The previous Fortnitemares started two weeks before Halloween on October 16, 2020. Since the devs release update patches every two weeks in Fortnite, the event’s files will probably be added in patch 18.20 or 18.30.
Based on this, it seems likely that the start date of Fortnitemares 2021 will be close to the one for last year’s Halloween-themed event.
