‘Boo!’: Doja Cat Joins ‘Fortnitemares’ Universe as the Game’s Spookiest Guest Star Yet

Doja Cat is ready to paint the town red … with blood. As announced Wednesday (Oct. 8), the rapper is Fortnite‘s designated Mother of Thorns this year, serving as the face of all things spooky for the 2025 “Fortnitemares” season.

Launching just a few weeks before Halloween, the partnership finds Doja appearing as a non-playable character within the Fortnite universe. She leads a big cast of new characters in the game, with other scream-inducing additions including Wednesday Addams, Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th and Ghostface.

As part of the team-up, two of Doja’s songs — “AAAHH MEN!” and “Gorgeous” — will be added as Jam Tracks. Fans can get a peek at the hip-hop star’s avatar in a trailer that also dropped Thursday. In the clip, she crashes through the floor of an attic in a haunted house while riding atop a freaky plant monster.

Demonstrating her best evil cackle, the Doja NPC stares straight at viewers with glowing red eyes and says, “Boo!”

The Halloween edition of the game is now available to play through Oct. 31. It marks just the latest instance of Fortnite teaming up with musicians, having previously created avatars in partnership with Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, Sabrina Carpenter and Billie Eilish.

Doja’s turn in the Fortnite universe comes shortly after the release of her new album, Vie, which dropped at the end of September. The project follows 2023 LP Scarlet and marks a return to the musician’s pop sound.

A few days after the album dropped, Doja announced that she’ll be going on tour in support of the new music. Kicking off in New Zealand in November, the trek will find her traveling all over the world through the end of 2026.
