Epic Games has announced the arrival of Power Leveling weekend in its hit battle royale game Fortnite. Today through early Sunday morning, players can log into the game to unlock a Supercharged XP perk, helping them rake in more points during gameplay to unlock Battle Pass items at a faster rate.
This weekend will bring Fortnite's first-ever player-vs-environment (PvE) tournament, giving everyone a chance to battle for a few Halloween-themed rewards. The Fortnitemares Cup will task Fortnite players with teaming up in squads and playing five matches of the newly reintroduced Horde Rush LTM.
As Epic previously teased, Fortnite's Horde Rush LTM is back again, tasking players with destroying as many cube monsters as possible. The LTM comes with related quests that some players feel have too high of requirements, though whether Epic ends up making adjustments is yet to be seen. Among other things, this year's LTM brings a new map.
Fornite's next big crossover involves the new Dune movie, which is set to hit theaters and the HBO Max streaming service in a couple of days. The movie's two main characters have arrived on the battle royale island alongside related emotes and other goods, giving fans of both products the chance to bring the two together.
Epic has released a new series of downloadable content based on its hit game Fortnite, enabling fans to print foldable projects for fun.

Following the conclusion of its first crossover series, DC Comics has announced another Batman comic book set in the Fortnite universe. The upcoming product is called 'Foundation' and it will arrive for fans later this month. The one-shot offering, DC says, will be available later this month with special perks for buyers.
KAWS isn't letting a good opportunity to cross-brand go to waste with the latest Fortnite fashion crossover. Technically KAWS isn't just a fashion element, the artist behind the skulls being a man whose art has more of a basis in graffiti, but still, this fits the bill. Fortnite's latest collaboration is just in time for Halloween in the spookiest month of the year, October of 2021.
With the court ruling on Epic Games lawsuit against Apple, you probably thought that the drama over Fortnite on mobile has finally come to an end. Apple, however, wasn't the only one that the Fortnite creator sued last year since it also accused Google of anti-competitive behavior over the same game on Google Play Store. That case still hasn't been resolved, but Google is turning the tables on the game publishing giant with a breach of contract suit that reveals a rather curious situation unique to the Google Play Store only.
Back in August, Epic Games rolled out a new game mode for Fortnite called Fortnite Impostors. The mode was a Fortnite-themed take on the Mafia/Werewolf party game made popular in video game format by Among Us, which exploded in popularity during the pandemic. There was just one problem with the rollout of Fortnite Impostors, as there was no mention of Among Us - a game it clearly drew inspiration from - anywhere to be seen.
Epic Games plans to release another update for its hit battle royale game Fortnite in the early morning hours tomorrow, the company has revealed. With the announcement comes the related details for players who want to know what to expect, including when the downtime will start. As always, the game will be unavailable to play during downtime.
We're currently in the midst of Fortnite's returning Fortnitemares event, and it looks like a teaser we saw over the weekend has panned out precisely as expected. A couple of days ago, Epic teased a new addition to the Fortnitemares outfit lineup by way of an unrevealed Fortnite Fortune Card. That card - the final one in the first set of Fortune Cards - teased a new outfit for Fortnitemares by depicting a cowboy hat with a sheriff's badge attached to it.
Earlier this week, Epic Games introduced Fortnitemares 2021, the latest Halloween event in its hit battle royale game Fortnite. One of the things introduced as part of this year's Fortnitemares is Fortune Cards, which tease the new skins that will arrive in the game's Item Shop. The first week's skins have almost entirely been revealed, but there's one left and it sure looks like a Walking Dead crossover.
