The Fortnite x Beetlejuice collaboration has been revealed. Get ready to let the juice loose with some great new emotes and cosmetics to make Fortnitemares better than ever!
Get ready to let the juice loose, Fortnite fans, because the Fortnite x Beetlejuice collaboration has officially been revealed! We’ve known for a while that the legendary bio-exorcist was lurking in the shadows of this year’s Fortnitemares, but Epic Games has kept us waiting to see Michael Keaton’s mischievous ghoul make his grand entrance. Meanwhile, The Slender Man, Five Nights at Freddy’s, The Purge, Hazbin Hotel, Freddy Krueger, and Obsession have each brought their own brand of chaos to the island. Yet, with Halloween fast approaching, there’s still no sign of Beetlejuice or Dek from Predator: Badlands.
Thankfully, that’s about to change! When the Item Shop refreshes tonight, it’s time to say his name three times and welcome Beetlejuice to Fortnite. He’s arriving with a bundle packed with juicy cosmetics and emotes, and the first look suggests this could be an instant Fortnitemares classic. Better still, we now know exactly what players can expect to get for their hard-earned V-Bucks!
THE BUNDLE
When Beetlejuice finally crashes into Fortnite, he’ll arrive sporting a convincing likeness of Michael Keaton and his instantly recognizable black-and-white striped suit. Naturally, this mischievous menace isn’t coming alone. His bundle includes two emotes, a Back Bling, a Pickaxe, a pair of Sandworm kicks, and a Weapon Wrap, giving players plenty of ways to bring a little afterlife mayhem to the island.
And rounding out the collection—or ramping up the price, depending on which side of the fence you sit on—is a Beetlejuice-themed keytar ready to take center stage at Fortnite Festival. Because when you’re the ghost with the most, even your musical equipment needs a touch of the supernatural!
BEETLE-BREAKDOWN!
First up, let’s talk emotes! Fans of the original Beetlejuice movie are in for a real treat, because this bundle is packed with wonderfully nostalgic references. The first emote recreates the iconic “Day-O” dinner-table dance, while the second sees Beetlejuice taking a wild ride on a sandworm. Talk about a supernatural double act!
The spooky goodness doesn’t stop there, either. Both the Pickaxe and Back Bling take inspiration from the famous illuminated Beetlejuice Marquee sign featured on the Maitlands’ miniature model of the town, while the Kicks are sculpted to resemble one of the franchise’s terrifying sandworms. Rounding out the collection is a suitably ghoulish keytar, ready to bring some afterlife attitude to the Fortnite Festival stage. It’s a gloriously weird collection of cosmetics that captures the spirit of Tim Burton’s supernatural classic. Check out the full bundle below!
RELEASE
What a fantastic-looking bundle! Epic Games appears to have knocked this set straight out of the park, especially with its wonderfully weird emotes and eye-catching cosmetics. And the fun doesn’t stop there! “Jump in the Line” and “Day-O” are also coming to the Item Shop as Jam Tracks, meaning our legendary bio-exorcist will be bringing the party to the island in style. Sadly, the set doesn’t include a glider, so players will have to dig through their locker and find something suitably spooky. But hey, that minor omission doesn’t detract from what is otherwise a phenomenal-looking bundle!
Frustratingly, Epic Games hasn’t confirmed a price just yet. However, given the sheer scale of this collection, players should prepare for a potential assault on their precious V-Bucks balance. Hopefully, the juice won’t be too expensive!
Looking ahead, Dek from Predator: Badlands is expected to hit the Item Shop on October 28, giving players five days to enjoy Beetlejuice before our first Predator Item Shop arrival begins the hunt. So, get ready for an epic weekend with everyone’s favorite bio-exorcist! His set might be pricey, but when the juice is loose, it’s gotta be worth it!
The Fortnite x Beetlejuice collaboration haunts the Item Shop tonight!
