Fortnite x Futurama trailer
Mark your calendars! The highly-anticipated trailer for the Fortnite x Futurama collaboration will premiere on YouTube on July 26, 2023, at 2 AM PT / 5 AM ET / 10 AM BST. The countdown has already begun, and fans are eager to witness the clash of these two beloved universes.
Potential Fortnite x Futurama skins, items & map changes
As is customary with most Fortnite crossovers, players can expect a host of new skins inspired by the characters from Futurama. While there is no official confirmation yet on which characters will receive skins, speculation suggests that fan favorites like Fry, Bender, and Leela may make their way into the Battle Royale game.
The possibility of Fry’s appearance in Fortnite was teased a few weeks back when an anonymous user on 4chan leaked information about the Fortnite x Futurama collab. The alleged leak hinted at outfits for Fry, Bender, and Leela, along with backpacks featuring the Mind-Control Parasite and Nibbler. While 4chan leaks should be taken with a grain of salt, this information lines up with what we know so far.
Furthermore, it seems Hypnotoad will play a significant role in the collaboration, potentially leading to a backbling inspired by this iconic creature. And let’s not forget the Planet Express ship, fondly known as Old Bessie, which is likely to be added as a glider. A teaser featuring the ship crashing into a Hypnotoad billboard suggests that exciting map changes might be in store.
As players gear up for the v25.20 patch, this latest Fortnite crossover promises to introduce Futurama to Chapter 4 Season 3’s Island. Alongside new skins, expect cosmetic items, quests, and a lot of fun as these eccentric 31st-century characters embark on adventures in the vibrant world of Fortnite.
The collaboration between Epic Games and Futurama creator Matt Groening is a dream come true for fans of both worlds. Prepare to laugh, fight, and explore as Fortnite x Futurama brings a fantastical vision of the future to the gaming universe.
The countdown to the Fortnite x Futurama event has begun, and players can’t wait to be a part of this extraordinary crossover. Keep an eye out for more updates as the release date approaches, and get ready to dive into an unforgettable gaming experience where humor, adventure, and epic battles collide!
