Dates: October 11 through November 2
The battle royale’s spooky celebration returns with Fortnitemares 2024. Fortnite’s Halloween event tends to be a good time, but this year’s festivities seem even more involved than usual. There are ridable chainsaws and Boom Billy tricycles you can launch at opponents to blow them up. Jigsaw Challenges at monitors scattered across the map let players dual one another wherever they are. And, of course, Horde Rush has returned alongside new costumes for Edward Scissorhands, Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas, She-Venom and Agony, and Disney villains Maleficent, Captain Hook, and Cruella de Vil. — Ethan Gach
