Apple and Epic Games are currently in the midst of an intense legal battle that will determine the future of video games on platforms like iOS mobile devices. The proceedings have had a benefit of revealing some insider information onFortnite, including some of the skins and crossover events that are apparently in the works for the mega-popular battle royale game.
According to the Apple and Epic Games court documents,Fortnitehas quite a few crossovers in the pipeline. As reported by FortniteInsider, the documents touched on some skins that have already been added toFortnitelike theGod of WarKratos skinfor instance, but it also revealed skins and crossovers that haven’t been added to the game. According to the documents,Fortnitecould very well have skins based on John McClane fromDie Hard, Katniss Everdeen fromThe Hunger Games, Naruto,Samus fromMetroid, and The Bride fromKill Bill.

Beyond those skins, it seems that there was once anAriana Grandecollaboration in the works forFortnite, with a skin based on the popstar originally scheduled to release in the game in October 2020, though that never came to pass for unclear reasons. The same goes for a Lady Gaga skin that was supposed to release in December, but never did for reasons that haven’t been revealed at the time of this writing.
AFortniteskin based on Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is another one that was potentially delayed, as it was reportedly supposed to be released in Q1 of this year. There’s been a lot of speculation thatThe Foundation character inFortniteis meant to be represented by The Rock, and The Rock himself hinted that aFortnitecrossover or collaboration of some kind could very well be in the works, so this isn’t all that surprising of a revelation.
And finally, the court documents suggest thatFortnitecould be crossing over with the NBA, with that crossover including aLeBron Jamesskin. TheFortniteNBA crossover may go beyond just cosmetic content, though, as the court documents have also revealed a new Basketball mode of some kind.
It’s entirely possible that Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, The Rock, and NBA skins are all still coming toFortnite, but were simply pushed back for whatever reason. Alternatively, Epic Games may have scrapped its plans to incorporate any of this content inFortnite. Until official announcements are made, the only thingFortnitefans can do is speculate.
Fortniteis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
