Fallout Fever: Is a Fortnite Crossover on the Horizon?
Fortnite has become a heaven for collaborations, seamlessly blending content from various video game franchises, anime, movies, and TV shows into its vibrant universe. With this trend in mind, fans are speculating that Fallout could be the next addition to Epic Games' hit title.
Slightly ahead of schedule, the live-action adaptation of Fallout recently debuted on Amazon Prime Video. With all eight episodes of the first season now available, initial audience reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. As highlighted by our friends at Tomatazos, the show boasts a 93% approval rating from critics, signaling a promising start.
While it remains to be seen if the series, starring Aaron Moten, Ella Purnell, and Walton Goggins, will garner enough viewership for a second season, there's no denying that the Fallout franchise is once again in the spotlight. Fans believe the timing couldn't be better for a crossover with Fortnite.
In addition to the series premiere, Bethesda has announced an exciting surprise for Fallout enthusiasts later this month. The next-gen version of Fallout 4 for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 is set to launch on April 25th, much to the delight of fans.
Furthermore, Bethesda revealed that the RPG's PC port will receive enhancements and will be available for the first time on the Epic Games Store. It's this announcement that has Fortnite players buzzing with anticipation.
Renowned insider ShiinaBR, known for accurate predictions, drew parallels between this upcoming Fallout release and previous collaborations between Bethesda titles and Fortnite. Noting Bethesda's history of partnering with Epic Games, particularly with The Elder Scrolls Online's launch on the Epic Games Store, ShiinaBR speculates that a similar collaboration could be in the works.
Although a Fortnite crossover remains unconfirmed, the RPG franchise's developers have already celebrated the series premiere with surprises for fans. Currently, players can snag some free titles, while Xbox Game Pass subscribers can claim a special reward.
