With the upcoming Halloween event now confirmed for tomorrow, it looks like Fortnite players have even more to look forward to! For those seasoned Epic Games fans that remember that iconic Pumpkin Launcher from the battle royale game in its infancy, get ready – because it’s coming back!
The beloved Launcher first made its appearance last year during the game’s first-ever Fortnitemares event. Now it looks like it could be coming back, at least if this tweet from the game’s design lead is anything to go by:
