A Fortnite and Game of Thrones crossover is rumoured to be on the horizon, according to popular Fortnite data miner AdiraFNInfo. Reports suggest that an update is in development to bring HBO’s beloved fantasy series Game of Thrones to Fortnite, which has sent ripples through the community.
What We Know So Far
Fortnite is famous for its high-profile crossovers with major franchises, bringing their content into the game. Game of Thrones, which can arguably be defined as one of the most popular shows in the world, is speculated to be next in line to get the same treatment as The Simpsons, Back to the Future, and South Park.
AdiraFNInfo‘s claims are backed by other popular Fortnite insiders with a solid track record, and are therefore adding fuel to the fire ahead of EPIC officially confirming any of this. The announcement is expected to arrive soon, possibly tied to an upcoming Fortnite update or event.
A Game of Thrones crossover would mark a major step for Fortnite’s long list of crossovers, and given the magnitude of the show, one can argue this should be its most ambitious collaboration to date. Game of Thrones has been one of the most influential television franchises of all time, with a massive global fanbase, and EPIC can use this to introduce its game to its audience at scale.
When Could It Launch?
None of the leakers have pointed to a release window for the Fortnite × Game of Thrones event, and neither have the developers at the time of writing this article. Deducing the situation regularly, we might see the update arrive in the coming weeks as a part of a seasonal push or drop independently as a major update. Only time can tell when or if this update arrives, but this will definitely be one of the biggest collaborations they have pushed.
