Although terrifying Halloween celebrations are nothing new to Fortnite, Fortnitemares 2024 is expected to be the deadliest ever. In the ever-expanding universe of Epic Games, two legendary horror monsters, Leatherface and Billy the Puppet, are set to make their horrifying debuts. Prepare yourself if you enjoy Saw or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre because these eerie characters are coming to Fortnite and things are going to get spooky!
Horror Legends Join Fortnite
With two of the most known faces in horror history, this year's Fortnitemares are sure to lift the ante on terror. Billy the Puppet, the creepy figurehead of Saw, and Leatherface, the chainsaw-wielding madman from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, will be making an appearance in Fortnite for the event. These two horror icons have earned their spot among the greatest villains with innumerable spin-offs, sequels, and even video games of their own. Now, they'll be lurking in Fortnite as well.
Fortnitemares Fun: Skins, Challenges, and More
Beyond just creating a spooky atmosphere, Fortnite's Halloween event offers players a ton of new skins, weapons, and objectives to complete. Fortnitemares is renowned for its innovative partnerships every year, and 2024 won't be any different. Players can anticipate a variety of exclusive content in addition to the return of Billy the Puppet and Leatherface to commemorate the spookiest holiday of the year.

It’s not just about the frights—Fortnite is giving everyone the chance to trick out their characters in these haunting new looks.
When Does the Fright Fest Begin?
Although Epic Games hasn’t officially announced the start of Fortnitemares 2024, rumors suggest it will kick off on October 15. Given that Fortnite tends to roll out big updates on Tuesdays, it’s likely that mid-October date will be the start of all the spooky fun.
And don't forget, you’ve got until November 2 to wrap up Chapter 5, Season 4 and finish off your Battle Pass.
Fortnite’s Love for Collaborations
Fortnite’s no stranger to collaborations, and the addition of Leatherface and Billy the Puppet comes right after another big crossover with Disney Pixar’s The Incredibles. Skins from that franchise hit the in-game shop not long after being revealed at Disney's D23 event.
As always, Fortnite's partnership with brands continues to bring exciting new content for players, and Fortnitemares 2024 is yet another chance to see some of the coolest—and creepiest—characters join the game. Get your flashlights ready, because Fortnitemares 2024 is going to be a wild (and spooky) ride!
