Michael Myers, Jack Skellington and Alan Wake have been added to Fortnite

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Michael Myers, Jack Skellington and Alan Wake have been added to Fortnite.

Coming out of the vault, meanwhile, are the Pumpkin Launcher, a rocket launcher that shoots laughing jack-o-lanterns, and the Witch’s Broom, a mobility item that allows you gain height very quickly–it’s similar to the Nimbus Cloud from the Dragon Ball event last year. And, of course, Halloween candy can be found all over the place, with each kind giving a different effect, like super speed or low gravity.

The limited-time mode Horde Rush is also returning for Fortnitemares–this is a PvE mode in which you and your teammates battle monsters across the Battle Royale island and eventually face a pretty beefy boss battle. In the process, you try to rack up multipliers and get a high score.

Fortnitenitemares 2023 Item Shop skins

Epic has really stepped up its collaboration game for this year’s Fortnitemares, with three major new spooky collabs hitting the Item Shop during the event. Michael Myers, the main character in the Halloween franchise, is the headliner, but Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas and Alan Wake, just in time for his Epic-published sequel, are pretty big deals themselves.

Remedy’s very own Alan Wake will be available to buy as a skin later in the event, presumably timed alongside the launch of the long-awaited Alan Wake 2 (that’s due on 27th October).

Jack Skellington from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas is also joining Fortnite – I like that he also has his Santa Jack costume as well – alongside Halloween’s Michael Myers.
