One, two… Freddy’s coming for you. Robert Englund’s legendary Freddy Krueger is turning dreams into nightmares on the Fortnite map now!
Fortnite’s Fortnitemares 2026 is officially underway, and the first chilling collaborations are already crawling out of the shadows! After Five Nights at Freddy’s stormed the Item Shop following the latest update, all the spooky teasers pointed towards the arrival of a true Hollywood horror icon. And today, the boiler room doors have finally creaked open, unleashing Robert Englund’s legendary Freddy Krueger on the Fortnite island!
You heard that right, horror fans—Freddy Krueger is now available in the Item Shop, and he’s bringing the nightmares of A Nightmare on Elm Street with him. From his iconic finger-bladed glove to his sinister stalking emote, this terrifying set is packed with gruesome goodies inspired by the classic horror franchise.
And Fortnite isn’t stopping there! Epic has unleashed an atmospheric new trailer to celebrate Freddy’s arrival, and it’s every bit as creepy as you’d expect. With Fortnitemares only just getting started, this could be shaping up to be one of Fortnite’s best Halloween events yet!
GREETINGS FROM THE BOILER ROOM!
Cool, huh? Epic Games has absolutely knocked this bundle out of the park, and they’ve gone the extra mile by bringing Robert Englund himself back to voice his iconic horror alter ego! That’s right—the legendary Freddy Krueger sounds exactly as he should, making this already spectacular Fortnitemares arrival feel even more authentic.
Priced at a cool 2,300 V-Bucks, this set is more than reasonably priced—and with seven items packed inside, it feels like an absolute steal! The full bundle includes the Freddy Krueger Outfit, his iconic finger-bladed glove, a suitably sinister weapons wrap, a Boiler Room Back Bling, the creepy Stalking Emote, a pair of stylish Kicks, and a Festival Instrument.
That’s more than enough nightmare fuel to bring Freddy’s signature brand of vengeance to the Fortnite island! Check out the full set below, then read on for the complete breakdown.

RELEASE
I don’t know about you guys, but for me, this is peak Fortnite. The attention to detail is absolutely outstanding, and Epic Games has genuinely captured the essence of one of Hollywood’s most iconic horror villains. From the instantly recognizable look to Robert Englund’s unmistakable voice, everything about this set screams A Nightmare on Elm Street.
And finally, horror fans can put Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, and Jason Voorhees together in a trio and create the ultimate horror movie triple threat! Honestly, who wouldn’t want to see that squad stalking the Fortnite island? It’s a crossover nightmare come true!
Freddy brought his special brand of vengeance to the Item Shop last night and will be available to purchase until November 17. So head to the boiler room, slip on Freddy’s iconic glove, and get ready to stalk your prey like you’re roaming the streets of Elm Street!
I’ll see you out there… if you survive the night!
