- Fortnitemares 2025 is rumored to begin on October 10.
- The Halloween update will bring crossovers like Scooby Doo, Friday the 13th and more.
- The update will be active in-game until Chapter 6 Season 4 ends on November 1.
Fortnite is known for its seasonal events and collabs that keep its player base engaged throughout the year. Whether it’s an Easter update, Winterfest in Christmas, or Fortnitemares in Halloween, players tune in large numbers to celebrate their favorite holiday with their friends in the game and grab free skins and offers running during that time.
While Winterfest and Easter have their own charm, Fortnitemares is a staple of all seasonal events that players look forward to as the entire island turns spooky, and Fortnite’s user base loves a good scare. Previous Fortnitemares installations brought Zombies, Witches, and even Chainsaw killers to the game; this year, collaborations will rule the Halloween in Fortnite.
Here’s everything we know so far about Fortnitemares 2025, including its release date, collabs, and gameplay additions.
When is Fortnitemares 2025? Release Date Speculation
Each year, Fortnite drops its much-awaited Halloween update on October 10, just three weeks before Halloween day. Last year’s update was also released during the same window. So this year, in 2025, expect Fortnitemares 2025 to start on Friday, October 10, 2025, in a brand new hotfix.
However, the content will remain in the game until November 1, as Chapter 6 Season 4 ends that day with a mini-event, which will bring the highly rumored Chapter 6 Mini Season 2 with a Simpson collab throughout Battle Royale.
Every Leaked Fortnitemares 2025 Collab
Jason Voorhees and Ghostface
The menacing killer from the Friday the 13th film series, Jason Voorhees, is rumored to come to Fortnite with Fortnitemares 2025 and is poised to get his own in-game skin.
Furthermore, Voorhees will also get his own medallion in the game that players will be able to claim to get special abilities. However, we speculate that the medallion will be a part of Blitz, similar to the One Punch Man medallion.
If you’re not a Jason fan and like Ghostface instead, fret not, because Ghostface is also rumored to be a part of Fortnitemares 2025 and will bring his own special mythic weapon called Stalker Knife along with him as an in-game outfit.
The character will also get his own medallion; however, it isn’t confirmed if it will be in the Battle Royale or a new mode altogether.
Scooby Doo
As per leaks, Scooby Doo is another popular collab that will make its way to the Item Shop during Fortnitemares 2025 event. In the collab, Scooby will get his own in-game skin, alongwith his best friend Shaggy, accompanying him with multiple skins or unique styles of his own.
That’s not all – his signature vehicle, the Mystery Machine, will also be added to the shop as a vehicle for players to get. It isn’t confirmed if the rest of the crew members, like Fred, Daphne, and Velma, will be getting their skins or not.
R.E.P.O
Popular survival horror game R.E.P.O. is also a strong contender to appear in Fortnite during its annual Halloween event, as it’s already leaked by trustworthy sources.
Players will get character skins and emotes in the Item Shop; however, not much info about the alleged collab is available at this moment.
