Third Fortnitemares teaser image released for Fortnite Halloween event as mysterious poem continues

Epic Games have released yet another mysterious teaser for the upcoming ‘Fortnitemares’ Halloween event that will take place in both the Save the World and Battle Royale versions of Fortnite.

This is the third teaser image to have been released in as many days – the first, released on October 20, seemed to show an unreleased skin wearing what looks like Calamity’s hat, while the second shows a purple rune block trapped in chains.

Both came with snippets of a poem that seem to link together, and some fans of the game even believe that the images are pieces of a puzzle that will eventually make one large image.

Now the third image, released on October 22, has also been released along with the caption: 

“Take the shot, If you have enough to last. The wind calls out, ‘Fill your chambers, fast’.”

The image is quite clearly some sort of revolver pistol being held by a purple hand; it seems only natural that it is being held by the mysterious character that can be seen in the first image.

We’re not entirely how how, or if, it fits in with the puzzle that so many players are convinced is being created, but we’ll update you when we know more.

If one assumes that the three poem stanzas are linked and chronological, the entire thing so far reads:

Costumes and dancing, Partner up, be wise. They could be friendly, Or a ghoul in disguise.

Tombstones quake, Keep your finger steady. The circle will close, Better be ready.

Take the shot, If you have enough to last. The wind calls out, “Fill your chambers, fast”
