Universal Reveals Fortnite-Inspired Halloween Horror Nights Scare Zone
Universal Studios is opening a Fortnite-inspired scare zone at Halloween Horror Nights across its Orlando and Hollywood parks. The new attraction, based on Fortnitemares—Fortnite’s flagship annual Halloween event—debuts August 28 at Universal Orlando Resort and September 3 at Universal Studios Hollywood.
The scare zone creates an immersive experience that combines authentic Fortnite-themed elements with original content developed exclusively for the theme parks. Guests navigate the attraction with the objective of escaping the zone and claiming victory, drawing inspiration from Fortnite’s core battle royale gameplay and visual aesthetic.
This partnership represents a continued expansion of video game intellectual property into physical theme park experiences. Halloween Horror Nights has increasingly incorporated crossovers between major gaming franchises and horror entertainment, demonstrating the appeal of hybrid attractions for fans of interactive media.
The Fortnitemares scare zone is among several gaming and horror property collaborations featured at Halloween Horror Nights this season, highlighting the entertainment industry’s growing focus on bringing beloved video game experiences to life in real-world settings.
