Fortnite Beetlejuice is expected to arrive in the Item Shop on Friday, October 23, 2026 at 8 PM EDT. For UK players, that means Saturday, October 24 at 1 AM BST. Epic has confirmed Beetlejuice as part of Fortnitemares 2026, while the specific Shop date comes from advance cosmetic schedules reported by Fortnite creators.
The crossover is expected to bring an outfit and Beetlejuice-themed Kicks, but Epic has not released a complete public price list or shown exactly how each item will be sold. If you’re planning to spend V-Bucks, the live Shop is where you’ll be able to check the individual items and any bundle before buying.
Fortnite Beetlejuice release date and UK time
The reported Fortnite Beetlejuice release is the October 23 Item Shop reset in the United States. The clocks have not gone back in Britain yet, so the UK equivalent is 1 AM BST on October 24. Don’t confuse that with midnight GMT, which doesn’t apply in the UK until October 25.
| Region | Expected Shop date and time |
|---|---|
| US Eastern | October 23, 8 PM EDT |
| US Pacific | October 23, 5 PM PDT |
| United Kingdom | October 24, 1 AM BST |
| Central Europe | October 24, 2 AM CEST |
Fortnitemares runs through October, with different cosmetics being introduced on different days. Epic’s official event announcement explicitly names Beetlejuice among the collaborations, but the advance Shop schedule could still change. Check the Fortnite Item Shop after the reset for actual availability.
How to get Beetlejuice in Fortnite
Once the Fortnite Beetlejuice offer is available, open the Item Shop in-game or on the official website, find the outfit and select the item or bundle you want. It will be a V-Bucks purchase, not a reward for fighting a Halloween boss or collecting Sprites. The game will show the exact price, contents and availability countdown before checkout.
Some Fortnitemares outfits have had early tournament opportunities, including Slender Man, but no equivalent free Beetlejuice Cup has been announced in Epic’s competition schedule. Our free Fortnite cosmetics guide covers rewards currently obtainable without V-Bucks.
Fortnite Beetlejuice bundle, Kicks and price
The Fortnite Beetlejuice collaboration is expected to include Beetlejuice-themed Kicks alongside the outfit. Kicks are footwear cosmetics and aren’t automatically included whenever you buy a character skin. Until the Shop cards appear, it isn’t possible to confirm whether these shoes will be sold separately, bundled with the outfit or both.
| Item | Current evidence | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Beetlejuice Outfit | Crossover confirmed by Epic; outfit expected in October | Not confirmed |
| Beetlejuice-themed Kicks | Reported ahead of the Shop release | Not confirmed |
| Bundle and additional accessories | Final contents awaiting Shop listing | Not confirmed |
Check the Outfit and Kicks as separate Shop cards when the offer arrives. If Epic also lists a bundle, compare its price with the individual items. A bundle discount is only useful if you want the included extras.
Is Beetlejuice a boss in Fortnitemares?
No dedicated Fortnite Beetlejuice boss, Mythic weapon, special quest or Beetlejuice map location has been announced. The current confirmed Fortnite connection is the Halloween cosmetics crossover. The Freddy’s Nightmare weapon and Freddy Krueger boss encounter are separate gameplay features; they aren’t requirements for buying Beetlejuice.
If you’re checking the rest of the October Shop schedule, our Slender Man outfit guide covers the preceding release, while HamiKuma covers the Universal Halloween Horror Nights collaboration reportedly following it. The Fortnitemares hub links the seasonal quests, cosmetics and weapon guides together.
When will Fortnite Beetlejuice leave the Item Shop?
The Fortnite Beetlejuice leaving date hasn’t been made public. A reported arrival date is not a guarantee that the outfit will remain in the Shop until Halloween or disappear on a particular night. Once the offer is live, the Shop itself is the place to check its availability. If you already have enough V-Bucks, you can make your decision based on the listed items rather than trying to beat an unverified deadline.
Epic’s Fortnitemares announcement confirms the crossover; the reported October 23 arrival still depends on the Shop reset.
