Fortnite confirms Five Nights at Freddy's for Fortnitemares on October 1

Fortnite has officially confirmed the Five Nights at Freddy's crossover for Fortnitemares 2026. Epic's Halloween event starts on October 1 and brings Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria onto the Battle Royale map.

What arrives

Fortnite adds Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy as animatronic bosses. The pizzeria becomes a point of interest with security cameras and jumpscares. There is also an experience inspired by the original formula: survive the night while the animatronics hunt players.

Epic's line: the Fazbear Band has taken over Battle Royale. Face the bosses and survive the night if you can.

Skins and cosmetics

Fortnite confirms skins for Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy, including Withered styles. Coverage also cites themed Kicks, back blings, band instrument cosmetics and the ability to transform into bosses to hunt other players after defeating them. Specific emotes have not been fully detailed in official materials.

Why it matters

Fans asked for this Fortnite collab for years. Creator Scott Cawthon is protective of the IP, which kept rumors alive until the trailer. Fortnitemares 2026 includes other horror skins, but the pizzeria crossover is the season's most anticipated drop.
