Epic Games has confirmed that 99 Nights in the Forest, one of Roblox’s most-played survival titles, is crossing over into Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4. The reveal came through a short teaser clip and slots neatly into the wider Gaming Legends theme that runs through the upcoming season.
Quick answer: The 99 Nights in the Forest crossover is confirmed and arrives with Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 on August 20. The Deer is expected in the Battle Pass alongside other Gaming Legends collabs.
What the teaser shows
The teaser follows the same format Epic used for the Sonic reveal. It’s a brief clip that opens with Peely fishing, before a demonic Deer character sneaks up on him from behind. That Deer is native to 99 Nights in the Forest, and its appearance is the confirmation itself.
A tag of August 20 accompanies the reveal, which lines up with the launch of Chapter 7 Season 4.
The ‘SurviveTheNight’ code explained
The crossover ties back to a teaser code called ‘SurviveTheNight’ that players fed into the official Fortnite Discord bot ahead of the season. Surviving 99 nights is the entire loop of the Roblox game, so the phrase reads as a direct nod once the Deer appeared.
That code caused some confusion first. Many players read ‘SurviveTheNight’ as a hint toward a Minecraft collab, since the phrase also opens the official Minecraft account bio, while others guessed at Five Nights at Freddy’s. The Deer teaser points the code firmly at 99 Nights in the Forest instead.
Why a Fortnite and Roblox crossover stands out
Fortnite and Roblox have long sat on opposite sides of the user-generated content and metaverse space, treated as each other’s main rivals. Bringing a Roblox title directly into Fortnite is a notable shift, and it signals how far Epic is willing to reach for the Gaming Legends season.
What to expect in the Battle Pass
The full scope of the collab has not been detailed yet. The Deer is the most likely inclusion in the Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass, joining a lineup that spans several confirmed and teased Gaming Legends characters.
| Collab | Character |
|---|---|
| 99 Nights in the Forest | The Deer |
| Persona 5 | Joker |
| Sonic the Hedgehog | Eggman |
When the season begins
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 launches on August 20, carrying the Gaming Legends theme. More crossover details are expected to surface through the season’s teasers and its Story Event, which should flesh out how the Deer and its fellow guests fit into the map and gameplay.
