🎃 Fortnitemares 2026 — what’s live

It’s live now (v42.30, Oct 1–31). For the new Sprites in detail — powers, finishes and where to farm them — see the Fortnitemares Sprite farming guide →

Vampire (heal when you damage enemies), Spooky Dash (Mythic — dash charges that phase through objects), The Deer (99 Nights in the Forest collab — stronger melee) and Dumpster Dive (foraged food heals more). Full powers, finishes and where to farm each are in the Fortnitemares Sprite farming guide. — Epic (v42.30) / Vice

The Halloween “Trick-or-Treat” recolour (24 Sprites) is datamined for Oct 8 — not generally obtainable yet. (The Crown’s Trick-or-Treat is reachable earlier only via the Crown Victory-Royale chain, i.e. winning with the Bounty Hunter Crown — a niche progression unlock, not the general drop.) It’s a cosmetic finish that keeps each Sprite’s base ability. — Sprite Checklist / The Click

The mid-event wave landed Oct 15 (v42.40): Honey (Design-a-Sprite winner — sends bees after enemies who damage you) and One Wish Willow (the Mythic crossover Sprite from the horror film “Obsession” — eliminate an enemy and it extracts the Sprite they had equipped for you to grab, and it shoves nearby enemies back when you take damage; removing it pings your location). Both shipped with all six finishes. These are the season’s last new Sprites. — Epic (v42.40) / Vice

Live: Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria is a new POI, and the four animatronics (Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy) appear as bosses — beating them is one way to get the Vampire Sprite. — Epic (trailer Sep 27)

Ghostface content is in the event, including a Ghostface knife item in the Fortnitemares loot. — The Click / Dexerto

Epic-confirmed for the event — Charlie, Vaggie & Alastor outfits expected in the Item Shop around/after the Oct 15 update. Skins, not a Sprite. — Epic (event post) / Vice

Epic-confirmed among the month’s Fortnitemares crossovers. A cosmetic skin collab, not a Sprite. — Epic (event post) / Vice

Datamined and expected after the Oct 15 update; no Item Shop date confirmed yet. A skin collab, not a Sprite. — ShiinaBR / Vice (datamine)

Listed among the month’s Fortnitemares crossovers. Cosmetic collab, not a Sprite. — ShiinaBR / Insider Gaming

Teased/reported for the event; timing unconfirmed. Cosmetic collab. — ShiinaBR / community

A Universal Halloween Horror Nights tie-in (HamiKuma) is among the leaked crossovers; unconfirmed. — ShiinaBR / Dexerto

Also floated by leakers with a “(?)” — League of Legends, Metal Sonic and The Exorcist, plus “more.” Treat as rumors until Epic confirms. (All skins; only One Wish Willow — the “Obsession” crossover — is a Sprite this wave.) — ShiinaBR

Squad up with friends and survive themed horror Islands together to earn free “Thrills & Chills” Fortnitemares cosmetics — the announcement shows a stitched teddy-bear outfit, ghostly reaching hands, a crowbar pickaxe, plus a spray and loading screen. Cosmetics, not Sprites, but free for playing the event with a squad. — Epic (Fortnite social)

The Loot Hacks pool refreshed with Fortnitemares items — the Pumpkin Launcher and Slap Candy Corn joined the Infantry Rifle, LMG and Last Call. — Epic (v42.30)

Battlewoods became Gravegate, the old Arcade is now Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria, and a new Nightmare Neighborhood POI appeared. — Epic (v42.30)

Halloween mobility and melee items including the Witch Broom and Chainsaw are back for the event. — The Click

Get ready: fill in your Sprite checklist, grab free Sprite Dust from Lobby Hack codes, watch the Loot Hacks rotation, and see what carries over at the season transition.
