Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights to feature first-ever Fortnite scare zone
Freaky Fields puts guests inside haunted Fortnite battleground
ORLANDO, Fla. – Halloween Horror Nights is taking a dark turn into one of gaming’s biggest universes this fall, bringing the world of Fortnite’s Halloween event, Fortnitemares, to life as an all-new scare zone.
Fortnite is a massively popular online video game where millions of players worldwide build, battle, and connect with friends inside a constantly changing virtual world. Its annual Halloween event, Fortnitemares, blends horror-themed gameplay with new characters each season.
Now, that haunted battleground is coming to the real world. Guests at Halloween Horror Nights will step into Freaky Fields — a Halloween-inspired living battleground overrun by a mysterious, threatening force. Along the way, they’ll encounter the iconic Battle Bus, familiar Fortnitemares characters and a few exclusive surprises created specifically for the event.
The scare zone debuts Aug. 28 at Universal Orlando Resort.
