According to trusted Fortnite news sources, there’s a buzz that Jason Voorhees could be joining the lineup of cosmetics for the forthcoming Fortnite “Fornitemares” Halloween celebration in October. Previous leaks hinting at Fortnitemares 2025 also suggest the appearance of Friday the 13th’s infamous killer, possibly alongside Ghostface from Scream. Enthusiasts of Fortnite are thrilled by these rumors of the collaboration, but players of the survival horror game Dead by Daylight have expressed a more negative response.
This morning, it was revealed by Fortnite’s developer @WesoingX on their post that they found a medallion known as “InjuredPrey.” This discovery hints at the upcoming arrival of the character Jason Vorhees in the game.
JASON VOORHEES IS COMING THIS FORTNITEMARES!
Upcoming medallion: Jason Voorhees

A new theory from Wensoing, centered around a medallion known as “Stalker Knife,” proposes that Ghosface might join Fortnite as an epic cosmetic skin. These leaks are often trustworthy and have been echoed by several Fortnite news sources, but it’s essential to remember they should be treated with caution until there is an announcement from the Fortnite development team.
Should these rumors hold true, it means that Jason Voorhees and Ghostface are likely to join the roster of other terrifying characters from past Fortnitemares, such as Michael Myers, Leatherface, and Billy from the Saw franchise. This prospect has Fortnite players buzzing in anticipation of the upcoming Halloween event. However, Dead by Daylight fans might find this development less than thrilling for their game.
“Yeah Dead by Daylight ain’t getting that license ever,” wrote X user alistjpeg.
Some Dead by Daylight enthusiasts have unfortunately become accustomed to experiencing disappointment and missing out on character licenses. In 2021, Dead by Daylight was compelled to take down characters associated with Stranger Things from its in-game store due to Netflix’s decision not to renew the license. Consequently, the developers of Dead by Daylight were obligated to introduce generic versions of the collaborative perks and remove Hawkins Laboratory from the rotation of available maps.
Some players who commented about the Jason Vorhees leak felt disappointed because Dead by Daylight, being a predominantly horror-themed game, seemed to trail behind Fortnite, a game more popular in other genres.
Fortnite got Jason before dbd

When you compare any game to the vast, ever-evolving world of Fortnite, it’s likely that the comparison will result in a similar scenario. Fortnite’s enduring popularity has made it an excellent platform for marketing various cosmetics and content to a large, diverse audience. This has led to an extensive collection of collaborations with sources like anime, movies, TV shows, and comics, making it challenging to announce a collaboration that would genuinely catch people off guard.
Although Fortnite‘s upcoming Halloween event might seem like it’s overshadowing Dead by Daylight for some players, they shouldn’t worry too much. After all, Dead by Daylight is planning its own spooky event called “Haunted by Daylight,” which promises a variety of cosmetic items for players to collect each year.
