Fortnite's FORTNITEMARES is coming to Halloween Horror Nights 2026 as a scare zone at Universal Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood.
The zone places guests in the Freaky Fields, a living battleground with the Battle Bus and familiar Fortnitemares characters. Universal says the cast will also include characters created for the Halloween Horror Nights version.
Fortnitemares is Fortnite's annual Halloween event. It typically adds horror-themed characters, locations, quests and cosmetic items to the game. The Halloween Horror Nights zone is a separate live attraction, and Universal has not said that its exclusive characters will appear in Fortnite.
