Spooky season is just days away, and Epic is dropping one of its most requested franchise collabs. For years, fans have been begging for a collab with the widely beloved Five Nights at Freddy's franchise, and it's finally happening on Fortnite.
Fortnite FNAF Release Date
FNAF comes to Fortnite with the Fortnitemares Halloween update. It's set for October 1, 2026, and will feature several new skins and possibly a brand-new game mode.
What is coming with the Fortnite FNAF Collab?
Brand-new FNAF Skins
As expected, characters from the beloved FNAF franchise will be receiving skins. The beloved animatronics from the first FNAF game, released in 2014, will be available as skins in Fortnite. This means that the original Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, and Foxy will all be purchasable as skins in the game.
So far, these are the confirmed characters that will make it into the collab. However, Golden Freddy didn't appear in the trailer. Instead, he will likely appear in some form, like an Easter Egg or a sprite, thanks to his prominence in the original Five Nights at Freddy's.
New POI
Epic confirmed that the update will include a brand-new POI for players to duke it out and loot. The famed pizzeria makes its way to the map, with a horror-related twist. The trailer seems to showcase players getting jump-scared while in the POI. Overall, this brand-new POI with a horror twist is set to shake things up.
Will there be a new game mode?
There has been no word on a brand-new game mode. But given Epic Games' tendencies, there is a good chance they'll release some sort of game mode. At the very least, they could add a brand-new quest for players to complete and earn rewards.
