New leaks from Fortnite are hinting at a major crossover with a beloved animated series in the near future, with SpongeBob SquarePants reportedly set to hit the battle royale. The Epic Games shooter has made waves with its crossovers throughout recent months, between its Halloween festivities and the newest mini-season. Fortnite officially concluded its massive "Fortnitemares" Halloween event this week, after adding more than twenty new skins, with Epic Games rolling out a brand-new mini-season for the battle royale themed around The Simpsons. Now, another massively popular cartoon will reportedly be receiving a collaboration with Fortnite.
The conclusion of Fortnite's Chapter 6 leads straight into the launch of a brand-new mini-season, centered around Fox animated series The Simpsons. The mini-season will debut later today with a plethora of new skins added to the game, with the premium Battle Pass featuring skins based on Homer, Marge, and Ned Flanders. The mini-season will also come alongside an overhaul to Fortnite's main island, with locations based on iconic Simpsons settings like the Simpson family home, Moe's Tavern, and the Kwik-E-Mart among several others. However, leaks are now hinting at yet another major animated series coming to Fortnite soon.
The Simpsons is Getting a Fortnite Crossover Episode
Fortnite's highly-anticipated upcoming crossover with The Simpsons is now getting a special episode of the TV series devoted to the collaboration.
A recent report from prominent Fortnite leaker HYPEX is teasing an unexpected crossover set to hit the battle royale soon. The post suggests that Fortnite is gearing up to roll out a collaboration with beloved animated series SpongeBob SquarePants, simply said to be "coming soon." The post does not give any clarification about what will be featured within the SpongeBob crossover, though skins based on main characters should likely be expected from a collaboration. The post also does not share a release window for Fortnite's rumored SpongeBob SquarePants crossover.
Fortnite Leak Teases SpongeBob Crossover
Fortnite teaming up with SpongeBob SquarePants would not be the first time the battle royale has partnered with a Nickelodeon property. Fortnite has already featured several collaborations with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, adding everything from the four main Turtles to villains like Krang and Shredder. Avatar the Last Airbender was also the focus of a major Fortnite crossover, introducing six different skins including Aang, Korra, and Zuko among others. Fortnite has previously featured SpongeBob SquarePants-based UEFN content, with multiple mini-games available through Fortnite Creative.
Fortnite fans should have lots to look forward to from its newest mini-season and beyond. Fortnite has already teased some crossovers set to come next year, including a skin based on Resident Evil Requiem protagonist Grace Ashcroft. The addition of Sidekicks has also sparked plenty of rumors about new crossovers for the game, with rumors suggesting that several Disney characters may be added to Fortnite as Sidekick companions. Fortnite's future looks as bright as ever with plenty of exciting content coming to the battle royale soon.
