Epic Games could bring Jason Voorhees and Friday The 13th to Fortnite

The Jason Universe that was recently announced deals with games and other entertainment projects that will involve Jason Voorhees and other elements from the Friday the 13th franchise. The official X page is currently only following the official Fortnite page, contributing to the theories of a Friday the 13th collaboration coming to the game.

While implementing such a horror icon into the game would be a far-fetched idea, it is important to remember that, over the years, Epic Games has opened up various avenues for beloved horror figures like Michael Myers to come to Fortnite through the annual Fortnitemares event. So, assuming Epic Games might be working on a collaboration doesn't seem far-fetched.

Additionally, the nature of the potential collaboration is not quite yet known. The crossover could range from a full-blown mini event featuring the Jason Voorhees outfit, like the one seen for the Avatar The Last Airbender collaboration with the Fortnite Aang outfit, or it could just be limited to a Creative 2.0/UEFN experience that takes place at Camp Crystal Lake, the setting for the Friday the 13th movies.

On the question of when a collaboration like this would fit into the game, it is hard to say. As stated, Michael Myers was introduced during the game's Halloween event, so Jason Voorhees following suit seems apt. This means the character would be added to the game around October, with the game potentially being in Chapter 5 Season 3 or Chapter 5 Season 4 during that time.

However, it is important to remember that the information is largely based on speculation and rumors, so the collaboration might not even come to fruition down the line.
