There’s no doubt that ‘Fortnite‘ is becoming like a party where you used to invite only a select few every week, a small group to have fun, and in the end, even the cousin of someone’s brother who dropped by once is showing up. But it doesn’t matter: it’s still fun, it’s still making money. How can we ask them to stop? Their new crazy crossover is related to Halloween, and of course, masks, skeletons, and machetes are everywhere.
There are colored lights
There will be three guests in ‘Fortnite’, starting with the most obvious one, Alan Wake, who is getting a sequel in January 2024, and Epic wants to promote it by any means necessary. It has been 13 years since the first part, and fans have been wanting more for a long time. Maybe not by shooting and jumping off the battle bus, but well, any publicity is good publicity, right?
The second guest is Jack Skellington, the protagonist of ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’, which is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary this year. A sequel has always been in the air (it’s said that Disney wanted to move away from stop-motion animation and make it computer-generated to cut costs) until it was published in the form of a novel in 2022. But if you haven’t heard of ‘Long Live the Pumpkin Queen’, there’s a reason. Let’s just say it didn’t make history.
Finally, a bloodthirsty and immortal killer: Michael Myers, the protagonist of the 13 ‘Halloween’ movies, the latest one being exactly a year ago, always ready with a machete to finish off all the teenagers (or, in this case, the island’s inhabitants) he can. Hopefully, next year, there will be a group with Chucky, Jason Voorhees, and Freddy Krueger. A truly epic Halloween.
The event has been named Fortnitemares, and frankly, slashing like in an old-school slasher movie is exactly what the game needed. It makes jumping off the bus all the more exciting.
