Epic Games collaborating with popular entertainment IPs is nothing new. Fortnite has seen multiple crossovers with trendy IPs like Star Wars, Marvel, and Family Guy. In addition, a player survey suggests fans might see The Simpsons and Shrek in the free-to-play game. The latest player survey also hinted at a collaboration with the main character from Friday the 13th.

New information has surfaced adding more fuel to the fire, and fans want to know whether Jason is coming to Fortnite.

Is Jason from Friday the 13th coming to Fortnite?

The Jason Universe X account replied to users asking whether fans will get to see a Friday the 13th and Fortnite collaboration, and it looks like a skin is on the table.

The X account of Jason Universe has teased a Fortnite collab in reply to questions by fans of the battle royale. The X account neither confirms nor denies a collaboration with Epic. However, the replies seem like subtle hints that fans may get a Jason skin in Fortnite.

The Jason Universe account has teased the collaboration with Fortnite when the season Fortnitemares event is so close. This increases the possibility that fans might get a Friday the 13th crossover. If Epic does this, it’ll be similar to how the studio released a Michael Myers skin in the 2023 Fortnitemares event. While the replies don’t confirm a collaboration, they align with the season event giving fans hope to see Jason in the battle royale.

Rumors for a Friday the 13th collaboration with Fortnite aren’t new. In May 2024, Horror Inc. announced that Friday the 13th will expand into a multi-platform Jason Universe. After the announcement, the Jason Universe X account followed the official Fortnite X account. Fans and leakers alike have been speculating since then about a Friday the 13th and Fortnite collaboration.

With the past rumors and the indirect hints made by the Jason Universe X account a Friday the 13th and Fortnite collaboration might be a matter of when rather than if. However, there is no official news, so fans will have to wait for an announcement or leak.
