Fortnite X Saw UPCOMING Collab: Everything You Need To Know

Poof! Spooky season is just around the cobwebs in your corner. There is a buzz of excitement going around the Fortnite community due to the rumored Fortnite X Saw collaboration. Moreover, as Halloween season fastly approaches, fans and Epic Games are both gearing up for the annual Fortnitemares event. This year may be the eeriest out of all, as they hint at the possible inclusion of the iconic horror franchise, Saw, in the haunting party.

The Teaser: A Mysterious Retro TV

No one could have guessed where the hint first came from for the Fortnite X Saw collab. Luckily, there are few eagle-eyed players that picked up things together during the Absolute Doom Season. At first, a retro TV hiding in the attic of Doom Castle raised no suspicions and served merely as a prop.

On September 17, 2024, Xgamer360, who is a dataminer, uncovered the code in the game files linking images of the Saw’s Billy the Puppet into a file named “T_Appliance_RetroTVScreen_A_Flipbook.” A day later, the retro TV in the attic shockingly switched on and started displaying static. This began the speculation of the potential appearance of Billy the Puppet in the display to officially tease the crossover.

Release Date Speculation

As of now, Epic Games has not released any official release date for this collaboration. But an educated guess suggested from the past Fortnitemare events and the current situation hints at the second half of October 2024.

People are anticipating for Epic Games to launch the collaboration during Fortnitemares 2024. This annual event typically runs throughout the month of October, with an emphasis on the jam-packed latter half of the month. You can expect the Halloween-themed skins and collaborations to be available in the Fortnite Item Shop during late October.

There are also some leaks claiming that this year’s Fortnitemares will begin on October 15, 2024. With this, the event will go live on Tuesday after your Daily Quest refreshes. Nevertheless, it is certain that the time for waiting is shortening as there are only few days before a new month begins.

Fortnitemares 2024: A Packed Event

Besides the anticipated Saw collaboration, Fortnitemares 2024 prepared plenty of surprises to make a special Halloween season. Here are some of the rumored and confirmed content for this year’s event:

Disney Villains: Epic Games confirmed the collaboration with Disney during the D23 Expo. In this crossover, Fortnite introduces some of the iconic Disney villains in the realm of battle royale. They’ve confirmed Captain Hook, Cruella de Vil, and Maleficent to come into Fortnite in Fall 2024.

Friday the 13th Rumors: Apart from the Saw collaboration, Fortnite also gained traction for its rumored crossover with the popular horror film, Friday the 13th. People are keeping an eye on this as they expect it to feature Jason Voorhees.

Returning Favorites: One thing that remains constant in this spook-filled event is that it brings back the popular Halloween-themed items. You’ll be able to get your desired skins and items from the previous Halloween collections through the Item Shop.

The Bar is Set High

It sat on top among the Halloween events with its big and exciting collaborations and content these past few years. Fortnitemares put itself in another league as the last year’s event introduced skins of The Nightmare Before Christmas’ Jack Skellington, Michael Myers, and Alan Wake. Epic Games is eager to keep its status through its collaboration with Saw for the thrilling 2024 event.

Conclusion

Setting its stepping stone, the Epic Games is preparing itself to be hailed with the best Halloween event and content. Fortnite X Saw Collaboration definitely stands as one of the most anticipated spooky treats this October. With this Saw crossover, expect to have an addition of Saw-themed skins and cosmetics such as pickaxes, back blings, and gliders inspired by the series. Other than this, they might also introduce limited-time game mode or map changes to feature the elements from the Saw franchise.

October is surely overloaded with thrilling, fun treats to get hooked on during the haunting season. Hopefully, they’ll release more details on this collaboration to prepare Saw fans and the gaming community.
