Following multiple teases, the Fortnite x Saw collaboration seems to be happening real soon. As per leaks, the collab will be released before October 11 and is set to bring new mythic items alongside Billy the Puppet. Alongside new ones, players expect characters from previous Halloween events like Jack Skellington and others to also make a return.
Billy was recently added to the game with the v31.20 update and, similar to other big collabs, had the Fortnite community excited. However, it seems that Billy isn’t the only one greeting players as leaks suggest that Leatherface aka Bubba from Texas Chainsaw Massacre will also be making an appearance.

This all comes as part of the Halloween update for the upcoming Halloween event ‘Fortnitemares’. The official announcement is yet to come from Epic Games, which will likely reveal if players are getting any other characters from horror franchises.
As of now, another popular leaker, HYPEX revealed that players will be able to summon the iconic billy bike that will follow opponents and explode on reaching close to opponents. Original characters are also in the mix, revealing that players will have many options to select from the in-game store, but the two licensed characters are a hot topic at the moment.
