It's no secret that the upcoming Fortnitemares 2024 event will deliver a flood of new content. Luckily, we've already gotten a taste of what's to come, confirming that Fortnite is gearing up for even more horror crossovers.

First off, Leatherface, a classic horror character from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, will be joining the Fortnite roster once the live event ends. The character is also seen with his iconic chainsaw, which may be used as a melee weapon or pickaxe.
