By Sagar V. Mankar Fortnite is known for its wild crossover events and collaborations that bring iconic characters from movies, TV shows, comics, anime, and video games into the popular battle royale game.
In 2023, we already saw characters like Peter Griffin, Jujutsu Kaisen, Invincible, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Miles Morales swing into Fortnite with special skins, emotes, and more.
But what crossovers can players expect in 2024?
Some major Fortnite rumors were recently leaked by trusted insiders, pointing to many exciting collaborations on the horizon.
The leaks came courtesy of the XboxEra podcast, which has proven to be a reliable source of Fortnite rumors in the past.
Their scoops on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Doom Slayer, and other crossovers were later confirmed, lending credibility to their newest batch of leaks.

The pirate-themed anime would sync up perfectly with Fortnite’s aesthetic and goofy tone.

Take These Leaks With a Grain of Salt
As exciting as these rumors are, it’s important to take them with a grain of salt.
Plans can always change, and there’s no guarantee that any leaked collaboration will actually happen.
However, the variety of crossovers listed here certainly seems plausible.
Fortnite has proven itself as the ultimate crossover machine, uniting characters from what feels like every franchise under the sun.
These leaks also align with Epic Game’s strategy of using collaborations to regularly freshen up the game.
New skins and crossovers keep the experience feeling fresh for existing players.
The Collabs Could Be Massive Events
If they do happen, these crossovers will likely be much more than just simple skin packs.
Major collabs are often integrated with gameplay, including limited-time modes, new items, and even in-game events.
For example, the Naruto collab didn’t just offer skins but also added ninja-themed items and moves.
A One-Piece crossover could easily include pirate ship battles and more.
The possibilities are endless, and that’s what makes Fortnite so endlessly fun.
Fans can look forward to even more wild and creative mashups in the future.
