Fortnite players who are fans of horror can immerse themselves in themes from Talk to Me, an upcoming A24 movie, on a new island on Fortnite. The movie tells the story of a friend group that discovers how to summon spirits and the gaming experience incorporates elements from the movie, such as making it through a torrential storm in the search for a haunted house.
Before the movie's release, players will get a peek at notable settings like the Séance Room and Hospital, before the game ends with a boss fight. Players who survive will get boasting rights, plus valuable loot and in-game experience.
This film and gaming crossover draws audiences right in, setting up the stakes for the importance of going against the spirits and monsters that hide in the dark.
