Fortnite’s Fortnitemares Event: Take on Challenges Then Join the After-Life Party with J Balvin

After having downtime for about an hour since 4 a.m. of October 21, the Fortnitemares Halloween has just begun as Fortnite released patch notes for update 14.40.

Fortnite said in a tweet: "#Fortnitemares is back! Shadow Midas has taken over The Authority with his reawakened Henchmen. Stop him before you turn into a Shadow yourself."

With a host of spooky Henchmen, Shadow Midas returns to The Authority and players need to eliminate him. Even after elimination, players can still return to the match as a Shadow. They can still possess cars and tackle enemies with their new ghostly form until they win the Nitemare Royale.

Fortnite: Fortnitemares challenges

There are various challenges for this Fortnitemares event that runds from October 21 until November 3. Different rewards are up for grabs after completing each task, once a number of challenges have been completed as well as after completing all of them.
