Fortnite Launches Fortnitemares 2025 With Doja Cat, Scooby-Doo and Horror Icons

The live 37.50 update delivers a new Reload map, fresh event mechanics and a monthlong rollout of crossover skins through November 1.

Overview

  • Epic’s 37.50 patch is live, activating Fortnitemares 2025 from October 9 through November 1 across Battle Royale and Reload.
  • Doja Cat debuts in-game as the Mother of Thorns boss with the Thorn Ripper item, with two shop skins launching as the event goes live.
  • Crossover lineup confirmed includes Scooby-Doo’s Mystery Inc., Jason Voorhees, Ghostface, Huggy Wuggy, The Grabber and Wednesday Addams, with releases staged across October.
  • Gameplay changes add the Nitemare Island map for Fortnite Reload, a refreshed Freaky Fields POI, Ghostface’s Last Call booth ability, a Jason medallion, and returning Chainsaw and Witch Broom items.
  • Twitch Drops run October 9–12, granting the Treat Sack Back Bling and Treat Axe Pickaxe for watch time, as a deleted ‘rose toys’ post from a Doja Cat social takeover draws criticism and a public rebuke from the artist.
