Highly Anticipated Fortnite Collaboration Might Finally Happen (2024)

After reviewing Fortnite's upcoming downtime schedule, fans believe that there is a collaboration with Friday Nights at Freddy's on the way. The Fortnite community is always thinking ahead, trying to figure out what could be coming to the game based on leaks and social media posts made by the Fortnite team or other franchises interested in collaborating with the popular Battle Royale title. Throughout the years, there have been many particular franchises that always seem to pop up on the community's collaboration wishlist.

For years, gamers seemed certain that Peter Griffin and the Giant Chicken would make it into Fortnite. This claim was eventually transformed into an ever-present meme in the Fortnite community, as a Family Guy collab was a massive stretch. Nevertheless, both characters were eventually added to the roster of skins in Fortnite, but whether this was planned or due to the community's constant requests remains a mystery to this day.

Five Nights at Freddy's is one of the most anticipated Fortnite collaborations out there. Fans have been wanting the two massively popular games to come together for a crossover event, and it seems that the wait may soon be over. Fortnite revealed its downtime schedule in a recent Creator roadmap, showing that no updates would be coming for nearly a month due to summer break at Epic Games. Fans immediately noticed a familiar date on the update schedule: August 6, the date that the Five Nights at Freddy's team will announce their secret collab. This is the key information that has led gamers to believe Fortnite and Five Nights at Freddy will collaborate at the beginning of August.

When Will Fortnite and Five Nights at Freddy's Collaborate?

• If true, early August

This isn't the first time that fans have believed Fortnite and Five Nights at Freddy's to be working together. Back in 2021, encrypted audio files were found in the Fortnite game files with the code name was French Fry. These initials alone is what led gamers to believe the two games would be coming together soon. However, this was over three years ago, and nothing has happened since. Although many are still holding out for the collaboration, many others have lost hope.

The two games' communities have proven to work well together. There are several Creative Island maps with a Five Nights at Freddy's theme, and they're among the most popular games in Fortnite Creative. If a collab truly does happen in the future, it could include a series of Five Nights at Freddy's cosmetics and islands, perfect for gamers who enjoy some horrifying Creative maps.
