Fortnite's Spooky Month Kicks off With Five Nights at Freddy's Crossover

Epic Games' announcement of a Fortnite and Five Nights at Freddy's crossover has become the most-liked post on the platform's social media, surpassing the likes of dragon ball z and naruto reveals. Characters from Scott Cawthon's horror series will join Fortnite next month, ahead of the game's annual Halloween event. FNAF fans are extremely excited about this collaboration, which has even surpassed the likes of Epic Games' own reveal of bringing back the game's original map for an OG mode.

The trailer confirms that Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, and Foxy will all receive Fortnite skins, along with other cosmetic items. A Five Nights at Freddy's location within the game is also set to be featured, already visible on the battle royale's Island map. FNAF has been a highly requested Fortnite crossover for years, with numerous sequels, spin-offs, novels, and movies.

The game's skins are expected to launch on October 1 during Fortnitemares, which will run for an extended month. Another mini-season is anticipated following the Halloween event, similar to previous popular collaborations. Fortnite is expected to relaunch its Chapter 8 soon after.
