Universal Monsters Heading to ‘Fortnite’, Starting With Frankenstein’s Creature
Well, since everyone and anyone is joining Fortnite these days, and since it’s October, it was only a matter of time before the classic Universal Monsters started to pop up. Noted Fortnite leaker HYPEX dropped news that The Creature will be the latest addition to Fortnite‘s library of skins.
Fortnite will be rolling out the outfit reveals throughout the month and a Fortnitemare card will flip over to reveal which new item is entering the store next.
It’s all part of the upcoming Fortnitemare event, which features a themed map and a mix of new skins featuring original designs and collaboration with Universal’s monster movies. Alongside The Creature, IGN reports that a skin based on The Mummy is expected later in the month.
After the success of Jurassic World Evolution and its sequel, you knew that Frontier Developments would be itching to return to the well again. That appears to be the case, as the developer/publisher has announced that they’ve signed a deal with Universal for a third entry.
According to the press release, the third game in the series is scheduled for release between June 1, 2025 and May 31, 2026, with the game expected to be officially announced in the coming months. If you’re wondering about the date range, that would be because Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment are currently developing a new Jurassic World film that’s slated for release on July 2, 2025.
Jurassic World Evolution remains Frontier’s best-selling game to date since its release almost six years ago.
“We are delighted to reveal that we are developing a third Jurassic World game to extend our collaborative relationship with Universal Products & Experiences for our best-selling game franchise,” states Frontier Development Chief Executive Officer Jonny Watts. “Our Jurassic World Evolution game franchise has showcased great creative and technical expertise in CMS games and the strength of our select, develop, launch, and nurture strategy in the genre. I very much look forward to providing more information on our exciting plans for the franchise in the future.”
You can grab the first two entries in the series on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
