Fornitemares is now in full swing, with a host of spooky new characters making their way to the battle royale phenomenon \u2013 most notably Jack Skellington from Tim Burton\u2019s The Nightmare Before Christmas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fortnitemares<\/a> kicked off on 10th October and is scheduled to run until 3rd November 2023, so there isn\u2019t too long to get in on the action.<\/p>\n

Alongside the self-appointed Pumping King, other notable pop culture faces set to appear include Michael Myers<\/a> from Halloween, as well as Alan Wake<\/a> ahead of the American novelist\u2019s sequel.<\/p>\n

Whether or not Jack Skellington will remain until after the event has ended is yet to be confirmed. The good news is that Fortnite does regularly rotate its ever-expanding list of characters, and does occasionally bring back previous ones in case you miss out.<\/p>\n

So, how do you get Jack Skellington in Fortnite? Head below for all the details:<\/p>\n

When is the Fortnite Jack Skellington skin release date?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>No official release date for Jack Skellington has been announced<\/strong> by developer Epic Games, at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<p>We expect the Jack Skellington skin to be added to Fornite\u2019s in-game store very shortly, so keep an eye out for its arrival. We will then update this article once more details have been revealed.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to get the Fortnite Jack Skellington skin<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Jack Skellington is expected to be sold as a standalone character skin alongside being part of The Pumpkin King set within the Fortnite\u2019s in-game store<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, there doesn\u2019t appear to be any way to unlock the character by completing tasks or taking part in any events. The only way is to save up your V-Bucks or acquire more using real money.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside a Jack Skellington skin, The Pumpkin King set features Zero as a Back Bling, a Peppermint Parasol pickaxe, Jack\u2019s Sled as a Glider and a Jack\u2019s Scary Face emote.<\/p> <h2><strong>What price will the Fortnite Jack Skellington skin be?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Jack Skellington is an Epic Outfit in Fortnite, so based on that alone we would expect the skin to be priced at 1,500 V-Bucks. (1,000 V-Bucks tends to go for \u00a36.99, as a reference point.)<\/p>\n<p>The Pumping King set is likely to be priced higher, say around 2,000 to 2,500 V-Bucks.<\/p>\n<p>Again, nothing has been confirmed from Epic yet, aside from the confirmation that Jack Skellington and The Pumpkin King set is being added to Fortnite at some point.<\/p> <div class=\"brightcove embed\"> <div class=\"embedintrinsic\"> <div class=\"brightcoveplayer vjs-playlist-player-container\"> <video data-video-id=\"6338231434112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"default\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"video-js\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js\"\/> <p><strong>Listen to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/one-more-life-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One More Life podcast<\/a>, subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/gaming-newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free newsletter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">follow us on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest gaming intel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something to watch?
