Fortnite has become the king of crossovers. From comics to movies — even other games — the battle royale title has been seemingly limitless regarding where the online experience can take players. It looks like this wild ride could be getting even wilder because Epic Games have sent out a new survey to gauge player interest in other franchises for potential crossovers, and phew; it gets interesting.
The email crossover was first spotted over on Reddit. It included a breakdown of which characters players would like to see (as evident with the Hunter narrative with Master Chief, Kratos, and God of War), franchises, and more.
In the above Imgur post, franchises like Resident Evil, Shrek, Grand Theft Auto, Spider-Man, Dragon Ball Z, and more are all represented. Even Undertale made the list, a very under-appreciated RPG with an incredibly loyal fanbase centered around it.
According to the Reddit post, the surveys are being done via email. To verify, I spoke with a representative from Epic Games. "Yep, I can confirm that we send out surveys like this all the time to our players - though, of course, they're in no way indicative of what we're bringing into the game or timing of releases," the Epic Games spokesperson tells Game Informer. They jokingly added, "We can only work on so much at once!"
While this isn't an indicator that we'll see every franchise reflected in a crossover of some form if even 20% of this list makes the cut, that would be interesting. Epic Games has continuously shocked fans of Fortnite with intense end-of-season events, shocking crossovers (who would have thought we could see Kratos face off against Master Chief in an actual game?!), and new features. For me? Somebody once told me the world was going to bring Shrek into battle royale, and now I need to see this happen.
Out of the list reflected above, which crossovers would you like to see the most in Fortnite? The Big Tall Vampire Lady from Resident Evil Village up against Goku from Dragon Ball Z? Shrek versus Batman? Joker versus Joker? The sky is the limit! Sound off with your crossover hopes and dreams in the comment section below!
Last Fall, the first Fortnite and Rocket League Llama-Rama crossover event launched and brought the famous battle bus to soccer arenas everywhere. The free-to-play update required players to partake in a list of simple challenges to unlock fun rewards. In celebration of Rocket League’s upcoming Season 3, the second Llama-Rama crossover event is slated to launch soon and will bring interesting prizes to both Fortnite and Rocket League owners. The event runs from March 25 at 12 p.m. ET to April 9 at 4 p.m. ET.
A bevy of these new Rocket League challenges is, once again, relatively easy to complete so that you spend more time having fun with friends than struggling to complete your challenge checklist. Rewards range from copious amounts of experience points to exclusive cosmetics. By completing these Rocket League challenges, you’ll also gain access to prizes in Fortnite - loading screens, lobby tracks, and sprays, among many other items. Original Rocket League cars will also be available in your Fortnite locker along with a "Lil' Octane" traversal emote. You can read about all of that and get even more details in the new Llama-Rama blog post published on the Epic Games website here.
Finally, another concert is coming to Fortnite’s Party Royale. Grammy-nominated artist Kaskade will be performing his latest EP for the LLama-Rama event. Three showtimes are available: March 26 at 8 p.m. ET, March 27 at 9 p.m. ET, and Match 27 at 2 p.m. ET.
Speaking of crossover events, The 25th Tomb Raider Anniversary Celebration kicked off last week during the Square Enix Presents Showcase. Tomb Raider arrives (in some shape or form) to Ghost Recon Breakpoint and Final Fantasy Brave Exvius: War of the Visions. There are three Lara Croft skins in Fortnite, but Croft Manor will also appear in the game’s creative mode.
