when is jason voorhees coming to fortnite

Jason Voorhees already came to Fortnite during the Fortnitemares 2025 event, with his skin hitting the Item Shop on October 17, 2025, at 8 PM ET.

Quick Scoop

• Jason Voorhees was added as part of Fortnitemares 2025, Fortnite’s annual Halloween event.

• Multiple gaming and news sites reported that his skin and bundle went live in the Item Shop on October 17, 2025, at 8 PM ET (October 17–18 depending on your region).

• Before the Item Shop drop, players could unlock the bundle early via a limited‑time “Jason Haunted Cup” tournament.

Was this just a rumor?

• Early on, Jason was only mentioned in leaks and dataminer posts tied to Fortnitemares 2025.

• Once the event rolled out, gameplay videos and Item Shop showcases confirmed that the Jason Voorhees skin and set were live in Fortnite.

Can you still get him now?

• Jason was a special collab skin, so his main confirmed appearance was during the 2025 Halloween window, not a permanent addition.

• Epic sometimes brings collab skins back, but there is no official schedule or confirmed future return date for Jason Voorhees; any future reruns are unannounced and speculative.
