Fortnite x Futurama crossover confirmed with new trailer

The Fortnite x Futurama crossover has been rumored for a long time. It's one of the most popular television shows running today and is now heading to the metaverse, where brands inevitably end up if they're popular enough.

Per the tweet, the collaboration will hit the game on July 26. It's currently unclear if this will be an Item Shop crossover or not, though it is very likely. The teaser is just three short seconds and only showcases what is expected to be a new glider.

Right now, there is no confirmation on what the crossover will entail. Fortnite will likely see an influx of skins from the show, potentially including Fry, Leela, and Bender. Gliders, pickaxes, and more will be included for those characters as well.

That said, none of it is confirmed. The crossover is coming, but what it will include remains anyone's guess. Fortunately, gamers don't have to wait long to find out what will officially be coming to the game.

It's also possible, especially since the trailer takes place in Mega City, that there will be an island crossover. NPCs, in-game items, and potentially new locations could be on the way as well.

Futurama ended with an eighth season in 2013 but is returning to Disney+ after the streaming giant picked up and renewed the show. Thus, it's a perfect time for a crossover since it is being pushed back into the public eye.
