Dead Pixels Update
So we here at the Dead Pixels have decide to expand our horizons a bit. Nothing major or serious, and no need to worry, we aren’t going anywhere. But, we will be covering a bit more games. No kiddie type stuff, more in the adultish area of video gaming. Halo, Call Of Duty, things of that nature. Horror is still going to be the main area of coverage, but we wanted to open it up a bit to appeal to more gamers. And to deliver a bit more content to you all especially when the horror gaming is slow.
As far as the lack of Dead Pixels Podcasts, I apologize for that, and we will be making it up to you soon with the 2nd part of our Best Games Of 2009. Also, if you hadn’t noticed, we recently added a search box strictly for the Dead Pixels news section. It’s on the right side more towards the top. If you type in a game you should be able to find most if not all news posted about it, in case you missed anything.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
