A fresh batch of rumored collaborations anticipated to hit Fortnite includes a beloved anime alongside several other high-profile crossovers, with One Piece set to make an appearance in the shooter.
Since its launch in 2017, the Epic Games battle royale has soared to global success, emerging as one of the most popular online games. Fortnite has become renowned for its plethora of crossovers, featuring a diverse array of video games, TV series, and movies within the battle royale. Now, it seems one of Japan’s most beloved anime is poised to join the fray.
Anime has proven to be a popular theme for crossovers in Fortnite, with multiple cherished franchises appearing as skins within the battle royale. Well-loved series such as Naruto and Jujutsu Kaisen have been incorporated into collaborations, enabling players to battle it out as beloved characters like Kakashi Hatake and Satoru Gojo. Many of Fortnite’s crossovers have also introduced unique mechanics and weapons to the game, such as Dragon Ball Z’s iconic Kamehameha and Deku’s Smash from My Hero Academia. Now, it appears the crew of One Piece is gearing up to be one of Fortnite’s next collaborations.
In a recent episode of the XboxEra Podcast, several forthcoming crossovers slated for Fortnite were hinted at, including the popular anime One Piece. The podcast didn’t directly reveal how One Piece would be integrated, though based on past crossovers, key cast members like Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro will likely feature as skins. Insider Shpeshal_Nick also couldn’t confirm the release timeframe for the crossover, indicating that the myriad leaks didn’t have a set timeline. If the rumors prove true,
this collaboration would mark One Piece’s inaugural appearance in Fortnite.
One Piece stood out as a major highlight amid a massive list of rumored crossovers headed to Fortnite, encompassing video games, movies, and TV series. Marvel is expected to have a significant presence in Fortnite’s upcoming crossovers, with characters like Spider-Man’s Doc Ock, X-Men’s Cyclops, and The Fantastic 4 rumored to join the mix. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was another notable title rumored to receive a Fortnite crossover, featuring members of the game’s cast as skins. He-Man and Skeletor were also among the characters reportedly slated to join the battle royale.
With several high-profile crossovers on the horizon, Fortnite and Epic Games recently unveiled a major collaboration with one of modern media’s most recognizable brands. Disney and Epic Games announced a partnership,
with Disney acquiring an equity stake in Epic Games for $1.5 billion USD. The collaboration is expected to deepen Disney’s involvement with Fortnite and mark “Disney’s most aggressive venture” into the gaming market.
With Fortnite’s upcoming crossovers and the Disney partnership, fans have plenty to look forward to.
