Two of the world’s biggest gaming franchises, Fortnite and Call of Duty, are joining forces this October for a chilling crossover: The Friday the 13th: Jason Voorhees Haunted Cup. The special event drops players into eerie, horror-infused arenas, merging the best of both shooter universes under the shadow of one of cinema’s most iconic villains.
The Haunted Cup isn’t your average tournament. Teams from both Fortnite and Call of Duty will go head-to-head in timed challenges set against terrifying backdrops. Picture dim lighting, spectral overlays, and sudden visibility drops, all designed to ramp up the tension and test players’ adaptability.
Jason Voorhees himself will stalk the competition. His mid-match spawns will introduce unique mechanics that disrupt routine objectives and force players into unpredictable, high-stakes encounters. Outlasting Jason may become as crucial as outplaying rival squads.

Top performers will walk away with exclusive horror-themed rewards; cosmetics, skins, and limited-time items that bridge both communities. For collectors and competitive players alike, this offers bragging rights and memorabilia that won’t be available elsewhere.
The timing is also perfect. With Halloween around the corner, the Haunted Cup feeds directly into the global appetite for spooky content, combining cultural relevance with competitive hype.
The Friday the 13th: Jason Voorhees Haunted Cup is more than a holiday event. It’s a stress test for cross-franchise collaboration, a community clash that could set the stage for gaming’s next wave of shared universes.
