Fortnite x Creed 3 collaboration confirmed, here's what you can expect

Fortnite collaborations have been on the rise for quite some time now and have generally received a positive response from the player base. Over the course of the past few months, several characters from across the entertainment space have entered the looped island in the form of in-game cosmetics.

Out of all the collaborations, anime and films have been the most popular amongst the Fortnite community as loopers enjoy dropping on the island as their favorite fictional characters, be it Son Gohan from Dragon Ball Z or Luke Skywalker from the Star Wars franchise. However, in the most recent Chapter 4 Season 1, the game held back on collaborating with films as the dynamic shift was happening towards anime for quite some time.

The recent buzz is growing around the upcoming Creed III film, which stars Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors in lead roles. A potential collaboration with Fortnite that was leaked earlier is now reportedly confirmed and will likely see several in-game cosmetics tied to the franchise arriving in the Item Shop. Here's what you can expect from the Creed III collaboration in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1.

Creed III collaboration to bring several in-game cosmetics to Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1, leaks confirm

According to a recent post by FazeClan, a potential Creed III collaboration in Fortnite that was leaked earlier has been confirmed to arrive in-game on March 1, 2023. This occurred during a special early access screening of the movie hosted by the esports organization in Los Angeles.

The relevant news post on Faze Clan's official Twitter page hinted at the release of some exclusive merch that will be launched alongside a special reveal featuring Fortnite. Players are further speculating that the reveal might launch an exclusive quest event in-game that was leaked earlier alongside several cosmetics that were also hinted to hit the Item Shop.

Several leaks by YouTuber ShadowX6 reveal that a free reward will be provided to players during a quest event, which might feature a boxing gloves pickaxe that will function in the same way as the popular Hulk Smashers. Furthermore, the collaboration might also bring cosmetic outfits of characters from the franchise, such as Michael B. Jordan's Adonis Creed and the highly anticipated Sylvester Stallone's Rocky Balboa model in-game.

Additionally, the rewards might feature a free weapon wrap, a boxing stance emote, and potentially XP rewards that should help players level up faster right before the season ends later next week. However, this event might clash with the ongoing Most Wanted questline that players are already grinding to unlock several free cosmetic rewards by gaining INFAMY across Battle Royale matches.

The official synopsis of the latest film in the Creed franchise is as follows:

"Still dominating the boxing world, Adonis Creed is thriving in his career and family life. When Damian, a childhood friend and former boxing prodigy resurfaces after serving time in prison, he's eager to prove that he deserves his shot in the ring. The face-off between former friends is more than just a fight. To settle the score, Adonis must put his future on the line to battle Damian -- a fighter who has nothing to lose."

Creed III releases in theaters worldwide on March 3, 2023 and is directed by lead actor Michael B. Jordan. The film stars Jonathan Majors and Tessa Thompson in supporting roles, while a cameo appearance by Sylvester Stallone is expected by fans.
