Fallout is coming to Fortnite. Exactly how and when Bethesda Softworks’ post-apocalyptic franchise is coming to Epic’s battle royale-turned-everything game is unclear, but we’re pretty much guaranteed to get some cartoonish power armor out of it. We’re also likely to get some Vault Dweller jumpsuits, but it remains to be seen what exactly Epic and Bethesda have cooked up for the highly anticipated collaboration.
The official Fortnite social media account on X (formerly Twitter) teased the crossover on Friday, hinting that Fallout-style bases and post-nuclear devastation could be dropping in on the battle royale island. No doubt Vault Boy will also make an appearance as part of the collab.
Interest in the Fallout franchise is at a high point right now, thanks to Amazon’s Fallout TV series and the recent “next-gen” update for Fallout 4. That free upgrade rolled out for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions of Fallout 4 in April, and Bethesda’s been patching it up since.
Fortnite players may get their hands on that Fallout-inspired content as early as next week. Chapter 5 season 3 of Fortnite — reportedly titled “Wrecked” — is expected to launch on May 24.
The Fallout franchise appears to also be coming to another big game soon: Call of Duty. Dataminers have uncovered references to Fallout (alongside Gundam and The Crow) that could be hints about content planned for season 4 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone 2.0. Call of Duty’s next season launches May 29.
