Epic’s common battle royale shooter (and metaverse experiment) already comprises a ton of actual celebrities in addition to characters from different films, cartoons, TV exhibits, and video games. You possibly can kill Goku and Ariana Grande whereas taking part in as King Kong with Yoda in your again and escape the mayhem in KITT aka the Speaking Automotive from Knight Rider, all whereas dodging gunfire from a pack of close by Energy Rangers.
That’s all high-quality and good. However I would like extra crossover characters in Fortnite. Right here’s an inventory, in no specific order, of characters and folks Epic ought to add to Fortnite ASAP.
Grimace
Let’s get this out of the way in which on the prime. I feel Epic and McDonald’s ought to come collectively to provide Grimace the prospect to kill somebody with a gun. Sure, I’m asking you, who I hope is an Epic government or increased up at McDonald’s, to provide the quick meals chain’s well-known purple monster mascot a firearm. Let’s make this occur. The world deserves it. Grimace must also be allowed to get some revenge on all the teenagers who clowned on his purple milkshake a couple of years in the past on TikTok.
The King From These Creepy Burger King Commercials
You understand what, whereas we’re handing out weapons to quick meals mascots, let’s give Burger King’s as soon as well-known (now notorious) King an assault rifle, too. The King was already featured in a couple of video video games, together with Struggle Evening and a collection of not-very-good Burger King Xbox video games. So why not let him have some enjoyable in Fortnite? And for those who hate him, effectively, excellent news: If he’s added to the sport, you’ll be able to snipe him time and again. Everybody wins!
Agent 47
That is a kind of crossovers that I all the time need to double-check to ensure it hasn’t occurred but. It appears so apparent. So excellent. Hitman star Agent 47 is a firearms professional, kills individuals on a regular basis, and is a human with regular proportions. It needs to be comparatively straightforward to slap this bald-headed contract killer into Fortnite and I think about lots of people can be down to purchase the pores and skin. And but, Agent 47 stays on the bench.
Ask Jeeves Butler
Okay, I do know including a defunct mascot from a search engine no person makes use of anymore is an excessive lengthy shot, however right here’s my pitch to Epic and no matter holding firm is in command of Ask.com in 2025. Teenagers and children in 2025, like each different era, are followers of “retro” content material and aesthetics. Epic might do an enormous Nineties-themed Fortnite season that includes characters and music from that period. And that’s while you add Jeeves the butler, who was once the mascot of AskJeeves.com.
Cal Kestis
There’s already lots of Star Wars in Fortnite, together with Obi-Wan, Darth Vader, Anakin, and others. And that’s cool, but it surely’s a disgrace that one of many franchise’s finest online game characters, Cal Kestis from the Star Wars Jedi collection, isn’t included in all of the enjoyable. He lastly obtained a Lego minifig final 12 months. So it’s about time he will get a Fortnite pores and skin. Perhaps when the third sport is launched by EA and Respawn sooner or later, they will lastly add the red-headed Jedi to Epic’s battle royale sandbox.
Gaston
Epic and Disney have been working collectively carefully on crossover skins, together with some Disney villains final Halloween. So I’m going to say that of this complete record, Gaston from Magnificence and the Beast has the very best likelihood of arriving within the not-too-distant future. If/when that occurs, I can solely hope Epic makes certain to incorporate an emote the place he exposes his bushy chest after which eats a bunch of eggs. That is essential.
Somebody From Star Trek
Hey, Paramount? Why are you being so bizarre and never chopping a cope with Fortnite to get the Star Trek characters within the sport? I can’t think about Epic would say no to including Captain Kirk or Jean-Luc Piccard and even somebody from the animated collection Decrease Decks to the Fortnite roster. In order that leads me to imagine Paramount has determined to not push ahead with this, and I’ve to surprise why. Maybe you hate cash? Maybe you don’t need Kirk hanging out with Darth Vader? I’m unsure, however regardless of the causes which are stopping Star Trek characters and ships from being added to Fortnite, it’s time to recover from it and make this occur. I’ve cash, rattling it! Let me spend it!
Samus Aran
Whereas I’m yelling at firms, let me take a second to yell at Nintendo. This time, I’m yelling at them for fooling around and never offering even one single character to Fortnite. Personally, I feel Samus from Metroid can be an ideal match. She makes use of weapons. She kills stuff. She’s a human and would match effectively in Fortnite. Come on, Nintendo, give up being so boring and be cool. Xbox and Sony have let their characters mess around in Fortnite. I can kill the Grasp Chief as Kratos from God of Conflict. Why can’t you let Samus snipe me as I do a victory dance over the Chief’s corpse?
Bizarre Al
And now, I finish with my most private plea: Add Bizarre Al to Fortnite. He has a couple of iconic appears that you may select from, and his glider might be an enormous accordion. The well-known parody musician additionally has a bunch of nice music that you may add to Fortnite Competition. Actually, theme a future Competition season totally round Bizarre Al. That sounds lots higher to me than losing everybody’s time with a Metallica season. Plus, I’ve to think about Bizarre Al is cheaper, too. It could additionally make my spouse completely happy, and I like it when she smiles, so come on, Epic, let’s do that already! (And Bizarre Al, who I assume is studying this proper now, you have to say sure as effectively, okay? Cool.)
