Fortnite Obsession Collab: Nikki Skin Release Time, Items & Price
The Fortnite × Obsession collab brings Nikki from the horror film Obsession to Fortnite. Fortnite's official account dated the collab for October 21, 2026, and the set is expected with the daily Item Shop reset at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT (00:00 UTC on October 22). The set has four items: the Nikki outfit (with a "Splatter" style), the One Wish Willow back bling, the Nikki's Broken Bottle pickaxe and the No No No... emote. Epic hasn't announced the V-Bucks price yet; it will show when the offers go live. No free unlock has been announced. The separate One Wish Willow Sprite is something you find in Battle Royale matches, and it only lasts for that match.

What's in the Fortnite Obsession set
| Item | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Nikki | Outfit | Based on Nikki Freeman, played by Inde Navarrette. Has an alternate "Splatter" style |
| One Wish Willow | Back bling | Named after the wish-granting object in the film |
| Nikki's Broken Bottle | Pickaxe | A nod to the film's bottle scene |
| No No No... | Emote | Based on the film's "No, no, no" moment |
The item list comes from the files added in the v42.40 update and matches the set shown in coverage of Epic's reveal. We'll add the official Item Shop links as soon as the offers go live.
How much does the Nikki skin cost?
Not announced yet. Epic hasn't published the price; it will appear when the offers go live in the Item Shop. Many recent collab outfits (for example the Freddy Fazbear outfit this Fortnitemares) cost 1,500 V-Bucks on their own, but that's only a reference point, not a confirmed price for Nikki. We don't know yet whether Epic will also sell the four items as one bundle. We'll replace this section with the official prices after the reset.
Nikki skin vs the One Wish Willow Sprite
Searches mix these up:
| One Wish Willow back bling | One Wish Willow Sprite | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Cosmetic (back bling) | In-match Mythic Sprite item (added in v42.40) |
| How you get it | Item Shop, with the Obsession set | Found during Battle Royale matches. It isn't a shop item |
| Do you keep it? | Yes, it stays in your locker | Only for that match |
Can you get the Obsession skin for free?
Not as far as we know. Nikki is an Item Shop collab, and Epic hasn't announced a free unlock (no cup, quest or code). Ignore "free Nikki skin" or "free V-Bucks" offers on third-party sites: buy V-Bucks and cosmetics only in the game or through Epic's own store.
How long is it available?
Item Shop offers rotate, and Epic doesn't publish leave dates in advance. The set is part of Fortnitemares 2026, which runs until November 1, 2026 (Epic), but the event end date isn't a guaranteed shop end date. We check the shop daily and note here when it leaves.
What is Obsession?
Obsession is a supernatural horror film written and directed by Curry Barker: shop clerk Bear makes a wish, and his friend Nikki falls dangerously in love with him (Wikipedia). Inde Navarrette plays Nikki, and the film became a horror hit in 2026. It's streaming on Peacock in the US, with a Netflix release reported for November. The Fortnite collab is part of Fortnitemares 2026's second wave of horror skins. See also our Freddy Fazbear in Fortnite guide.
