Fortnite‘s latest season is coming to a close, and with Halloween fast approaching, the annual Fortnitemares event is back just in time to see it out. You’re gonna wanna call somebody about it.
The increased focus on licensed content in the game over the last year (Star Wars, DC, John Wick, and this season’s Marvel blowout that included a Blade skin) seems to continue for the spooky special event, as a dig through its files has unearthed the existence of more Marvel heroes in Ant-Man and Ghost Rider, but more importantly, there seems to be some kind of Ghostbusters tie-in that includes the iconic brown jumpsuits as costumes.
iFireMonkey, a pretty reliable source of Fortnite news and leaks dug into the Fortnitemares update files and found a juicy selection of info regarding the event’s contents. The info was made more legitimate when Epic Games revealed the event’s first details, and many details matched the initial leak.
Another user found what appears to be ECTO-1 under a sheet in the game, and repeatedly hitting it causes it to emit that all-too-familiar noise.
Fortnitemares kicked off today, and runs until November 3, so it won’t be long until we see the extent of the Ghostbusters‘ involvement.
At least we get some Ghostbusters this year after all. Hopefully, it’s one of the better video game representations.
