Our opinion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It is important to note that nothing has been confirmed from either Epic Games or ScottGames as of yet \u2013 however, <strong>we wouldn\u2019t be surprised if the collaboration between Fortnite and Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s is indeed going to happen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The latter is one of the few big gaming franchises in recent years that hasn\u2019t yet appeared in Fortnite, and so it feels like it is just a matter of time before it happens.<\/p>\n<p>Another interesting angle that makes this collaboration likely is that Blumhouse Productions, one of the major studios behind the Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s movie, which was released in 2023, and its sequel, which is due to release in 2025, has just launched its very own games division.<\/p>\n<p>It all may be a coincidence, but maybe movie-specific versions of the characters may appear in Fortnite.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p> <p><strong>Discover more with Fortnite creative map codes: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-horror-scary-map-codes-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite horror maps<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-map-codes-action-adventure-creative-codes-best-creative-map-codes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite action-adventure maps<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-hide-and-seek-creative-map-codes-april-2021-best-map-codes-this-month\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite hide and seek maps<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/best-fortnite-zone-wars-creative-map-codes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite Zone Wars maps<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-fighting-creative-map-codes-best\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite fighting maps<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-parkour-map-codes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite parkour maps<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/best-fortnite-creative-map-codes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best Fortnite creative maps<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/squid-game-fortnite-map-code\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite Squid Game map codes<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-monopoly-code-back-blings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite Monopoly code<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/im-a-celebrity-itv-fortnite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite I\u2019m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here code<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/doctor-who-fortnite-map-newsupdate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite Doctor Who map code<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"post__content\">\n<div class=\"editor-content mb-lg hidden-print js-piano-locked-content\" data-placement=\"Body\">\n<div>\n<p><strong>Check out more of our\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/\">Gaming<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/\">TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\">Streaming Guide<\/a>\u00a0to find out what\u2019s on.
