Summary

  • A Mortal Kombat crossover may be coming to Fortnite as part of Chapter 6 Season 2.
  • This would include two new quest character skins, each with their own special Mythic weapon or ability.
  • Scorpion and Sub-Zero are speculated to be the characters coming to the popular battle royale.

A new rumor suggests that Fortnite might be getting a crossover with yet another beloved gaming series, Mortal Kombat. Epic’s massively popular multiplayer battle royale game is no stranger to crossovers, with guest character skins and promotional Fortnite events inspired by a wide range of pop culture franchises like Marvel, Star Wars, Transformers, and many more.

This has even extended to other video games, as Fortnite has allowed players to battle across the Island as icons like Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft, Halo’s Master Chief, and God of War’s Kratos, among numerous others. Recent rumors have suggested that crossovers with Devil May Cry and Like a Dragon could be in the cards, as well as another wave of Fortnite content based on Metal Gear Solid. Fortnite’s many surprise crossovers and guest character skins have proven that anything is possible when it comes to Epic’s flagship battle royale, and word has it that a pair of iconic ninjas might be sneaking onto the Island in the future.

Reliable Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR recently claimed that a Mortal Kombat crossover could be coming to Fortnite as part of Chapter 6 Season 2 (via Reddit user KvasirTheOld on r/GamingLeaksAndRumours). This would include two new quest character skins, each with their own special Mythic weapon or ability. The leak doesn’t state which two Mortal Kombat characters these skins would be, but many have guessed that it would be Scorpion and Sub-Zero, the two de-facto mascots of the series.

Fortnite Could Get Mortal Kombat Skins

Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2 will begin on February 21, with a recent trailer seemingly confirming past rumors that the new season will have a heist theme. Epic has teased that the fan-favorite Fortnite character Midas will return this season with a rugged new look, and other leaks have hinted at a pickle-themed skin that could either be a new Peely variant or maybe even the return of Pickle Rick from Rick and Morty.

As ninjas, Mortal Kombat’s Scorpion and Sub-Zero would fit well with Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2’s supposed heist theme, assuming that they are indeed the two characters that will appear as guest skins in this still-unconfirmed crossover. The Mortal Kombat universe is filled with memorable characters that gamers would love to play in a round of Fortnite, but players should be advised to take this latest claim with a grain of salt like any other unverified rumor until an official confirmation comes from Epic or NetherRealm. Such news probably isn’t too far away though, as Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2 is set to begin later this month.
