Epic has launched the October Fortnitemares event with Battle Royale changes, the return of Horde Rush, and seasonal characters. For the updated Nitemare Island, Reload has been announced on October 8th.
The Battle Royale names Nightmare Neighborhood and Freddy Krueger, a new Bonerattler SMG weapon, and the return of the Pumpkin Launcher. Store characters are released throughout the month, so the entire list of collaborations does not mean a simultaneous launch. As of October 7, the announced Reload update still applies to the following day. Check the mode and calendar: the content of Battle Royale and Reload is different.
