Final Fortnitemares teaser confirms Fortnite’s Halloween event start date, completes cryptic poem

Ross Deason

The fourth and final teaser for the upcoming Fortnitemares event in Fortnite has been released, confirming the date that the event begins, but don’t get your hopes up if you think it’s going to reveal a great deal more.

The teasers have been released on a daily basis since October 20 and some fans were convinced that the images were fitting together to make a larger picture, but number four is nothing more than the words ‘Fortnitemares Tomorrow!’ on a purple background, so it looks like that idea can be disregarded now.

On the other hand, another four verses of poetry have been included in the image caption so, if all of the stanzas are in chronological order, the entire poem should now be complete.

The latest addition to the aforementioned poem reads:

“The crack of lightning
Illuminates your wins
Arise, dark ones-
The fight begins.”

While most of the information about the Fortnitemares event is currently unconfirmed, we know the start date is on October 24 and a leak on PlayStation from October 22 seems to show that it will run all the way through to November 26, so expect something pretty substantial!

The event ‘rewards’ section in that same leak also stated that “Spooky rewards await those who complete the new Fortnitemare Challenges.”

Stay tuned for more information about the exciting new event as it becomes available. For the time being, we’ll leave you with what we assume is the completed Fortnitemares poem:

Costumes and dancing,
Partner up, be wise.
They could be friendly,
Or a ghoul in disguise.

Tombstones quake,
Keep you fingers steady.
The circle will close, 
Better be ready.

Take the shot, 
If you have enough to last. 
The wind calls out, 
“Fill your chambers, fast.”

The crack of lightning
Illuminates your wins 
Arise, dark ones- 
The fight begins.
