Summary
Falloutis officially coming toFortniteafter weeks of rumors and leaks seemingly teasing the collaboration between Epic Games' battle royale title and Bethesda’s iconic RPG franchise. While talk of a collab between the two has been ongoing among fans for a while now following the release of Amazon Prime’sFalloutTV show, the official reveal today confirmed that the nuclear wasteland is on its way toFortniteafter all.
It is currently unclear what the collaboration may entail as the developers have not mentioned any specifics in regard to the cosmetic items and other offerings that will come as a result. However, previous collabs have usually includedone or a few themed player skins, back blings, weapon wraps, and emotes based on the property in question, usually for sale in the game’s in-game item shop.
The official Twitter account forFortniterevealed the collab this morning with a piece of art showing off a suit of power armor fromFalloutalong with what appears to be a factory of some sort, though with no official release date as yet. The post was accompanied with a caption that simply consisted of two emojis, a winking face, and a thumbs up as if playing into the speculation from fans that such a reveal was on its way while also referencingthe series mascot Vault Boy.
What Will Fallout in Fortnite Look Like?
Fans were quick to respond with excitement and questions about the collaboration in regard to whichFalloutgame or property it would be taking its designs and items from, but received no official response from Epic. The most recent game in the series isFallout 76,which seems unlikely as the main source of inspirationgiven its controversial reputation, leaving the previous main title,Fallout 4,as the most obvious choice.
However, it is entirely possible that the items will just come from the franchise as a whole, pulling fan-favorite elements from across the series into its various offerings as Epic has done in the past. Franchises likeFamily GuyandResident Evilhave appeared in the past as cosmetic bundles including items from multiple different sources across both series, so anything is possible forFallout.
This collaboration also provides a unique opportunity when it comes toFortnite’s musical offerings, as the game also sells “Jam Tracks” that are playable in its premiere rhythm game mode, “Fortnite Festival.“Falloutis a franchise known for its iconic music spanning several decades, so it is possible fans will see some of these tunes make their way into the game as well.
