Fortnite Fan Designs Epic Fallout-Themed Skin: Could a Bethesda Crossover Be Next?

A Fortnite enthusiast has creatively envisioned what a Fallout-themed skin might look like in the game, adding to the ongoing enthusiasm for crossover skins. Fortnite is known for its extensive collaborations, featuring icons from various fields including Lewis Hamilton, Ariana Grande, and Neymar Jr., as well as characters from other popular video games.

Among its notable crossovers, Fortnite has previously introduced skins from Street Fighter in 2022 and Assassin's Creed characters like Ezio and Eivor in Chapter 3: Season 2. However, despite many game franchises receiving the Fortnite crossover treatment, Fallout has yet to be included. Originating from Interplay Entertainment in 1997 and currently produced by Bethesda, Fallout remains a standout RPG that has not officially paired with Fortnite.

In light of this, a creative Reddit user, DudeWheresMyWizard, has crafted a concept for a Fortnite skin dubbed Vault Dweller Jones. This concept outfits the iconic Fortnite character, Jonesy, in the blue Vault Jumpsuit recognizable from Fallout, complete with the Vault Boy mascot’s thumbs-up gesture, sunglasses, and the essential Pip-Boy device on his wrist. Accompanying Vault Dweller Jones in the concept is Mister Handy, the robotic assistant frequent in the Fallout series.

Fortnite and Fallout: Potential Crossover on the Horizon?

Despite the absence of an official collaboration between Epic Games and Bethesda, there are rumors of a possible Fortnite x Fallout crossover. These speculations are further fueled by prominent leaker ShiinaBR, who hints at an upcoming significant update for Fallout 4 coinciding with its release on the Epic Games Store. A similar pattern was observed with The Elder Scrolls Online, which celebrated its Epic Store debut with Fortnite collaborations, introducing themed skins and cosmetics.

While it remains uncertain if and when Fallout will officially enter the Fortnite universe, the battle royale's future looks promising. Leaks suggesting Fortnite's 2024 roadmap include potential returns of past collaborations like Among Us and Marvel, as well as exciting new inclusions such as Billie Eilish and Metallica at the Fortnite Festival. As Fortnite continues to evolve, fans eagerly await confirmation on whether the Fallout franchise will finally be integrated into the game’s expansive world.
