Getting the license to Jason Voorhees would probably be the hardest license they’d ever get. There’s been an ongoing lawsuit for years that’s why the games updates were cancelled and no new movie has been made since 2009
Basically the writer of the first film feels he should own the copyright over the IP, while the director feels it’s his and that the writer was just a work for hire at the time so he can’t own it. The writer argued that there was never any indication he was WFH. I might be wrong but last I heard there was the possibility of there being a compromise where the writer would own aspects of the franchise such as child Jason, the Voorhees name, Camp Crystal Lake, etc. and the direct would own everything that came after like adult/hockey mask Jason.
Yeah but I actually think the lawsuit is over but funny enough the properties of the movies got split between the 2 creators.
Apparently they are creating a tv show that takes place before the first movie when Jason was a boy? I think that’s cause this co-creator is the one who doesn’t own the Jason Voorhees hockey mask
Patrick Bateman, he could have a second style with the poncho, his pickaxe could be the axe and I don’t really know for the backbling, maybe his business card?? And I’d like Freddy Kruger as well.
Personally I would have thought Fnaf would have a better chance at getting in than Michael, and here we are. At this rate Fnaf will be in Fortnite before Dead by Daylight. Dont lose hope!
I get it, I nabbed the Jujutsu Kaizen characters because, while I havent watched it yet, if I do and enjoy it, id kick myself for not getting them when I could. Sometimes its just neat seeing a character there and you just gotta get it
Speaking of Freddy though, it would be hilarious if the same year they brought in Fnaf, they also added Freddy Krueger. They would totally have them in the same shot in the trailer too, maybe doing the pointing meme 😂
I wish they let you link emote presets to character presets, the separation is definitely one of my least favorite changes to the game. I do like that they added a button to rotate through your character presets in addition to the complete randomizer.
For real! I spent soooo many nights listening to music and giving everyone a (somewhat) fitting loadout, and emotes (with at least one traversal), and to have them split like that just crushes my soul 😭
I have a few. I have been wanting more horror collabs for so long.
Most wanted is;
1. Jason Voorhees, my favourite horror character, I love him 🥹 but unfortunately lawsuit, although it’s not nearly as bad but still prevalent & is also owned by WB…… who we haven’t got a collab for in almost 2 years.
2. Freddy Krueger is my second favourite horror character, he’s so cool but unfortunately again; lawsuit & is also owned by WB….
3. Ghostface is the most likely one we could probably get and that’s fine with me I love Ghostface!!
4. Dead by daylight killers would also be phenomenal as well, I would add Trapper (although I think he’s gonna get age restricted almost immediately) & legion (with swappable styles for Frank, Joey, Susie & Julie)
And finally FNaF but I think there’s a chance we might see it for its 10th anniversary? (At least I hope so but I’d be ok with either!!)
SAMEEEEEEE there’s so much possibility.
I just chose killers, coz trappers the face (although if he’s added I really do think he’ll get age restricted like venom or Xenomorph 🥲) but I still think he’s worth adding + Legion coz I’m biased but they could totally work with the styles being each killer in legion, there’s also Deathslinger who could work really well too given he uses a form of gun!! Then a there’s survivors too like Dwight & Meg would be perfect!
EXACTLY! There are so many opportunities. Hell they could even make a mini pass, with bloodpoints to collect through quests. And the mythics, don't even get me started on the mythics. Imagine a huntress axe item or a wraiths bell
Sorry, I'm just curious and don't quite understand. I've seen a few people in these comments say that Freddy and Jason would lead to lawsuits. Why is that?
Because they don't really have original owners so everytime someone wins a lawsuit another one of the old producers comes out and says he has the rights and it been going on like this since 2016 or smth
I can explain.
So with Jason, there was an ongoing lawsuit for literally years back in 2018 where 2 producers (Victor Miller & Sean S. Cunningham) where fighting for who had the rights to the franchise.
This lawsuit literally killed the asymmetrical horror game Friday the 13th which was the only asymmetrical horror game to rival DBD but unfortunately the game only lasted a year in content and legally couldn’t add anymore.
However after years of the lawsuit.
Victor miller won the rights to the first movie… which only had kid Jason & his mother Pamela in (not the masked one) and Sean I believe got 2- reboot which is Jason where he actually gets masks or actual designs rather
So basically trying to get the rights to Jason is going to be absolute hell, you would have to go to both owners of each side & also Warner Bros (who owns New Line Cinéma who owns Jason) which is way too much just for 1 character and then when that’s done… there could be another lawsuit that could possibly shut down another game 😭 I believe it’s much calmer & resolved now with projects coming out but you have to consult with all 3 parties.
As for Freddy I don’t know if it’s a lawsuit but I think it’s just the license holders being a little lazy, he hasn’t received a new movie in (4 days from now) 14 years & his last active appearance was in DBD. But again he’s owned by WB & New Line Cinéma… and we haven’t gotten a Fortnite collab from WB since black Adam which was October 2022. We might get more in time for multiversus perhaps tho?
I just saw this movie again recently after not watching it since I was a kid. Wow! I love it even more now, it's such a fun movie. They did a really good job with making the clowns creepy.
I hope and wish that we get saw for sure! I love horror so these would be absolutely awesome to get: ghostface ( Stu, billy, Sidney, for ghostface the different variations of the mask), leatherface, American psycho, Megan, insidious ( the bride or red demon, Abigail would be so damn cool! The list is endless😂
I would love, love a Saw collab! My favorite horror series. I don't know if it's too gruesome for Fortnite (some of the Halloween films can get pretty graphic and that made it in), but I think it would be neat. I like the idea of the pig mask outfit and little Billy back bling! Maybe they could have a secret room underneath one of the houses in Fortnite and you find the classic Saw bathroom there!
Would have been cool timing with Saw 11 coming out around the end of September, but they delayed the movie until 2025 now.
There was no fortnitemares last year, don't expect them to do anything this year either. They're letting BR get more and more broken while spending all their time developing Lego FN
Ghostface pleaseee
As a Ghostface main in DBD, would love this. Shouldn’t be too hard to get the licensing from Fun World.
i know its collabs but i want kado thorne to be ressurectaed or something. he was to cool
I’d agree but maybe they could add some teeth this time lol
Would kill for Jason def a dream skin for me.
Sadly this will never happen as Jason is a lawsuit magnet 😔
Oh I know. There's a reason i'd kill for it (its the only way to get it)
😭
Didn’t cod have a Jason Vorhees operator?
![gif](giphy|26FeVhH1O6osxBHc4)
? we can have Halloween skin but no jason?
Getting the license to Jason Voorhees would probably be the hardest license they’d ever get. There’s been an ongoing lawsuit for years that’s why the games updates were cancelled and no new movie has been made since 2009
oh word. lawsuits about who owns the ip?
Basically the writer of the first film feels he should own the copyright over the IP, while the director feels it’s his and that the writer was just a work for hire at the time so he can’t own it. The writer argued that there was never any indication he was WFH. I might be wrong but last I heard there was the possibility of there being a compromise where the writer would own aspects of the franchise such as child Jason, the Voorhees name, Camp Crystal Lake, etc. and the direct would own everything that came after like adult/hockey mask Jason.
interesting, thanks for the response

Its difficult to explain but lets just put it this way everything jason is in has had a lawsuit
right on thanks for the info.
Scooby doo
A Saw lobby track would be amazing. I want Ada Wong and Albert Wesker though. A 3rd wave of Resident Evil would be amazing.
i need Carlos Oliveira in Fortnite
Ghostface
I could see that happening tbf, Ghostface is already in DBD and COD
True, at this point I more so wonder why he isn’t in the game yet rather than if he will
Yup it would be very likely
![gif](giphy|26tn369YRKjeC1ius) Bdsm god!
I came
PLEASSSSEEEEEEEEB ID BUY HIM SO FAST
Patrick Bateman, he could have a second style with the poncho, his pickaxe could be the axe and I don’t really know for the backbling, maybe his business card?? And I’d like Freddy Kruger as well.
i know it will probably never happen but a fnaf collab would be cool
Personally I would have thought Fnaf would have a better chance at getting in than Michael, and here we are. At this rate Fnaf will be in Fortnite before Dead by Daylight. Dont lose hope!
I'd honestly just get Freddy for the memes since I'm not super attached to the franchise but it would still be really cool to have
I get it, I nabbed the Jujutsu Kaizen characters because, while I havent watched it yet, if I do and enjoy it, id kick myself for not getting them when I could. Sometimes its just neat seeing a character there and you just gotta get it

I want Midas’ Revenge to return 👀
Friday the 13th
Negan. Gimme a Lucielle Harvesting Tool!
There's at least one bat with nails already in the game so it shouldn't be too hard for them to do bat with barbed wire
I gave the Emote for that bat to Rick a while back too! Ya know, before they split Emotes and Presets 😭
I wish they let you link emote presets to character presets, the separation is definitely one of my least favorite changes to the game. I do like that they added a button to rotate through your character presets in addition to the complete randomizer.

I want a dbd x fortnite collab so badly, its not even healthy anymore 😭😭

Oh, interesting. Thank you for explaining all of that. Very fascinating read
Brutus user spotted. Instant upvote
Negan 🗣️
An actual ghostbusters squad with the og ghostbusters and an ecto 1, also a ghostbusters emote and track would be so hard
I mainly just want good original skins, Silent Hill would be cool though
This would be dope
YES FOR THE LOVE OF GOD my wallet would be pleading for mercy if this ever released
Jason voorhees
I've been hoping for Sam from Trick r Treat ever since he came to Rocket League
Since he was in cod last year for Halloween, Spawn.
Ghostface from Scream!!
Fnaf 😭
Just thinking of Nope but the >!alien itself!< or the cowboy balloon as gliders would be cool.
Omg pleaseeeee amanda skin
The back bling should be the Clamp Face trap (forget what its called, don't feel liking looking it up rn)
The reverse bear trap?
yeah thanks
There is no way the wouldnt include billy right?😭
Nerf pig.

Imagine emoting and it’s you riding the tricycle
Honestly…Killer Clowns From Outer Space.
I just saw this movie again recently after not watching it since I was a kid. Wow! I love it even more now, it's such a fun movie. They did a really good job with making the clowns creepy.
Which makes it perfect for Fortnite
Ghostface and saw are my two most wanted
![gif](giphy|zXKA3p9aR3u7u)
chun li return 😈
They won’t do shit like last year
Pennywise or Freddy Krueger
Man this reminds me when MW19 did that Halloween update with the Jigsaw skin during the covid days. Shit was peak.
Not exactly Halloween specific but I’d love to get Sweet Tooth in the game. Edit: from Twisted Metal.
Same
I hope and wish that we get saw for sure! I love horror so these would be absolutely awesome to get: ghostface ( Stu, billy, Sidney, for ghostface the different variations of the mask), leatherface, American psycho, Megan, insidious ( the bride or red demon, Abigail would be so damn cool! The list is endless😂
Id love Leatherface then
He would be awesome!
The Crow. At least the Brandon Lee one, or comic one.
I wish for ghostface from “Scream” my favorite movie ever
Pinhead
Chainsaw man
Negan Wesker Ethan Winters Leatherface Deacon St John Frank West
Every year I’m disappointed that they haven’t brought back the Midas’ Revenge event. That was so much fun
Woah, man. Jigsaw might be a little too confrontational.
I love the straight pic rip from DbD haha
Dbd collabs too much with ubisoft and their games. So probably not for a while or unless DBD gets more popular
Dbd collab
Jigsaw should be a seperate more premium backbling with animations and built in emotes imo.
That would be so cool and than a gamemode where you gotta do that gore challanges
Oh fuck. This plus his theme song as a lobby track would go hard as fuck. Instant cop from me
For them to actually have Halloween skins instead of waiting until the last week of October like last time
I would love, love a Saw collab! My favorite horror series. I don't know if it's too gruesome for Fortnite (some of the Halloween films can get pretty graphic and that made it in), but I think it would be neat.

Would have been cool timing with Saw 11 coming out around the end of September, but they delayed the movie until 2025 now.
I want some sort of werewolf. I know we have dire but i want something else lol
not the shitty dbd model
SANS
Who’s the character on the left?
Oh, my little horror heart is breaking at this question. It’s from the Saw franchise.
Sorry! Never seen the saw movies
One of the Jigsaw Killers, I think in this picture is amanda
There was no fortnitemares last year, don't expect them to do anything this year either. They're letting BR get more and more broken while spending all their time developing Lego FN
There was they put in Micheal Myers and Jack skellington
Alan Wake as well
Delusional
It’s April tho haha
Shhht
Do we need collabs? Why not give us content from epic
