The leaves are starting to turn orange and brown. And everywhere you look empty stores are turning into Spirit Halloween pop-up shops. That can only mean one thing: It’s October, the spookiest month of the year. And soon Halloween will arrive and, as in past years, that means creepy characters, horror icons, and other villainous baddies will be arriving in Fortnite.AdvertisementRelated ContentIt's A Complete Marvel Takeover (Again) In Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 5 Season 4Fortnite Now Lets You Make Your Own Lego Games Inside ItRelated ContentIt's A Complete Marvel Takeover (Again) In Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 5 Season 4Fortnite Now Lets You Make Your Own Lego Games Inside ItOn October 11, Epic posted a new trailer for Fortnightmares 2024, showing off some of the new skins, locations, and items that will be a part of this year’s spooky event. Here’s the trailer: Epic GamesSome of the characters in the new trailer, which leaked earlier today, had previously been datamined and reported on before the official reveal. For example, we knew Leatherface and Billy The Puppet (from the Saw movies) were coming to Fortnite as Epic had teased them before and leaks had indicated such earlier this month.

The eponymous star of Tim Burton’s classic 1990 film is seen briefly in the trailer carving some ice, indicating that they will be available to buy and play as in the update.

The chainsaws will go perfectly with this year’s new Leatherface skin. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre killer loves a good automated chain with saw blades.

While we knew some famous Disney baddies were coming to Fortnite, this is our first look at how these 2D villains will look in the battle royale. I think Epic has done a solid job transferring them to 3D.
