Epic Games has confirmed that Five Nights at Freddy’s will feature in Fortnite’s 2026 Fortnitemares event. Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria will appear on the Battle Royale map, while Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy will act as animatronic bosses, making the crossover a major part of the game’s Halloween-themed content.

Fortnitemares begins on 1 October 2026, following months of rumours, teasers and earlier appearances linked to the pizzeria, security cameras and FNAF dialogue. The article also notes that Epic recently settled a legal case with former contractor Hayden Cohen, who agreed not to access, use or disclose the company’s confidential or trade-secret information.
