However, such features aren’t entirely new. Last year, we got some specific game modes focused on Fortnitemares that players really enjoyed. For example, there was a thing where players had to turn into ghosts and try to capture other players around the map.

Fortnitemares 2021 comes with the Universal Monsters Set of skins, starting with the Frankestein’s Monster that you can buy from the Item Shop on October 5. Later, we’ll get The Mummy.
