Fortnite is one of the most successful online multiplayer games available in the market and other companies will look for ways to collaborate with the game. It is inevitable for major projects like movies to be featured and leaks of the latest crossover with the superhero genre are looking great.
The game industry was taken aback by the great success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the franchise’s ability to generate revenue and hype. Epic Games will jump in without hesitation and look for opportunities to feature these iconic heroes as purchasable cosmetic items.
The Latest Leaks Have Given Fortnite Players the Best Look at an Upcoming Collaboration
Epic Games has cracked the code for making a successful live-service game and doubled down on the success by opening its doors and nurturing partnerships with other companies. The gaming community already anticipated the inevitable crossover with Deadpool & Wolverine but did not expect the stars to be directly involved.
Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds were seen hanging out with one Fortnite content creator and everything went off the rails as fans guessed what they were up to. Regardless, there is a high likelihood that players will see these two characters as non-playable characters roaming around the map or in the in-game item shop and early leaks gave the fans the best look yet.
These are so fire 🔥

The developers were already gearing up for the release of the premiere after they unveiled a new Wolverine skin weeks prior. There is no shortage of cosmetic items that are all inspired or somehow influenced by various sources like comic books and live-action adaptations.
The gaming community is celebrating the upcoming film through gaming and this collaboration is bridging the gap between these two different entertainment formats. Perhaps more content and surprises will come weeks after the movie is released worldwide.
Deadpool & Wolverine Are Taking Over the World of Fortnite
Perhaps the developers will host cool new challenges related to the film and give the players a run for their money. It is always exciting to see major films advertised and promoted in this degree in the live-service gaming genre. This is a testament to how filmmakers now value the video game industry.
Other popular public figures in the gaming industry like Hideo Kojima expressed their excitement for the upcoming film. It speaks volumes about the film’s influence and reach over the world and its monumental impact on how gaming has transcended into a more relevant work of art.
Epic Games made a wise move to collaborate with other franchises with Chapter 5 Season 3 and feature a dystopian feel that resembles the multiversal setting of the film. It made it much more convenient for the developers to showcase different X-Men characters like Magneto being part of the Battle Pass.
There is no telling what else the developers have in store and with the momentum of the superhero genre slowly coming back, it is safe to assume that there will be more collaborations down the line. The gaming community is benefitting greatly from this trend.
