One of the next crossover games that Epic Games will introduce in Fortnite would be Overwatch, the Blizzard shooter. Many sources seem to confirm this rumor.
You know that Fortnite is the king of collaborations. Between collaborations with Naruto, Dragon Ball, Batman, Indiana Jones and other well-known personalities from the world of music… Fortnite continues to offer its players cosmetics linked to other universes.
As Overwatch tries to follow the path taken by Fortnite, it looks like the two games are coming together. It’s not the first time that Fortnite has added cosmetic elements from another video game franchise, we saw it with Street Fighter or The Witcher.
¿Se acerca Fortnite x Overwatch?
Many data miners or other leakers have noticed Overwatch characters appearing in the game files. Reaper, Angel, Widowmaker or Angel. Except that this information is still vague.
it really is HypeX Yes Overwatch Cavalry who put their finger on a more or less precise element. Indeed, the latter would have found a spray referring to Hammond, the genetically modified hamster who fights on his Bouldozer.
Either Fortnite took too much inspiration from Overwatch in the new spray, or maybe there’s a next collaboration with them… (Rated by @OWCavalry) pic.twitter.com/GHcpTcD9SR

In a humorous tone, the latter specifies: “Either Fortnite was too inspired by Overwatch in the new spray, or there may be a collaboration with them.” It goes without saying that the spray is very representative of Hammond: the pose is the same, the facial expression is the same, but the coloring is different.
However, many people are skeptical of this idea. Some think it’s actually a lazy piece of art copying Overwatch. However, it seems quite strange that Epic Games tolerates such plagiarism. Only time will tell if this “one day” crossover will be released in the future.
One thing is certain, you can get a skin of Geralt de Riv, the famous wizard from The Witcher license, for free. All Battle Pass owners will be able to access all six challenges to unlock this character model. You have until the end of the Battle Pass to claim it, so don’t delay too long. However, if Geralt’s model isn’t your cup of tea, maybe Doom Slayer will satisfy you? It can also be obtained by completing bonus missions related to the Battle Pass, so jump into the heart of the storm to collect all these cosmetics!
