Ellie and Joel from The Last of Us are all set to arrive in Fortnite

Fortnite is on a hot streak of collaborations. The latest Chapter 3 Season 3 has teased and brought a profusion of iconic characters from pop culture into the game. Every day, alleged leaks about the upcoming crossover surface in the community, but only a pinch of them holds the truth.

According to the tweet, the Fortnite X Last of Us collab will bring characters Ellie and Joel to the game in the form of cosmetic outfits. The release date will most likely be in September. Most probably, this will be part of the promotion of the upcoming remastered title, The Last of Us Part 1.

Given that the latest season ends on September 18, 2022, one can't help but assume that the next Fortnite Battle Pass will be themed around the Last of Us franchise. If not, the crossover might drop on September 26, also known as Outbreak Day in the Last of Us community.

Although leaks have surfaced, parent organizations like Epic Games, PlayStation, and Naught Dog are yet to divulge any information about the collaboration. However, the community is already ecstatic and has started speculating on different aspects of the crossover.

The Fortnite community is certainly joyous about the upcoming collaboration and players have already started debating and discussing possible cosmetics and other attributes. The first thing that almost everybody bought up was the Golf Club. Players are excited to wield the Driver pickaxe and take a swing at Joel.

While the majority are excited about the joint venture, there are some who are dubious. Building upon the superfluity of leaks in recent seasons, some players believe that this all sounds too good to be true.

However, one thing is for sure: the community now has a brand new collaboration in its hands to speculate and discuss. In the coming days, there will be a profusion of debate about the crossover.
