Fortnitemares is known for its spooky and exciting additions to the game. Each year, Epic Games introduces a collection of themed content and frightening skins, delighting players around the globe. In 2023, it comes as no surprise as the iconic character Jack Skellington stole the spotlight and became the most sought-after skin in Fortnitemares.
Jack Skellington is the charismatic and bony protagonist of Tim Burton's classic animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas. He's an instantly recognisable Halloween icon with his expressive face, lanky frame, and iconic pinstripe suit.
For those unfamiliar with The Nightmare Before Christmas, it features Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, who discovers Christmas and attempts to bring it to his spooky world.
The film has a dedicated fan base, and this collaboration allows Fortnite players to immerse themselves in the magic of Christmas and Halloween at the same time.
