National Football League (NFL)

One of the very first collaborations to feature within the game, NFL x Fortnite originally occurred at the back end of 2018 during Chapter 1 Season 6. As a result, skins representing the uniforms of all the 32 NFL teams became available in the Item Shop.

Michael Jordan

Chapter 1 Season 9 saw a collaboration between Fortnite and Micheal Jordan’s Jumpman brand, bringing in a range of creative content. A variety of cosmetic items became available including several outfits, skateboard-themed Back Blings, and sprays.

This crossover also included an LTM called Downtown Drop, inspired by the Brooklyn borough of New York. In this mode, players could perform high jumps, collect coins, and complete challenges to unlock additional rewards.

John Wick

The Fortnite x John Wick event intended to promote the release of the 2019 film John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum. As a result, the iconic titular character from the media franchise officially became a part of the battle royale game.

A set of themed cosmetics, including a legendary John Wick skin, were up for grabs. The crossover event included an LTM called Wick’s Bounty and also had challenges that players could complete for unlocking more rewards like the One Shot umbrella, Boogeyman wrap, and Gold Token back bling.

Interestingly, the Continental Hotel, a staple feature in the John Wick movies, also made its way to Fortnite’s island as a new location.

Star Wars

When Fortnite first came out, who would have imagined using lightsabers as weapons in the game? This became a reality thanks to the Fortnite x Star Wars collaboration during Chapter 2 Season 1 to promote the 2019 film Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

The crossover content featured a live event that took place at the Risky Reels location on the Fortnite map. Other than that, Stormtrooper skins and cosmetic items based on movie characters like Rey, Finn, Kylo Ren, Zorii Bliss, and Sith Trooper were also present.

One of the most highly anticipated crossover events, Fortnite x Travis Scott granted one of the greatest live events, Astronomical. Taking place during Chapter 2 Season 2 in April 2020, Astronomical featured an in-game concert where a gigantic Travis Scott performed his music live while stomping around the Fortnite map.

Astronomical was truly a visual and a musical spectacle as tens of millions of fans flocked to witness the rapper’s concert. This collab also added an entire set of cosmetics based on the artist, including the Travis Scott outfit. Additionally, completing a bunch of challenges awarded free gear such as a glider, spray, banner icon, and more.

Fortnite and Marvel have come together to deliver a ton of crossover content, and some of them have turned out epic. Starting with the Avengers: Infinity War collab in Chapter 1 Season 4, the Fortnite x Avengers: Endgame crossover of Season 8 took it to another level.

We saw the return of Thanos, alongside the addition of the Avengers’ weapons to the loot pool. In the Endgame LTM, fans got to use Captain America’s shield, Hawkeye’s bow, Iron Man’s repulsors, and the Stormbreaker.

Batman

Debuting in Chapter 1 Season X, the Batman crossover within Fortnite was one of the greatest so far. Most importantly, it showed that even though Epic Games worked with Marvel, they could also work with DC Comics.

Besides bringing Batman skins, items, and weaponry into the game, the event added an entire Gotham City to the map. This collaboration paved the foundation for future DC-themed content within Fortnite, with Batman Zero Point of Chapter 2 Season 6 being the latest.

Nexus War (Marvel Comics)

The Fortnite x Marvel: Nexus War crossover during Chapter 2 Season 4 was perhaps the biggest and greatest of them all, with an entire season full of events themed around the comics.

We saw the introduction of several Marvel heroes like Iron Man, She-Hulk, Wolverine, Groot, Mystique, Storm, and Doctor Doom. They joined forces with Fortnite characters like Raven, Lynx, and Jonesy to prevent the destruction of the battle royale island at the hands of the humongous cosmic entity Galactus.

The season concluded with the Devourer of Worlds live event, as the heroic coalition was successful in stopping the antagonistic plans of Galactus. This collaboration is definitely among the best in Fortnite’s history considering the sheer amount of content it featured.

Ten is a tiny number to include all the excellent crossovers seen within Epic’s battle royale title. Therefore we ask you, which Fortnite collaborations are among your favorites thus far? Let us know in the comments below.
