Pac-Man posted a teaser on X on September 14, 2026 showing Peely running through the Mega Maze Landmark while two Pac-Man Ghosts — Blinky and Clyde — chase him down. The caption reads: “This maze looks different… PAC-MAN x Fortnite. Coming Soon.” The Fortnite Pac-Man collab is landing with update 42.20 on September 17.
Fortnite Pac-Man Collab: What the Teaser Actually Shows
Peely runs through the Mega Maze and barely makes it out by finding a hidden entrance in the stone walls. Two Ghosts chase him through the corridor — Blinky in red, Clyde in orange. The teaser does not confirm damage numbers but Ghosts can hurt players who get too close.
In the original Pac-Man arcade game, Ghosts eliminate Pac-Man on contact. The same logic likely applies in Fortnite — avoiding direct contact is the safest approach unless a 1-Up Token is in the inventory.

When Does the Fortnite Pac-Man Collab Drop
No specific date is given in the teaser. However, update 42.20 lands September 17, 2026 — and Ghosts are expected to arrive with that update. The collab teaser dropped the same day Epic confirmed Kingdom Hearts for September 17, which puts both collabs in the same update window.
More details on the Ghosts — including exact damage, behavior, and any associated quests — will likely surface when the September 17 update drops.
Blinky and Clyde roam the Mega Maze Landmark and deal damage on contact. A 1-Up Token offers protection from the Ghosts — carry one before entering the maze if exploring the interior. Without it, players need to move carefully and keep their distance.
The maze itself could yield rewards for players who navigate it successfully. The challenge is staying alive long enough to find them. Ghosts chasing players through narrow corridors with limited escape routes makes the Mega Maze a more dangerous landmark than most others on the Chapter 7 Season 4 map.
Pac-Man Sidekick Also Coming to the Item Shop
A Pac-Man Sidekick is part of the extended Fortnite Pac-Man collab. It lands in the Item Shop later this week at an estimated 1,200 to 1,500 V-Bucks. The Sidekick is a cosmetic companion that follows the player during matches — Pac-Man himself as a companion rather than a playable skin.
The collab has been active since the start of Chapter 7 Season 4 Override with three Landmarks — Pac-Man Island, Blinky Island, and Pinky Island — already on the map. Those locations have not drawn much player traffic due to a lack of Chests and Cheat Codes. The Ghost addition to the Mega Maze gives players a real reason to engage with the Pac-Man content for the first time this season.

The Pac-Man Landmarks Already on the Map
Pac-Man Island, Blinky Island, and Pinky Island all launched with Chapter 7 Season 4 Override. None of the three have Chests or Cheat Codes — making them low-priority stops for most players. One of them sits near a strong Cheat Code loot path, which makes it worth a quick stop while farming Sprites in the area.
The Mega Maze Landmark is separate from the three island locations. Ghost activity adds gameplay to the maze that the passive island Landmarks never had.
Final Thoughts
Fortnite Pac-Man collab update lands September 17. Blinky and Clyde move into the Mega Maze Landmark and can damage players on contact. Bring a 1-Up Token to survive the maze. The Pac-Man Sidekick hits the Item Shop this week at 1,200 to 1,500 V-Bucks. Full Ghost details drop with update 42.20.
