Fortnitemares 2025 is officially underway, giving you weeks of mayhem with some of your favorite horror characters and franchises. Fortnite is going all out this year, and I can’t wait to dive in, especially as the new Reload map sporting those spooky vibes arrives in-game today, and it features some familiar locations that horror fans should be more than familiar with at this point.
The new Fortnite map is Nitemare Island – that’s certainly fitting for spooky season – and some of the locations are clear staples of the genre. Let’s look at Creepy Cabins, for example; it’s essentially a campsite next to a lake. Huh, I wonder who you could bump into around there. A scary guy with a hockey mask and a machete, possibly? Jason Vorhees is part of the Fortnitemares lineup, so you can expect to see people running around as him.
One of the other Fortnite skins coming as part of the Halloween event is Ghost Face, the iconic villain from the Scream franchise, and, as this villain is partial to massacres in Woodsborough, I can imagine they’ll feel right at home in the Spooky Suburbs portion of Nitemare Island. If I don’t have a Ghost Face (or twen) chasing me through town, I’ll be bitterly disappointed.
