Fortnite is one of the most successful live service games of all time, and the developers are doing everything to keep it that way. Epic Games is well aware of the importance of crossovers, and this rumored collaboration with The Boys could be the most controversial one yet.
The timing for this rumored crossover is quite opportune, especially when Amazon Prime Video is about to roll out the latest season later this month. Perhaps this crossover will take the form of selling cosmetic items inspired by the show to promote the upcoming season.
The Boys Could Be the Most Controversial Franchise to Crossover with Fortnite
The collaborative nature of Epic Games is its strongest asset, and the developers were able to host a few crossovers and feature characters from other popular franchises in the game as purchasable cosmetic items. New rumors are circulating that The Boys live-action series is next on the bucket list of Fortnite.
The latest season started a few days ago and the teaser trailer indicated which franchises will be featured. Franchises like Marvel and Fallout are said to be featured and a few characters and concepts already have, like Magneto being part of this season’s Battle Pass. The live service game had no problems including characters from comic book franchises, but The Boys isn’t family-friendly compared to the likes of the X-Men or Batman.
Fan-favorite characters like Billy Butcher, Homelander, Soldier Boy, Starlight, and many more are expected to be featured in this collaboration. Players who are fans of the show could buy these cosmetic items, do what the characters of the show do best and live out the fantasy of being superpowered beings with no sense of responsibility.
Epic Games Is Venturing into Ambitious Territory with the Rumored Fortnite Crossover
The sky is the limit when it comes to video games, and Fortnite is the perfect place for different worlds to collide. Previous crossovers were all family-friendly and given that a good portion of the community is mostly children, exposing them to an R-rated franchise could raise some eyebrows.

The characters from the series are known to be quite vulgar and chaotic, which could spice up how the players will use these skins in match. This could cause the players to behave in a more toxic manner to embody the characteristics of the likes of Homelander and Soldier Boy.
The competitive nature of the live service game will be the perfect arena to showcase the skills of the community and be able to flaunt shiny new skins and troll enemy players in the field.
Amazon Prime Video and Epic Games timed this crossover for the premiere of the fourth season, and both player count, and viewership will increase immensely. Both parties involved will benefit from the collaboration greatly.
