Fortnite fans, get ready: It looks like the popular battle royale is about to add another dark collaboration to its roster. A crossover with the horror franchise SAW has been discovered in the Fortnite game files. The main focus is on the iconic character Jigsaw.

It is still unclear what exact content will be part of the crossover, but the Jigsaw skin seems the most likely. This would fit perfectly into the dark Halloween-themed Fortnitemares event, where Fortnite regularly introduces horror elements and creepy guest appearances. In past years, the event brought iconic horror characters like Freddy Krueger, Ghostface, and the Demogorgon from Stranger Things into the world of Fortnite.The horror character Jigsaw from the SAW series is known for his disturbing appearance – especially the creepy puppet Billy, which serves as the eerie symbol for the deadly games in the movies. If the skin does appear in the Item Shop, it is expected to capture this terrifying look. It remains to be seen whether Epic Games will also add special animations or even a unique back bling or harvesting tool to match the brutal and unsettling atmosphere of SAW.
The Fortnitemares event traditionally takes place in October and, in addition to new skins, also brings special modes, spooky maps, and Halloween-themed content into the game. With the potential SAW crossover, the already eerie atmosphere will be taken to a whole new level. Fans of horror movies and Fortnite alike can look forward to a dark event.
While an official confirmation from Epic Games is still pending, the leak has already stirred excitement in the Fortnite community. If the Jigsaw skin does indeed appear in the Fortnite Item Shop, it would be a highlight of this year’s Fortnitemares event and a perfect addition to the existing horror characters. Fans are eagerly awaiting what other surprises the event has in store.
