Fortnite’s annual Halloween event, Fortnitemares is upon us. And this year, players will get to play as Michael Myers from the iconic Halloween franchise and Jack Skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas. This year’s Fortnitemares will run until November 2nd.

Along with these two iconic film characters, players also get to play as Alan Wake, a popular video game character known for the critically acclaimed Alan Wake series. Additionally, Alan Wake 2 will be released this October as well.

Kado Throne is the main antagonist, and you will be hunting down a lot of vampires. Luckily, you can use the new Wood Stake Shotgun to eliminate these monstrosities. And when it comes to melee weapons, you can use Throne’s Vampiric Blade, which, when it slashes an enemy, will restore your health. It makes sense why it’s vampiric.

There is also the Pumpkin Launcher that shoots explosive Jack-o’-lanterns. You can find this weapon on the ground, in regular and Rare Chests, Holo-Chests, and flying drones. Of course, for flying through the air, you can use the new Witch Broom.

The devs in their announcement for this update, also stated that ” Starting with v28.00, players will be required to use OS10 or higher to continue playing Fortnite natively on Android in an officially supported manner. Android OS9 will no longer be officially supported in Fortnite, which means that we will no longer actively ensure that it is compatible with Fortnite and that the service quality may degrade over time and eventually become unplayable.”

This large update comes with even more changes and the addition of new features, so definitely check out Fortnite’s official website to find more information on Fortnitemares 2023. Plus, Epic Games is also going through a tough time, as they had to lay off 16% of their workforce to stabilize their finances and internal economics.
