Fortnitemares 2026 is about to get another horror heavyweight in the form of Obsession. The 2026 horror film that became a surprise box office hit, is joining Fortnite with a Nikki skin and a small set of matching cosmetics.Epic Games has recently posted an official announcement for the shop drop, with leakers piecing together the contents that the bundle will be featuring. In the section below, we take a detailed look at the Fortnite x Obsession collaboration.
Fortnite x Obsession collaboration release date
As per the recent announcement made by Epic Games, the Obsession bundle will arrive in Fortnite on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET. The official reveal of the contents will likely be made a day earlier on Tuesday, October 20. In other time zones, that’s midnight UTC and already October 22 in places across Asia.The crossover didn’t come out of nowhere. Epic first released a promotional trailer for the film in the summer, which led dataminer HYPEX to predict a Halloween collaboration. The Fortnitemares 2026 trailer on September 29 then flashed the film’s “One Wish Willow” item along with a Capstone Studios copyright credit, confirming Obsession would be part of the event in some form. The One Wish Willow Sprite subsequently arrived on October 15 with the v42.40 update, alongside the encrypted Nikki files.
What’s in the Fortnite x Obsession bundle
According to leaks from HYPEX, the Obsession bundle includes:
- Nikki Freeman (Outfit): Based on the film’s lead, played by Inde Navarrette, in her “Freaky Nikki” look
- Back Bling
- Pickaxe
- Emote: Uses a prop and has a special version when performed with the Nikki skin
Leakers also say Nikki will have a unique lobby idle animation. On her look, leakers describe the character’s red zebra-print top and skirt from the movie. A rumor that the skin might show blood on her face remains unconfirmed, and it largely stems from Fortnite’s recently added “animated blood” warning.
What about Bear?
Only Nikki is confirmed in the files so far. A skin based on Bear, the film’s other main character, is unconfirmed, and one outlet earlier said it was unlikely. Bear’s One Wish Willow item has, however, become a collectible in the form of the Sprite.

Fortnite x Obsession bundle price
No price has leaked. Collab Outfits in Fortnite typically cost between 1,500 and 2,000 V-Bucks, with bundles costing more, so expect the full set to land higher. That’s an estimate, not a confirmed figure.Obsession was a low-budget phenomenon, and one report says it grossed over $500 million against a budget under $1 million. Its place in Fortnitemares, alongside Five Nights at Freddy’s, Freddy Krueger, Slender Man, and others, shows how quickly Epic is moving to cash in on horror hits.If you want Nikki, plan to check the Item Shop on October 21 at 8 PM ET. Until Epic confirms the details, treat the price and exact cosmetic list as leaks rather than facts.
