Universal’s Classic Monsters Are Coming To Fortnite, Starting With Frankenstein’s Monster

Epic Games has revealed that some of Universal’s classic and iconic monsters are coming to Fortnite. 

Epic announced the news today, revealing that the first monstrous icon to join the battle royale will be Frankenstein’s Monster. Epic announced that there will be more monsters added to the Item Shop over the course of the month. But Epic didn’t reveal one additional item players should expect. It is the Mummy. This, however, was not the battle royale fight Brendan Fraser had. 

It is also special because the Mummy skin will be sold in the Item Shop. A Mummy, however, will also be on the battle Royale Island as a character trying find their way to the Underworld late this month. 

These monsters are being added to the game as part of this year’s Fortnitemares 2021 event, which sees the game transform in a number of ways for the Halloween occasion. Fortnitemares 2020 will include new costumes and older ones, as well as Universal monsters. 

While Frankenstein and the Mummy aren’t yet available for purchase, the community-inspired Boxy and Boxer skins are in the item shop right now. Each has an alternate Spectral Style version that glows in-game, too. 

Skins aren’t the only things coming to Fortnite for the Fortnitemares 2021 event. Epic claims that The Cubes plan to takeover the island next month. 

“Later in the month, they’ll escalate their domination of the island,” Epic’s Fortnitemares 2021 blog post says. “But take heart! Get stronger with the new Sideways weapon and back-to-back Halloween tricks. Also, a special LTM is returning. During this Cubic chaos, there’ll also be Quests to accomplish for eerie rewards.” 

During Fortnitemares 2021, the Dual Fiend Hunters pictured below will be available on the map, which should help in the fight against the Cube.
