, 15, and 25 tasks, including Back Blings, Icons, Emotes, Wraps, and many other items.
