Fortnitemares 2024: More Horror, Rewards, and Collabs

Rumor has it that Epic Games has taken things to a whole new level this time!

Update 31.30 brings a plethora of new features, from fresh Halloween skins to quests and new collaborations. Rumors suggest we’ll see crossovers with franchises like Saw, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare Before Christmas, featuring characters like Leatherface, Pumpkin King, and Sally. If you’re into spooky surprises, then get ready for an update that has it all!

 

The New “Sleep Mode” Is Here

And if you thought the news ended there, think again!

The new “Sleep Mode” feature lets players pause their game without fully leaving the match.

This means you can catch your breath or take a quick break without worrying about getting kicked out.

Shaq and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Yes, you read that right! Epic Games has lined up new collaborations, including the much-anticipated Shaquille O’Neal skin and a crossover with the beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! If you’re a fan of Shaq or just want to see him slam dunk in the middle of a build fight, this update is for you!

 

When Does Update 31.30 Go Live?

The update has already been released on October 1, but the new content won’t be available until the scheduled maintenance is complete. According to Epic Games, servers will go offline at 9 a.m. UTC, with matchmaking disabled a bit earlier at 8:30 a.m.

The official launch of Fortnitemares 2024 is expected on October 15.
