Rumors surrounding the collection suggest that Nikki’s appearance may feature blood splatters on her face, reflecting the film’s horror aesthetic. However, the full cosmetic lineup and individual designs should be confirmed through Epic Games’ official announcements and the Item Shop.
The bundle has been rumored to cost 2,300 V-Bucks, while the Nikki Freeman Outfit could be priced at 1,500 V-Bucks if sold separately. These prices have not been officially confirmed, so players should check the Item Shop when the collaboration launches.
