The Nightmare Comes to Fortnite: A Spooky Saga
Let’s rewind the clock a bit. The Pumpkin King and Sally skins made their grand entrance into the Fortnite universe during Chapter 5 Season 4, riding the ghostly coattails of update v31.40. These characters were the stars of Fortnitemares 2024, bringing a touch of Tim Burton’s macabre magic to the battle royale sensation.
For those who might have been living under a gravestone, Sally (née Finklestein) is the lovable, stitched-together deuteragonist of “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” and Jack’s not-so-secret admirer. As for the Pumpkin King? Well, that’s none other than Jack Skellington himself, donning his most terrifying disguise – a fiery jack-o’-lantern atop his skeletal frame.
But here’s where it gets really exciting: these skins aren’t just for show in the main battle royale mode. Oh no, Epic Games has gone the extra mile (or should we say, the extra scare?) by making these characters playable in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey. Imagine building your very own Halloween Town, brick by spooky brick, with Jack and Sally leading the charge. It’s a dream come true for fans of both Fortnite and Burton’s twisted fairytale world.
Now, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty of how you can add these iconic characters to your Fortnite locker.
