Epic Games has a reputation for landing the biggest crossovers in gaming. From Marvel superheroes to anime icons, the battle royale has hosted almost every major pop culture franchise. Now, it looks like Fortnite is heading to Nevermore Academy.
According to prominent data miners and community leakers, a massive collaboration with Netflix’s hit series Wednesday is scheduled to debut during the Fortnitemares 2026 event. The leak has sent shockwaves through the gaming community, especially with anticipation building for Wednesday Season 2.
For years, fans have begged Epic to bring the gothic teen to the island. If these leaks hold true, players will soon get exactly what they wanted.
Inside the Nevermore Academy Cosmetics
The leaked files suggest that players won’t just get a simple character model. Instead, Epic Games is planning a comprehensive cosmetic set themed around the famously gloomy Addams family daughter.
At the center of the crossover is the Nevermore Academy school uniform. The outfit features the distinct dark-striped blazer and long skirt worn by Jenna Ortega in the show. There are also rumors of an alternative style option. This secondary skin could feature Wednesday’s casual black hoodie or her elegant black prom dress from the viral dance scene that took over the internet.
Of course, a Fortnite bundle is never complete without its back blings and emotes. Files point to several themed items currently in development:
- Thing Back Bling: The sentient, severed hand will likely sit on players’ shoulders, reacting in real-time to gameplay events like getting jurisdiction on eliminations or opening chests.
- Gothic Pickaxe: Speculation points to a harvesting tool designed after Wednesday’s beloved cello or perhaps a fencing foil.
- The Dance Emote: A traversal or standing emote replicating the quirky dance choreography to ‘Goo Goo Muck’ by The Cramps.
A Proven Netflix Partnership
This wouldn’t be the first time Epic Games has teamed up with Netflix. The developer has a long history of collaborating with the streaming giant. We have already seen characters from Stranger Things, like Eleven, Chief Hopper, and the terrifying Demogorgon, make their way into the game.
Adding Wednesday Addams to the lineup fits the spooky October aesthetic perfectly. Fortnitemares 2026 is Epic’s annual Halloween celebration. It is traditionally the time when the developer releases its most horror-centric collaborations. In previous years, we saw iconic figures like Jack Skellington, Michael Myers, and Resident Evil’s Leon Kennedy join the fray.
This crossover serves as a brilliant marketing move. Netflix has been ramping up production and teasers for Wednesday Season 2. Bringing her into one of the world’s most popular video games keeps the franchise fresh in the minds of millions of players just as the hype train starts moving.
When Can Players Buy It?
While Epic Games has not officially confirmed the crossover, Fortnitemares typically kicks off in mid-to-late October. Update files are usually loaded into the game’s backend a few weeks prior. This explains why data miners are already finding references to the cosmetics.
If previous events are any indication, the Wednesday bundle will hit the Item Shop during the first week of the Halloween festivities. The skin on its own will likely cost around 1,500 V-Bucks, while the full gear bundle could go for 2,200 to 2,500 V-Bucks.
Until Epic drops an official trailer, plans could technically change. However, given the reliable track record of the leakers who shared this news, it is safe to say that players will be dropping into Battle Royale as the queen of macabre very soon. Start saving those V-Bucks.
