Freddy Fazbear's Fortnitemares arrival opens nineteen times faster
The horror series' animatronics are headed into Fortnite's Halloween event, and the official announcement is outpacing almost everything else the channel posts.
Last week the most watched video on Fortnite's channel was a teaser whose title was just two question marks. This one spells everything out: "Five Nights At Freddy’s Joins Fortnitemares 2026." Barely a day after it went up, the announcement has passed one and a half million views.
A new upload on the official channel usually opens with a small share of that. This one is running at close to nineteen times the usual first-day pace, and on its own it is drawing views faster than the whole channel normally does in a day.
The crossover pairs two familiar names. Five Nights at Freddy's began in 2014 as Scott Cawthon's indie horror game about pizzeria animatronics that come alive after closing, and it has since reached cinemas. Fortnitemares is Fortnite's yearly Halloween event, which puts Freddy and his crew in the game's spookiest season.
