Alan Wake is coming to Fortnite

A spooky crossover for the spooky season.

October is a spooky month, so you can expect plenty of scary games, including Remedy’s Alan Wake 2. This isn’t the only time you’ll see the titular hero, as he’ll also be coming to Fortnite. Epic Games is both Fortnite and Alan Wake 2‘s publisher, so it was only a matter of time before the collaboration happened.

In the trailer, Wake is seen in a black suit as he slides across the floor and blasts away at his enemies. He isn’t the only spooky character coming to Fortnite during the Fortnitemares event this month. Michael Myers from Halloween is seen holding a knife, and Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas also makes an appearance in the trailer.
