Fallout Officially Coming to Fortnite: What to Expect from the Collaboration
After weeks of rumors and leaks teasing a collaboration between Epic Games' popular battle royale title and Bethesda's iconic RPG franchise, Fallout is officially coming to Fortnite. Speculation about the collaboration had been circulating among fans for some time, especially following the release of Amazon Prime's Fallout TV show. Today's official announcement confirms that the nuclear wasteland of Fallout will indeed be making its way to Fortnite.
The specifics of the collaboration are still unclear, as the developers have not provided detailed information regarding the cosmetic items and other offerings that will be included. However, previous collaborations have typically featured one or more themed player skins, back blings, weapon wraps, and emotes based on the property in question, usually available for purchase in the game's item shop.

The official Fortnite Twitter account revealed the collaboration this morning with an artwork depicting a suit of power armor from Fallout against the backdrop of what appears to be a factory. However, no official release date has been announced yet. The post was accompanied by just two emojis—a winking face and a thumbs up—playing into the fans' speculation and referencing the series' mascot, Vault Boy.
What Will Fallout in Fortnite Look Like?
Fans quickly responded with excitement and questions about the collaboration, wondering which Fallout game or property would serve as the inspiration for the designs and items. However, Epic has not provided any official responses. The most recent game in the series, Fallout 76, seems unlikely to be the primary source of inspiration due to its controversial reputation, making the previous main title, Fallout 4, the most obvious choice.
However, it's entirely possible that the items will be drawn from the franchise as a whole, incorporating fan-favorite elements from across the series. Epic has done this in the past with franchises like Family Guy and Resident Evil, offering cosmetic bundles that include items from multiple sources within the series. Therefore, anything is possible for Fallout.
This collaboration also presents a unique opportunity for Fortnite's musical offerings, as the game sells "Jam Tracks" that can be played in its premier rhythm game mode, "Fortnite Festival." Fallout is known for its iconic music spanning several decades, so fans might see some of these tunes make their way into the game as well.
