Last year’s Fortnitemares was extremely packed with microtransactions, with the Fortnite item shop averaging a new collab skin every other day over the course of October. And it may be that Fortnitemares 2025 will be even more crowded, with long-rumored collabs with Scream, Friday the 13th, and Scooby-Doo expected to appear in the Fortnite shop during spooky season. But now there’s a new rumor about yet another Fortnitemares collab–KPop Demon Hunters.
The exact nature of the Fortnite x KPOP Demon Hunters collab isn’t clear at all right now, since the entire leak is just HypeX saying that it’s “the main Halloween collab” and that it’s “not just skins.” If true, this would presumably mean that there will be some new KPop Demon Hunters-related gameplay mechanic, like a new weapon or other item. Though since Fortnitemares is also rumored to have a Jason Voorhees medallion and Ghostface’s mythic knife, the KPop Demon Hunters collab would have to be even more involved with that.
The new season of Fortnite Festival begins on October 9, and so it’s possible that HUNTR/X will be the new season headliners. Epic previously promised the upcoming Festival season would be focused on Fortnite-original stuff, but that just means they had a plan that would have been very easy to pivot away from if they had the chance to swap in a collab with the biggest Netflix movie ever.
Fortnitemares 2025 is expected to start in early October, but we don’t know for sure when it will be just yet. Even so, there have been plenty of leaks about what we can expect to see from this year’s spooky festivities, and you can read all about them here.
