Obsession’s Nikki Is Joining Fortnite’s Fortnitemares 2026

Obsession is crossing into Fortnite as part of the game’s second Fortnitemares 2026 cosmetic wave. The collaboration brings Nikki, her unsettling expression and several recognisable props from the horror film into the Item Shop.

Fortnitemares began on 1 October and runs until the end of Chapter 7 Season 4 on 1 November. The month-long Halloween event includes themed quests, cosmetics and locations, alongside horror guests such as Slender Man and Freddy Krueger.

The event’s second update arrived on 15 October. After unreleased items appeared in the game files, data miners gave players an early look at the upcoming Obsession content.

When will Nikki from Obsession arrive in Fortnite?

Nikki and the other Obsession cosmetics are scheduled to enter the Fortnite Item Shop on 21 October, when the shop refreshes at 8 pm ET.

The collaboration bundle contains:

• Nikki outfit
• One Wish Willow back bling
• Nikki’s Broken Bottle pickaxe
• No No No emote

What is included in the Obsession bundle?

Nikki’s outfit recreates the red-and-black top she wore to the party at Ian’s house. It also has an alternative “Splatter” style, which adds soot to her face and avoids showing the blood seen in the film after she injures herself with a bottle.

The remaining items draw on memorable details from Obsession. The “No, no, no, don’t do that” moment became a widely shared meme, making the emote one of the bundle’s most recognisable references. Nikki’s creepy pose can also appear as an idle animation in the lobby.

For readers building a dedicated horror-themed setup, RETROCADE’s arcade machines and compact bartop arcades offer two ways to create a gaming space around crossover releases such as this one. Our Arcade Blog also covers arcade and gaming news.

Where can you watch Obsession?

Obsession is a low-budget horror film that became an internet hit and generated record-breaking profits during its cinema run. It is available to watch on Peacock, while a Netflix release is planned for November.

That timing gives curious Fortnite players two opportunities to catch up with the film: stream it on Peacock before the crossover arrives, or wait for its Netflix release in November.
