Overwatch x Fortnite crossover - Rumors |
Globe's most adored FPS title, Overwatch offers magnificent characters, and an energetic esports scene, joined by lovely maps. This Blizzard's most famous FPS has established its place in gaming history.
With Overwatch 2 moving to 5v5 gameplay with only one tank in each team, a ton of the current cast is having their kit changed altogether.
However, with all the news and leaks surrounding Overwatch, we have new rumors about the Overwatch x Fortnite crossover.

Now, players are persuaded that an Overwatch x Fortnite crossover is coming, as some new cosmetics from devs are hinting at the same.

Overwatch x Fortnite crossover
Both Fortnite and Overwatch have made a huge impact on gaming fans, so getting a collab of both these games will take the game to another level altogether.
Overwatch was released back on 24th May 2016, having hero-based gameplay with several game modes which soon became a top choice among gamers. Then Overwatch 2 was released as free-to-play and an early access title on October 4, 2022. Overwatch 2 saw the world first at BlizzCon 2019.
This multiplayer team-based first-person shooter video game has on its agenda storytelling, more so than its predecessors, as is attested by its new Story Missions.
Epic Games created the popular online shooter game Fortnite in 2017. Save the World, Battle Royale, and Creative are the three game modes available. On the PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC, you can play Battle Royale and Creative. Battle Royale, a 100-player PvP mode, is a part of Fortnite, and whoever survives the longest wins.
Both the games have been popular for crossovers, as Epic Games' now-famous title has brought many fascinating characters from different games, anime, movies, etc. into the battle royale.
This opens up an entire domain of conceivable outcomes, and the fans of Overwatch are pretty much convinced that a crossover is underway.

Overwatch x Fortnite crossover is speculated by fans
The new Fortnite spray is strikingly similar to Wrecking Ball's Pilot spray, with both hamsters having their arms folded and appearing aggressive, as first noticed by Overwatch 2 Twitter page Cavalry.
Due to a new spray called "Hamster Cabbie," which some players believe was heavily influenced by the OW2 tank hero Hammond and his "Pilot" spray, fans are now predicting that Overwatch and Fortnite crossover is in the pipeline.
When HYPEX commented, “Either Fortnite got a bit too inspired from Overwatch in the new spray, or maybe there’s an upcoming collab with them.” the conversation quickly spread to the Fortnite community.
this is one of the collabs that just NEEDS to happen at some point
