Fortnitemares 2025 Arrives October 9 with Over 25 Spooky Collaborations

The wait is over — Fortnitemares 2025, Fortnite’s annual Halloween event, has officially been confirmed. The celebration of all things spooky will kick off on October 9, bringing a wave of seasonal content, eerie aesthetics, and major collaborations to the island.

Each year, Fortnitemares transforms the Fortnite world into a Halloween playground. Players can expect pumpkins, skeletons, cobwebs, and other haunting decorations scattered across the map, along with location changes inspired by new crossover events.

Epic Games has already started teasing the update, with certain areas of the island redesigned as part of a collaboration with Netflix’s upcoming animated series KPOP Demon Hunters. More map updates are expected before the event launches, paving the way for the next major crossover season — The Simpsons.

A Bigger, Wilder Fortnitemares Than Ever

While the community has come to expect this annual event, Epic Games promises that Fortnitemares 2025 will be the biggest yet. This year’s edition will feature over 25 collaborations, introducing a mix of pop culture icons and fan-favorite franchises — including Doja Cat and Scooby-Doo, among others.

The event will roll out in two waves of skins:

• Wave 1 launches October 9, alongside the start of Fortnitemares.
• Wave 2 follows on October 23, featuring additional themed content — including a highly anticipated Poppy Playtime crossover.

With its massive lineup of partnerships, spooky atmosphere, and creative updates, Fortnitemares 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting seasonal events in Fortnite’s history. Players better get ready — Halloween on the island is about to get wild.
