Summary
The Binding of Isaaccreator Edmund McMillen has offered a new update about his talks with Epic Games regarding aFortnitecollaboration. The potentialFortnitecrossover has surprising but charmingly innocent roots.
Back in December, McMillen responded to a fan’s tweet asking about a potential collab withFortniteby saying, “Tell me who to talk to and I’ll make it happen.” The tweet generated enough excitement that Epic reached out to the famed creator to explore such a thing, a development thatMcMillen confirmed back in January. However, since then, the rumor mill surrounding the potential crossover has died down, until now.
During a recent livestream, McMillen revealed that the talks went well with Epic, who seemed interested in bringingThe Binding of IsaactoFortnite. However, he also explained that he’s unsure when or if the collaboration will actually happen due to Epic’s full plate of plans for the game. Of course, these plans were not specified due to non-disclosure agreements, but fans probably aren’t surprised that Epic has a long list of additions and crossovers planned for the massively popular battle royale. So it seems that ifThe Binding of Isaacdoes come toFortniteafter all, it probably won’t be anytime in the immediate future.
Fortnite Still Exploring a Crossover With The Binding of Isaac
Details recently leaked aboutFortnite’s next collaboration, which is rumored to start sometime next month. TheAvatar: The Last Airbenderevent will introduce a mini-battle pass that allows users to unlock an Aang skin, Appa glider, and more. Additionally, beginning on April 2, owners of the standard battle pass can complete quests to unlock a Korra skin, another character from the popular franchise. The enduring popularity ofFortnitehas many franchises and individuals eager to be featured in the game, including some surprising figures.
Recently,Dr. Phil expressed his desireto be added toFortnitein a TikTok video, which quickly went viral and currently sits at over 7.3 million views. Seeing that McMillen’s tweet earned him a meeting with Epic Games, it’s probably safe to assume that Dr. Phil and his household name may have caught the attention of theFortnitedeveloper. The potential collaboration would continueFortnite’s tradition of adding skins for famous figures, with previous ones depicting LeBron James, Ariana Grande, Neymar Jr., Eminem, and many more.
As for other potential crossovers, aFortniteleak from earlier in Marchclaimed thatGod of War’s Kratos and Atreus would be added later this season. Fans might remember the Kratos skin that was added toFortniteback in 2020, so the new one will likely feature a revamped design.
