It has been reported that Fortnite is due to receive several characters from Paramount-owned television shows in the near future, the most prominent of which include the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The news comes from the most recent episode of the XboxEra podcast, during which the site’s co-founder, Nick Baker, stated he’s heard details pertaining to the heroes in a half shell making a future appearance in Epic Games’ battle royale.
“I’ve been told that apparently Paramount has signed a deal with Epic to bring properties to Fortnite,” Baker said (thanks, VGC). He went on to specify that TMNT would be among said properties, but at the time of writing they’re the only characters who have been “semi-confirmed.”

Other potential crossovers as per this collaboration include South Park and Star Trek, although it’s hard to imagine Cartman making an appearance in a game largely intended for kids,
Fortnite isn’t the only online game bolstering its roster with beloved characters at the moment, with EVE Online seeing an influx of Doctor Who’s Daleks to its galaxy. Meanwhile, critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy 14’s Endwalker expansion is arguably the best update of last year, further cementing the game’s enduring success – if Fortnite isn’t your cup of tea, FF14 is definitely worth a punt.
If for some reason you still haven’t tried Fortnite for yourself, it’s worth noting that its popularity isn’t for nothing. We ranked it as one of the best online games available to play right now alongside massive, widely lauded titles like GTA Online and Mario Kart 8.
