Fortnitemares 2023 is an event many Fortnite players look forward to. Epic Games just revealed its release date, and it’s right around the corner. Once again, the Halloween event will bring new skins and cosmetics, new gameplay items, and much more.
Last year’s event was rather disappointing. While Epic released some great skins and a new Mythic item, players expected a lot more out of the event. However, it appears that the popular event will be much better this year. The game developer is preparing a lot of big things for it, according to leakers.
Here’s everything we know about the Halloween event so far, including its release date.
