This is the first Fortnitemares 2018 teaser image released by Epic Games this week that has not contained imagery of what many to believe a new skin that will become available when the Halloween themed Fortnite event begins. The third Fortnitemares 2018 teaser image that was released on Monday, October 21st began a great deal of speculation and wishful thinking in the community for the popular battle royale title that the currently vaulted Revolver weapon could be returning in the Fortnitemares 2018 even in its previous or a new and improved form. 

There has also been speculation that the Revolver could be used as the main focus of a new game mode that will be coming to the title for the Halloween event. 

Each of the four teaser images have also been accompanied by a stanza for a very mysterious poem teasing the upcoming event. You can find the poem in its current form below. 

Costumes and dancing,
Partner up, be wise.
They could be friendly,
Or a ghoul in disguise.

Tombstones quake,
Keep you fingers steady.
The circle will close, 
Better be ready.

Take the shot, 
If you have enough to last. 
The wind calls out, 
"Fill your chambers, fast."

The crack of lightning
Illuminates your wins 
Arise, dark ones- 
The fight begins.

However, all that is confirmed to take place in the Fortnitemares 2018 Halloween themed Fortnite Battle Royale event set to begin tomorrow is that a new set of spooky challenges will be arriving that will give players an opportunity to earn some new and terrifyingly awesome rewards. With Epic Games' track record of delivering unexpected and often well received pieces of content during these kinds of in-game events, players should not be surprised to see the battle royale developer pull out some spooky tricks and treats when the action kicks off tomorrow.
