Avatar, IShowSpeed, Attack on Titan, and 5 more Fortnite collabs that fans want in 2023

8) Avatar

With the continued success of Avatar: The Way of Water, players have been demanding cosmetics of the blue aliens of Pandora in the game. As in the movie, Pandorans are great warriors, and the collaboration would bring in an interesting element in the game as they wield weapons of the loop and emerge victorious as they do in the films.

While there have been no major leaks, the crossover is purely speculated by fans of the franchise who play the game and believe that the arrival of the characters in the loop would definitely be interesting to see.


7) IShowSpeed

The viral sensation and controversial YouTube streamer iShowSpeed (Darren Watkins) is known for his offbeat comedic livestreams and troll videos. His audience knows that he is a major Fortnite fan and frequently plays the game on his streams purely for entertainment. They have collectively teamed up to demand his Icon Series skin in the game.

While Epic likes to stay away from controversial personalities, it might be interesting to see if his skin will arrive in the game with his famous emote dance.


6) Attack on Titan

As anime collaborations are on the rise, Fortnite might finally bring Attack on Titan, which has been one of the most in-demand collaborations in the game this year. Since its debut in Call of Duty last year, loopers have been highly demanding their that favorite characters, such as Eren Yeager, Levi, Mikasa Ackerman, and even the Colossal Titan, arrive in Fortnite.

The venture looks highly probable to arrive in the game soon enough as the third part of the anime's final season will be aired in mid-2023.


5) Cal Kestis (Star Wars: Jedi Survivor)

As Star Wars collabrations occur way too often in Fortnite, Epic might collaborate with Lucasfilm and EA to finally bring over the beloved Jedi from the Fallen Order video game series.

With the new Jedi: Survivor game out this summer, Cal Kestis might finally make his debut in Fortnite. He might bring his companion BD-1 as well as his mighty lightsaber skills, alongside other characters from the Star Wars franchise.

While the collaboration hasn't yet been leaked, it is highly probable that it will arrive in-game. It might also feature a bonus reward similar to Star Wars Squadrons, where players who bought a copy of the title received a special Fortnite glider.


4) Family Guy

One of the most "leaked" and demanding collaborations, Peter Griffin and the entire Family Guy gang are highly speculated to arrive later this year. Several leakers have seen the codename Waffle Warrior in the encrypted game files that tie directly to the character and the famous animated TV franchise.

However, these are simply speculations and nothing has been confirmed or teased by the game itself as of yet.


3) Kang The Conqueror

With the Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantamania film coming out next month, the new big bad of Marvel, Kang The Conqueror, might finally make his debut in Fortnite after a short introduction of sorts in the Disney+ series, Loki.

When Thanos played the role of a major antagonist in the early MCU phases, the official cosmetic of the Titan Emperor was added to the game.

Similarly, players can expect Kang to be added to Fortnite, alongside a Mythic Item that resembles the villain's powers and his style in the comics as well as the film.


2) Lil Nas X

Lil Nas X is one of the most viral hip hop sensations amongst the youth these days. Fortnite players have long been speculating about an official collaboration with the artist ever since his debut album dropped last year.

Moreover, the fan concept of the artist's in-game cosmetics went viral and Nas himself made a TikTok asking his fans if they wanted it in-game or not. Shortly after, the entire community speculated on an official feature with the artist, however, that was simply a rumor and nothing has been confirmed or leaked as of yet.


1) The Last of Us (Joel and Ellie)

The HBO television sensation and Naughty Dog's top game, The Last of Us is making the rounds on social media and has become a household name with its brilliant TV show adaptation. Fans of the franchise and Fortnite players are highly demanding skins for their favorite characters in the game.

Moreover, they have been speculating that this might happen soon enough. This is because the characters from Uncharted were released during the launch of their film adaptation, and Naughty Dog is sure to bring Ellie and Joel to Fortnite soon enough.
