This collaboration is a continuation of Fortnite’s theme of bringing notable characters from films and video games into the battle royale landscape. Each year, the game holds a holiday-themed event called the Fortnitemares event, and 2025 will be on course for a similar themed event. The last 2 occasions in Fortnitemares past have included recognizable figures from traditional horror films like Ghostface, Jason Voorhees, and the iconic Art the Clown. The incarnation of Huggy Wuggy continues the Halloween appearance model in a sense with a slightly spooky character in relation to the more wholesome stylings of Fortnite.
Why this matters for Poppy Playtime
For Poppy Playtime specifically, even considering it is a recognizable phenomenon already especially due to its darker overcast and puzzle based horror, it is a great opportunity to present the Poppy Playtime brand to a wider audience. The opportunity to reach and connect with an even wider and diverse audience will create an even more successful level of recognition and attention for the Poppy Playtime franchise.
How it will play out
As Fortnitemares 2025 approached, fans can expect more trailers and promotional material that reveals more information regarding this crossover coming from Epic Games. Given the popularity of the combination of horror and video game entertainment style, Fortnite x Poppy Playtime is expected to be one of the top anticipated episodic collaborations of the year.
