Fortnitemares 2021 (aka. Fortnitemares: Wrath of the Cube Queen) was the 5th Fortnitemares Event in Fortnite, with the Hexsylvania Venture returning for Save the World and the "Wrath of the Cube Queen" in Battle Royale.

Wrath of the Cube Queen[]

Introduction[]

The ruler of the Cubes The Cube Queen emerges, ushering in the next phase of Fortnitemares 2021. The Wrath of The Cube Queen is now upon the Island.

The Cube Queen Seizes Control[]

The Cube Queen’s emergence brings changes to the Island.

Since Fortnitemares began (and even before), the Cubes have been mobilizing. Their migration towards the Island’s center wasn’t just to spread corruption they’re now at the center forming The Convergence. What is the purpose of this mysterious structure?

The Convergence - Promo - Fortnite

You’ve come across the Cubes and fought back the Cube Monsters, but a new force has joined their ranks: Caretakers are The Cube Queen’s strongest warriors yet. Tall, foreboding, shadowy apparitions, their spectral tendrils pull you directly into The Sideways for a showdown on their home turf. Survive a Caretaker’s assault and you’ll walk away all the richer.

Things don’t end there. The Cube Queen’s wrath has given rise to a new Sideways weapon the sinister Sideways Scythe as well as returning items like Witch Brooms and the Pumpkin Rocket Launcher. Use the Scythe and these wicked supplies to hold your own in battle.

Candy has also made a return, this time with the new Zero Point Pretzel in the mix.

Horde Rush Returns[]

Horde Rush is back! The Cube Monsters are pushing out of the Sideways and into our realm. Fight alongside your teammates to rack up your score by finding score multipliers, earning combos, and eliminating as many monsters as you can. To win, survive at locations across the map and take down the Final Boss!

Horde Rush - Promo - Fortnite

The Horde Rush LTM will be live from October 19 at 9 AM ET to November 2 at 9 AM ET, but not just on its own. There’ll also be Horde Rush Quests you can complete for special rewards! Unlock the Thinking Juice Back Bling, a Cube Queen Banner, and the Cuddle Scream Leader Spray.

Also, be on the lookout for a Horde Rush Tournament this week with more Locker items to earn! Practice the mode with your squad ahead of time to prepare. More details will be available soon in a blog post and the Compete tab in-game. As the cards foretold, Cubic chaos has been unleashed in Fortnitemares 2021. Fun awaits amid the madness:

Help an Oracle, Ariana Grande and A Ghostbuster for Special Rewards[]

The Horde Rush Quests are just some of the Wrath of The Cube Queen Quests, and the Horde Rush rewards are just some of the rewards! Available from October 19 at 9 AM ET to November 2 at 9 AM ET, Hollowhead will present you the Fortnitemares Punchcard. Here are its objectives and rewards!

1. Complete general Fortnitemares Quests to unlock the Raven’s Curse Spray, the Midnight Showdown Loading Screen, and Wrathful Breakout Contrail. Fortnitemares Challenges 2021 - Promo - Fortnite

Punchcards Pack a Punch + Power Leveling Weekends Return![]

Not just in Fortnitemares, Daily and Weekly Punchcards have been expanded and reworked, now offering additional objectives and more XP for each completion. We’ve replaced the “Spend Bars” and “Place Top 10 with Friends” Quests with new Quests that rotate weekly. Each Daily Punchcard reward has recently been upgraded to 45,000 XP (previously 30,000 XP), while completing Quests in your Weekly Punchcard rewards 75,000 XP (previously 50,000 XP). To help celebrate Fortnitemares 2021, two Power Leveling Weekends are coming soon! Log in from October 22 at 7 PM ET - October 25 at 7 AM ET and October 29 at 7 PM ET - November 1 at 7 AM ET to unlock a Supercharged XP bonus and level up faster whenever you play. This supercharged pool is free to use at your leisure, but you can only get it during the Power Leveling Weekend.

Iconic creatures include the Universal Pictures-inspired Frankenstein’s Monster and The Mummy, part of the Universal Monsters Set! Keep up with the card flip page and our social channels to see when they storm into the Item Shop. (The Mummy will also be lurching on the Island as a Character later in the month, trying to find his way home to the Underworld.)
