Fortnitemares 2024: Nightmare Before Christmas Skins Return to Haunt Fortnite

Fortnite’s beloved Halloween event, Fortnitemares, is back for 2024, and this year’s event promises to be more exciting than ever. Building on the success of past collaborations, one of the most anticipated releases is the return of The Nightmare Before Christmas crossover. Fans of Tim Burton’s iconic movie are in for a spooky treat as new skins, emotes, and items from the Halloween classic are set to haunt the Item Shop.

With leaks hinting at a variety of fresh content, including new skins for fan-favourite characters, Fortnite players are eagerly awaiting what could be the most thrilling Fortnitemares yet. Let’s dive into the details of this bone-chilling collaboration and what players can expect in this year’s Halloween event.

New Nightmare Before Christmas Fortnite Skins

The Nightmare Before Christmas collaboration is expanding in 2024, going beyond last year’s limited offerings. Instead of a single character skin, Fortnite players will be treated to multiple skins from the beloved Halloween-Christmas hybrid film. Here’s what we know about the skins set to arrive:

• Sally Skin: This year, we’re getting more of Sally, but with a fun twist there will be a Lego version of the character. The lovable ragdoll gets a fresh, blocky makeover, bringing her iconic style to the game in a unique way.
• Jack Skellington: Jack, the Pumpkin King himself, will return with a brand-new variation. In addition to his classic and Santa looks, this update introduces a version of Jack with a pumpkin head, as seen in the movie’s opening number.

These skins, available in the Item Shop, are expected to come with exclusive accessories and emotes, making them a must-have for any Nightmare Before Christmas fan. The skins are perfect for Halloween, allowing players to customize their Fortnite experience with a spooky flair.

What’s Coming in the Next Fortnite Update?

With each Fortnitemares event comes a major update, and this year is no different. While the skins will be the highlight, players can expect several other exciting additions to the game. This includes an Event Pass, which will offer new challenges, rewards, and exclusive content.

The Event Pass will likely introduce themed quests and objectives, giving players the opportunity to earn cosmetics and V-Bucks while diving into the spooky festivities. As Fortnite continues to expand its event structure, these Event Passes offer an added layer of fun and rewards for both casual and dedicated players alike.

Jack Skellington Bundle: Will He Return?

Although not released alongside Sally and the Pumpkin King, fans can still hope for the return of the Jack Skellington Bundle. Last year, Jack Skellington made his Fortnite debut with a set that included the Zero Back Bling, Jack’s Scary Face Emote, Peppermint Parasol Pickaxe, Jack’s Sled Glider, and the Lock, Shock, and Barrel’s Tub Traversal Emote. The bundle, priced at 2,600 V-Bucks, provided a great deal for players looking to deck out their character in classic Nightmare Before Christmas style. Keep an eye on the Item Shop to see if this iconic protagonist makes a haunting return.
