There’s buzz in the gaming community about some exciting new additions potentially coming to Fortnite. Insider rumors are floating around that Marvel’s iconic heroes, Daredevil and Punisher, could be joining the Fortnite roster in the near future. As Fortnite enthusiasts know, Epic Games is already bridging worlds between Fortnite and Mortal Kombat, with Sub-Zero recently making an appearance in the latest battle pass. And if the rumors are true, there are more characters on the horizon lining up to join the fray.
With Fortnite currently amidst Chapter 6 Season 2, fans are eagerly casting their eyes ahead. Speculation from multiple sources suggests a special 35-day mini-season kicking off on May 2. While Epic Games has tried shorter seasons previously, they’ve been more of a special event than the norm. This upcoming mini-season is expected to showcase a major Star Wars collaboration, possibly integrating elements from the series Andor and the beloved game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Details are still veiled in mystery, but it’s worth noting that this collaboration would tie in neatly with May 4, a celebrated date among Star Wars fans.
Meanwhile, another well-known leaker, ShiinaBR, took to Twitter to hint at a potential Marvel collaboration bringing Daredevil and Punisher to Fortnite’s shores. Anticipation is high among fans, many of whom speculate the game might incorporate Marvel Cinematic Universe-inspired cosmetics. Given that Daredevil: Born Again is currently on air and a project featuring Punisher is underway, it would certainly be a timely crossover. Not to mention, Daredevil has already graced the game, which adds more fuel to these expectations.
This isn’t unfamiliar territory for Fortnite, which has a storied history with Marvel. From battle pass characters to entire season-long events, Epic Games has consistently tapped into Marvel’s rich universe, creating skins inspired by comics, films, and shows. With Disney having invested heavily and holding a stake in Epic Games, the depth of this partnership seems poised to grow even further.
Adding to the whirlwind of rumors is chatter about Fortnite potentially integrating with the anime world of Dragon Ball Daima. This anime, which aired 20 episodes, primarily follows Goku and Vegeta’s child-like adventures after a wish transforms them. However, fans are hopeful that Epic Games will bring cosmetics resembling their adult forms, complete with their signature transformations. While not all leaks see the light of day—often twisting and turning due to shifts in developer plans—there’s undeniable excitement buzzing through the community about what Epic Games might have up its sleeve next.
Amid these swirling whispers, it’s best to treat them as tantalizing possibilities rather than certainties. However, there’s no denying the anticipation and buzz that such rumors naturally generate among the Fortnite faithful. Whether these collaborations come to fruition or not, the mere talk of them keeps the community engaged and on their toes about what Epic Games will unveil next.
