At this point, it seems clear thatFortnitewon’t stop with introducing crossover content. If anything, it’s only picking up steam, as the last month alone has seen new cosmetic items crossing over with the likes ofVenom,The Walking Dead, and most recently the newDunemovie. Now fans of more frightful fare can get their fix in time for Halloween, asFortnitehas introduced a slew of new character skins and items based on theResident Evilseries.
Much of the content added to the game in recent times has leaned into a somewhat scarier vibe befitting the season. In addition to the aforementioned crossover content and thereturn of the annual Fortnitemares event, Chapter 2 Season 8 of Epic Game’s popular battle royale has been giving players the chance to enter the monster-filled reality known as the Sideways. It’s a good time for fans of more lighthearted scares, and the newResident Evilcontent should help fans enjoy it in style.
