After months of rumblings (and the internet collectively holding its breath), Fortnite finally teamed up with Five Nights at Freddy’s. The announcement broke records on social media, and yes — the pizzeria vibes are officially coming to the Item Shop.
Drop date — when to be online
The crossover lands on Thursday, October 1 as part of Fortnitemares 2026. If you’ve been waiting to roam a pixelated Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria or to spook your squad, that’s your D-Day.
Which skins are arriving?
The confirmed characters hitting the shop are Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Foxy, and a Girl skin (the human-style outfit). Expect the usual batch of extras too — emotes, music, and other spooky trimmings to complete the look.
Price and buying options
Epic hasn’t posted official prices yet, but similar collaborations typically bundle everything for roughly 4,500 V-Bucks, with individual skins sometimes available separately. In short: bundles are for the greedy collectors, singles are for the picky shoppers.
Quick tips before you spend
Only want one animatronic? Wait for standalone purchases. Want the whole haunted set? Buy the bundle if you’ve got the V-Bucks — it usually works out cheaper. And pro tip: Fortnitemares drops tend to get snatched up fast, so don’t dilly-dally.
The bottom line
October 1 is the date to remember. If you’re into creepy-cute chaos, clear some V-Bucks and get ready to stalk the island as a malfunctioning mascot. Welcome to Freddy’s — just don’t fall asleep on the job.
