Fortnite is one of the most successful live service games in the market and it would make sense for other major gaming franchises to reach out for future collaborations. The gaming industry can get confusing and some notable figures will try to rattle some cages and potentially tease something massive.

The gaming community has become far too observant and loves to connect the dots. Some players are convinced that something huge is coming after spotting details that could be linked to other games and feel disappointed if they are wrong and all the pieces of evidence found are purely coincidental.

Epic Games struck gold with the application of the live service structure and it resonated well with the gaming community. The developers are firing on all cylinders with the latest Deadpool and Wolverine collaboration with Fortnite and it is a perfect display of how influential both franchises are it shows that fans are benefitting from this partnership greatly and more will likely follow.

Crossovers and collaborations are all the rage in modern gaming nowadays and the gaming community has become too reliant on the idea. Unfortunately, some public figures like to tease the community with cryptic messages that would lead them to believe something is coming but not in the way they expect.

Fans are upset to realize that Scott Cawthon was teasing something that had nothing to do with what they expected. Cawthon is the creator of Five Nights at Freddy’s and he was getting the gaming community excited about a potential crossover. The fans were bummed and disappointed when they realized it was meant to be a tease for a crossover with Dead by Daylight.

In Scott Cawthon’s defense, he never explicitly mentioned or hinted at the possibility in his cryptic posts. However, the gaming community naturally defaulted to the idea that it could be a collaboration with Fortnite given the success and popularity of the live service game and the high demand from the fans.

Five Nights at Freddy’s and Fortnite Fans Are Upset About the Crossover That Never Happened

The gaming industry has come far after the past few years of innovation and creativity. Some players suggested what other smaller gaming franchises they would love to see get featured in bigger games and this could have been the perfect opportunity for the FNAF franchise to be recognized even more.

Fans had high hopes for the crossover that never happened, but it does not mean that the door is shut forever. There is no telling what other horror franchises the developers over at Epic Games will feature in the coming months.

Perhaps Cawthon will charge this to experience and realize it is time to dream big and collaborate with bigger franchises. The current crossover with Dead by Daylight is not bad; however, it would not hurt to bet on something far more popular and accessible to the masses.

Collaboration is essential in the modern age of gaming, especially in a market that is oversaturated with many other options. It is time for creatives to pick their friends to sustain their respective franchises and keep them afloat and relevant to the public eye.
