Arachnophobes beware – a giant spider heads up Fortnite’s Halloween decorations

Today is the first day of October, and as a result, things are about to get spooky. We’re still a month away from Halloween, of course, but that’s not about to stop the gaming community from getting their decorations ready. And it should come as no surprise that Fortnite is proving no exception.

The battle royale’s Halloween celebrations have already started appearing around the map. Players have taken to Reddit and Twitter, showing off the most recent additions to the constantly-evolving game.

At the moment, the focus seems to be on Fortnite’s more residential areas. Tilted Towers has seen some changes, with ghosts being suspended from a number of streetlights throughout the game’s deadliest drop-spot. Further north, however, in Pleasant Park, things are looking very spooky indeed. In the wooden house in the south-east, there are a few more ghosts, but in the small house on the other side of town, Epic has gone all-out. That house is almost entirely covered with cobwebs, and if that weren’t enough to set your arachnophobia tingling, there’s a giant spider lurking in the front garden.

Knowing Epic, the game’s Halloween content is likely to roll out gradually over the next few weeks – there’s a lot of hype on the subreddit, hoping for everything from more decorations all the way up to fog rolling across the map. Many players are also hoping that last year’s Halloween skin, Skull Trooper, will make a return to the game.

You can check out some screenshots of the new decorations in the tweet above. My guess would be that some of the other residential spots across the map will be getting spooky soon, so keep an eye on Salty Springs and Retail Row over the course of the next month.
