Fortnite x Friday the 13th crossover rumors

There are whispers suggesting a collaboration between Friday the 13th and the ongoing event might take place. This speculation started when the account ‘@JasonUniverse13’ (official for all things Jason), followed Fortnite not long after they declared their intention to broaden the franchise into diverse territories.

Since then, fans have been eagerly theorizing that the central figure, Jason Vorhees, might make an appearance as a cosmetic option (skin), following numerous years of demands from the gaming community.

Once more, there’s no formal announcement from Epic yet, so keep an eye out for further news as we approach the anticipated launch date.
