When Fortnite players aren’t leaping and flying around Dragon Ball Adventure Island, they can take a break to soak in some far more horrific sights thanks to a new promotion for the Junji Ito Maniac: Tales of the Macabre anime. NEIGHBOR Metaverse Studios worked some spooky magic in Creative Mode to help Netflix hype up the recently-launched series, and you can visit the Junji Ito Maniac Haunted House now by entering island code 9800-8851-4190 and adding it to your playlist here.
