Five Nights at Freddy’s is joining Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 as part of Fortnitemares 2026, arriving on October 1, 2026. The Fortnite x Five Nights at Freddy’s collaboration launches alongside the rest of Fortnitemares 2026 on October 1, a date Epic had already locked in for the event’s broader Halloween update. With the FNAF partnership now confirmed on top of that, the October 1 patch is shaping up to be one of the season’s biggest content drops. Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria itself looks likely to become a new named location on the Chapter 7 Season 4 map for the duration of the event, similar to how past collabs have temporarily reshaped points of interest.
Following months of leaks and speculation, Epic Games has officially announced one of the most requested crossovers in Fortnite history. Each character is confirmed to come with a Withered edit style, giving players a battle-damaged alternate look for every skin in the lineup.
The skins will also be reactive in combat, according to Fortnite leaker HYPEX. The reveal came via a new trailer posted by the developers, and fans are extremely excited about this collaboration. With only few days to go, we take a detailed look at everything you need to know about the upcoming Fortnite x Five Nights at Freddy’s collaboration. The trailer showcases four of the franchise’s most iconic animatronics joining the game as playable skins: Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy. The trailer shows both Bonnie and Freddy losing parts of their faces after being struck with a Pickaxe, mirroring the unsettling, worn-down look the animatronics take on throughout the FNAF games. Beyond cosmetics, the trailer teases what looks like a dedicated game mode built around the source material. Footage shows Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria recreated in-game, with players tasked with surviving the night and defeating the animatronics as bosses. In a twist that leans into the horror franchise’s identity, players who defeat a boss can apparently transform into that animatronic themselves.

The trailer’s closing moments feature The Living Tombstone’s well-known FNAF 1 theme song, strongly hinting that a matching Jam Track is on the way as part of the collaboration. After being teased and rumored for weeks, the Five Nights at Freddy’s collaboration is now Epic’s official centerpiece for Fortnitemares 2026. Pricing and the complete bundle list haven’t been detailed yet, so you will need to wait for the October 1 Item Shop rotation to see the full breakdown.
