The Item Shop just got a massive injection of mid-2000s nostalgia. Fortnite has officially released its collaboration with Nickelodeon's Danny Phantom, bringing the teen hero and Sam Manson onto the island starting December 6, 2025.
Going Ghost
It feels like we've been waiting for this one since the Avatar collaboration opened the door for more Nickelodeon properties. Danny Fenton—and his spectral alter-ego—is now a playable outfit. While Epic Games often varies how they handle transformation skins, the appeal here is obvious: running around the loop as the Halfa hero is a dream for anyone who grew up on the series.
Joining him is Sam Manson, which rounds out the duo perfectly. For players who prioritize clean hitboxes and darker color palettes for competitive play, Sam's design usually fits that "sweat skin" aesthetic, though we'll have to see how the community adopts her in the coming weeks.
What else is in the update?
Beyond the two main character skins, the promotional imagery released alongside the announcement teased something interesting for the Icon Series: a pet cosmetic. The update includes a dog character, bridging the gap between standard back bling and the Icon Series rarity. This is a nice nod to the show's lore (likely referencing Cujo the ghost dog) while adding value to the bundle.
This collaboration proves that Epic is digging deeper into specific fan favorites rather than just sticking to current blockbusters. If you want to grab these, they are currently rotating in the Item Shop. No word yet on how long they will stick around, but typical collab windows suggest you have about two weeks before they vanish back into the Ghost Zone.
