Fornitemares 2020 release date
The scares will take place from October 21 to November 3 this year, which is earlier than usual. Update v14.40 is now live, and weighs in at a chunky 27GB on PC. Epic has promised that the update will provide a number of optimizations and result in smaller updates for the game moving forward, as well as reducing the file size of Fortnite itself – it should end up over 60GB smaller.
Fornitemares Midas’ Revenge
Fortnitemares 2020 will see the return of Midas, this time in Shadow form. Along with his reawakened Henchmen, Shadow Midas has reclaimed what was once The Agency. Once you’ve been eliminated in Solo, Duos, or Squads, you can return to the fray as a Shadow for your shot at a Nitemare Royale.
Fortnitemares skins
You can expect some hauntingly good challenges and rewards during the Fortnitemares event, including plenty of scary skins and cosmetics to unlock. There’s the Smash O’Latern Pickaxe, Bobo Back Bling, and more seasonally-appropriate gear to grab.
New weapons include the Pumpkin Rocket Launcher and Fiend Hunter Crossbow, perfect for fighting your foes. You can ride on a Witch Broom, too, and there’s plenty of candy to get your hands on. Some Halloween-themed character skins include Midnight Dusk, Arachne Couture, Gnash and Grimoire, which give your character a suitably gothic look.
