- A new Nitemare Island map is being added on October 10
Epic Games has released the details and first trailer for Fortnitemares, Fortnite‘s annual Halloween event, revealing the crossover characters who will be added to the game.
Fortnitemares officially returns today, October 9, and like last year, the seasonal event arrives with an exciting new collaboration to celebrate, this time starring Scooby Doo and the gang.
The trailer confirmed that Scooby Doo, Shaggy, Daphne, Fred, and Velma will all be featured in this year’s Halloween event, and likely be available as skins in the Item Shop.
They’ll also be joined by this year’s main event boss, Mother of Thorns, and real-life popstar Doja Cat.
“Fear gets a new face. Meet the Mother of Thorns, Doja Cat, who’s twisting Battle Royale into her haunted kingdom and unleashing chaos with a wild cast of characters,” Epic Games teased.
Those characters include horror icons like Scream’s Ghostface, Jason Vorhees from Friday the 13th, Wednesday Addams, the Grabber from Black Phone, and Art the Clown from Terrifier.
There will also be some skins inspired by some video games, including those from R.E.P.O. and Huggy Wuggy from the survival horror game, Poppy Playtime.
Players can also look forward to the all-new Nitemare Island that will debut in Fortnite Reload on October 10, which transforms the map into a Halloween-inspired spectacle.
The new event arrives amid Chapter 6 Season 4, which recently added a K-pop Demon Hunters collaboration.
