While we are part of the way through the release of a whole bunch of Fortnite skins and collabs for its Fortnitemares Halloween event, there are a few more big ones still to go, and we have not gotten any information about their release dates until this latest leak.
Courtesy of an image from @Starry_Galaxy1, who found an IRL poster, here are the upcoming skins with the new ones in bold:
- The Grabber (Black Phone) – October 16
- Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13) – October 17
- Daphne, Fred and Velma (Scooby Doo) – October 18
- Huggy Wuggy (Poppy Playtime) – October 23
- Art the Clown (Terrifier) – October 22
- Semibot (REPO) – October 25
Then we have Wednesday Addams from Netflix’s Wednesday, arguably the biggest collab out of all of these, given that it’s one of the most popular shows in the country. While it does not have a date, speculation is that if Fortnite is having it come out on a Wednesday after these new dates, that would be October 29, four days after Semibot, which aligns with this schedule. That has not been confirmed or even leaked, however, it’s an educated guess. But one I would probably bank on.
I previously talked about how the arrival of Art the Clown is probably the final red line in terms of Fortnite drawing from any R-rated property, given that Terrifier is probably one of the goriest horror franchises of all time, with Art the most twisted villain. Not that he shouldn’t be here, I mean, he’s right next to Jason and Ghostface, but I don’t really think there’s anyone who can top him, and Fortnite really just wants every IP on earth. They’re still missing a good number of horror villains, however, even if they have heavy hitters (before this, they already had Michael Myers and Leatherface).
One of the most popular additions to the game this Fortnitemares has proven to be the Ghostface ability to turn into the character and stalk other players. Before all this, we also had the arrival of the KPop Demon Hunters as the lead-in to the event, given that their lore allowed them to bring demons in tow. We also had Doja Cat because…well, I’m not sure, but they made her Queen of Fortnitemares for some reason.
Between collabs and actual gameplay, this does seem to be a more successful Fortnitemares than most. For my money, I think the best skins are actually Scooby and the Gang, but everyone else may have different favorites. I like Terrifier, but I’m not sure I can bring myself to buy Art. Wednesday? Yeah, probably.
