New coverage confirms Fortnite’s Five Nights at Freddy’s crossover is set to launch with Fortnitemares on 1 October. The annual Halloween event often brings horror crossovers, themed Battle Royale locations and limited-time items, making the collaboration part of the game’s wider spooky-season update.

The trailer featured Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria and the animatronics Freddy, Chica, Bonnie and Foxy, who players will need to avoid being eliminated by. The article says players may be able to take over animatronics by sneaking up behind them, and that skins are expected in the Item Shop. Fortnite’s announcement gained 100,000 likes on X within an hour; update downtime is expected to begin at 4am ET.
