Summary
- Fortnite leaks reveal that the game will be collaborating with the TV series Invincible, featuring characters like Omni-Man, Invincible, and Atom Eve.
- The cel-shaded character models in the collaboration maintain the hand-drawn animation feel, which is a great choice considering Invincible's rising popularity.

A leak has revealed that Fortnite will soon be adding a collaboration with the TV series Invincible. The news comes just after another Fortnite leak revealed unvaulted weapons returning to the game later in the OG Season.
Invincible is an Amazon TV show by Robert Kirkman, based on his comic book series of the same. Kirkman is best known for creating The Walking Dead, but his work with that franchise ended some time ago. Invincible Season 2 was hit with a long delay initially, after the first season received critical acclaim. However, Season 2 is now ongoing, and the show has already been renewed for Season 3. Invincible has already started to make a significant mark on pop culture, as evidenced by these Fortnite leaks.
Footage of the leaked Fortnite x Invincible collaboration leaked onto YouTube courtesy of HYPEX. The clip shows off all the characters that will be coming to the game.

Interestingly, each of the character models shown in this set are cel-shaded, allowing them to retain the feeling of hand-drawn animation. It looks great, and given the increasing popularity of Invincible, it seems like the perfect time for Epic Games to include this collaboration in the game.
Over the years, Fortnite has been no stranger to collaborations. The game has amassed an enormous selection of characters, many pulled from different franchises across all pop culture mediums. There are no other places where gamers can see The Mandalorian face off against Spider-Man and Geralt of Rivia, but Fortnite can make that happen. That's one of the reasons the game has remained so popular for so long - players are always excited about seeing what will be added next. Just recently, Fortnite added a Lewis Hamilton skin, showing the variety of collaborations the game has to offer. Now, it seems like Invincible will be next in line, although no official confirmation has been received from Epic Games.
The hype surrounding Fortnite is the highest it has been in a long time. The return of the OG Season has seen Fortnite smash player count records, with players returning to the game in droves to get a hit of the nostalgic original map, as well as the weapons and equipment found in the game at release. At this point, Fortnite has gone through so many updates and changes, that it feels like a far cry from the game released in 2017. The OG Season has given the game a new lease of life among the community, and hopefully, Epic Games can build upon it to keep players engaged going forward.
