| Fortnite x Fallout Collaboration - new teaser, cosmetics, and elements in Chapter 5 Season 3 |
Fortnite just revealed some big news: they're teaming up with Fallout for a special collaboration. The official Fortnite Twitter account shared an image of a dusty landscape and a character wearing Brotherhood of Steel T-60 power armor. The post came with a caption featuring just two emojis: a winking face and a thumbs up. It seemed to tease fans' speculations about an upcoming reveal, all while nodding to the series mascot, Vault Boy.
Epic Games also updated Fortnite's in-game news feed, announcing that Chapter 5 Season 3: Wrecked will be coming "courtesy of the Brotherhood of Steel" on May 24th. With the season's supposed 'apocalypse' theme, this crossover seems like a perfect fit.
Let's talk about what we know about this Fortnite x Fallout collaboration.
What Does the Fortnite x Fallout Teaser Showcase?
From what we've seen in the teaser, it's clear that the Brotherhood Of Steel will be part of Chapter 5 Season 3 in Fortnite, and they'll have their own spot on the map for players to check out. It seems like this spot will be in a desert area, which matches up with what was hinted at in the Fortnite roadmap for 2024.
Speaking of the Brotherhood Of Steel, we spotted the T-60 power armor from Fallout in the teaser. We're not sure if this will just be a big outfit like Iron Man Zero or if players will actually get to drive it. It would be really cool if we could actually pilot it, though!

What to Expect with Fortnite x Fallout Collaboration?
Fans eagerly awaited details about the Fortnite x Fallout collaboration, speculating which Fallout game or aspect would inspire the designs and items. Despite their inquiries, Epic remained tight-lipped. Nevertheless, Epic could draw from the entire Fallout franchise, incorporating beloved elements from across its iterations, similar to previous collaborations involving franchises like Family Guy and Resident Evil.
Also, now that Fortnite is teaming up with Fallout, some players are thinking that the Sandstorm happening in the game might be caused by The Prydwen, the big airship from the Brotherhood Of Steel. If this is true, we might even get to see Vertibirds flying around in the game too
Finally, since Fallout is set in a world after a big disaster, this team-up will definitely bring that vibe to Chapter 5 Season 3 of Fortnite. Besides the Brotherhood Of Steel, we might see other interesting groups and characters from Fallout added too.
Characters like Lucy MacLean, Maximus, and Cooper (The Ghoul) could become either playable characters or non-playable characters in Fortnite. Plus, we might start finding weapons from Fallout in the loot you can collect during Chapter 5 Season 3.
This partnership also opens doors for Fortnite's music scene. With its rich history of iconic tunes spanning decades, Fallout offers potential for crossover into Fortnite's musical landscape, particularly in its rhythm game mode, "Fortnite Festival."
How did this Fortnite x Fallout Collaboration Happen?
The collaboration between Fallout and Fortnite doesn't come as a surprise, especially with the recent success of the Fallout TV series on Amazon Prime, boasting a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
This partnership, along with previous collaborations involving The Elder Scrolls and Doom, both under the Bethesda umbrella, highlights Epic Games' openness to incorporating diverse intellectual properties.
As the details of Fallout's appearance in Fortnite remain somewhat unclear, it's evident that this crossover was bound to happen. Stay tuned for updates as we approach the new season's launch in a week.
