Fans of Fortnite are going wild about the newly unveiled Skins of Fortnitemares 2025, including Ghostface from Scream, Mothman, and perhaps, some of the characters from the Terrifier movie series. This was already predicted. The good news was relayed by one of the most popular Fortnite dataminers, iFireMonkey, via a tweet. As a result, he stirred up a great deal of interest in the whole Fortnite community. There is no doubt that this year’s event will be very strong; thus, the early character leaks show that Epic Games intends to make 2025 Halloween season their priority.
What was it that the players got from the leaks? The text of the main tweet iFireMonkey just showed “NEW Fortnitemares 2025 Skins” and what looks to be preview images, but the media itself is not visible in the data. However, the replies to that tweet tell the entire story – players are going absolutely crazy about Ghostface finally being part of Fortnite, the user GoofyShittt even tweeted “Ghost face in Fortnite #DreamsDoComeTrue” along with crying-laughing emojis. Seriously, how come it took so long for the iconic horror movie killer to finally be in the item shop??
But the excitement doesn’t end there. A lot of players are anticipating Mothman’s skin rather than Ghostface, and Puppy_girl25’s simple “We got moth man!’ and prestostorm99’s “I love the moth skin!” comment show that. Mothman in Fortnite is such an unexpected yet excellent choice – like who would have thought of that? But it goes perfectly with Fortnitemares, which every year introduces the game to spooky and supernatural themes.
Moreover, there are some ambiguities in the comments too. Some users are still asking “Where is art?” or saying “art is missin” which suggests there could be more skins or content that is not completely out yet. Is it possible that there is more coming which even the leaks couldn’t reveal? Fortnite usually keeps surprises for the players, especially for the major seasonal events like this.
There seems to be a lot of curiosity regarding the banner itself. User HeadhunterBoi tweeted “OOOOOH NEW BANNER!!!!” with the excited emojis while migitvilliger noted “Terrifier on Fortnite’s Twitter banner” – which, if true, would mean that Art the Clown from the Terrifier horror movies could be joining in on the game. To meet this character on the battlefield would be very terrifying, to say the least.
However, the majority of replies appear to be very positive. User 0shieteYo_ openly stated “Yeah buying everything” – this probably reflects the sentiment of most Fortnite players when they come across such leaks. Wallets are not ready but hearts are. And AngerGotZaZa called them “my 🐐’s” (which means GOATs for those unfamiliar with the Internet lingo) suggesting that players are already falling in love with these skin designs.
Fortnitemares has always been a draw for players to Fortnite, with Halloween-themed gameplay, map decorations all over, and of course the frighteningly fun skins that players adore and get crazy for. Last year vampires were hunting and superheroes were perishing, but 2025 seems to be the year that children and the like will be messing around with real horror movie icons. Ghostface alone is huge – he is one of the most famous and most horror-like characters for all along the line, and having him in Fortnite is like a major crossover.
Also, the timing of the leaks is quite significant – we are still in 2025, hence Fortnitemares won’t be happening until October. But Epic Games very often goes very far in the future with their planning and leaks happen months before the official release. It give players huge amounts of time to get their V-Bucks and get ready to buy all the new cosmetics as soon as they are finally released.
The fan reactions to these early reveals are really interesting to observe. The excitement is so enormous – people are making their shopping lists, speculating about which other skins may come alongside, and just being generally excited for Fortnite’s Halloween party. Even though we are months away from being able to use these skins, anticipation is already huge in a good way.
Fortnite continues to win crossover battle taking all possible characters from different franchises – Marvel, Star Wars, horror movie icons – all of them have been in it. And that is what rejuvenates the game every year; moreover, it is Fortnitemares that delivers the players the most creative and desired skins. So if the leaks are right, then 2025 is going to be the best year for Fortnite when the best lineup of Fortnitemares ever will be.
So, it may be a good idea to set a reminder for October 2025? Or just start accumulating those V-Bucks already because Ghostface, Mothman and who knows, what else Epic has up their sleeves, this whole Fortnitemares event is to be epic beyond comprehension. The hype is definitely there, the skins are hot, and the Fortnite players simply cannot resist but to count down the days to when they will unleash these new spooky cosmetics on their enemies and scare them.
The game also has upcoming crossovers like Huggy Wuggy from Poppy Playtime. Additionally, players on PlayStation and Xbox are enjoying other titles like Ghost of Yotei.
