Jason Voorhees made his Fortnite debut as part of last Halloween season’s Fortnitemares event, and it looks like he’ll be slashing back into the game this coming Halloween.
The Jason Universe team is headed to Licensing Expo 2026 in Las Vegas later this month, and a press release previews over 40 new licensing partnerships that are on the way.
In the mix? Jason’s return to Fortnite later this year.
