October 9, 2024The highly anticipated Fortnitemares 2024 update is set to launch on October 11, featuring a mini event pass for LEGO Fortnite, Halloween-themed map changes, and new landmarks.
LEGO Fortnite, which debuted in December 2022, has gained significant traction in the live-service gaming sector over the past ten months.
Players can look forward to the return of Halloween-themed skins and cosmetics, including Dark Ruby and Leatherface, alongside gameplay adjustments.

While the release date for the Edward Scissorhands skin remains unconfirmed, it is expected to be included in the upcoming event.
Details about the Chainsaw's stats are still under wraps, but its addition is viewed positively, especially given the game's limited melee options.
Concerns have emerged regarding gameplay restrictions for Disney characters, particularly their ability to wield weapons during the event.
The update will also introduce a Halloween-themed runway, enhancing the festive atmosphere with new content.
Map updates will feature changes to existing locations like Grand Glacier and Brawler’s Battleground, along with the addition of six new landmarks.
A significant leak has revealed the introduction of a Chainsaw weapon, which is anticipated to enhance the Halloween-themed experience of the event.
The event has generated significant excitement among players since it was first teased at the Roblox Innovation Awards 2024.
Players defeating a Tomato Golem will gain access to valuable resources, including a Rift Shard and Obsidian, adding depth to gameplay.
