Epic Games doesn’t seem to be slowing down as far as Fortnite is concerned. You’d think so with the Horde Bash event inevitably coming to an end, yet the game is preparing a brand new event to celebrate Halloween. Fortnite update 1.8 is set for release on Thursday, October 26th, and will bring a new zone, new characters and weapons.
Epic Games stated: “We’re kicking off the spookiest time of the year in a big way with our Fortnitemares Event, which comes with a brand new zone – Hexsylvania. Get lost in the deep levels of the catacombs, the endless halls of flickering candles or the thick fog creeping across the map!”
