Fortnite’s next big crossover will be with Mortal Kombat

Despite the most recent entry failing to meet the expectations of fans in the long-run, Mortal Kombat remains one of the most iconic franchises in gaming. As such, it comes as no surprise that the series is set to make its first appearance in Epic’s ever-expanding live-service shooter Fortnite next Season.

As reported by leaker FNBRintel, the next Season of Fortnite (which is set to go live after the conclusion of Chapter 6 Season 1 on the 21st of February) will feature a crossover with the iconic fighting game franchise Mortal Kombat.

According to FNBRintel, the collab will include two skins alongside two additional mythic alternate outfits for none other than the two faces of the franchise: Scorpion and Sub-Zero.

Sub-Zero is planned to be unlockable via the upcoming Battle Pass, with Scorpion said to be coming “later in Season 2.

Beyond this, FNBRintel also confirmed that the mythic skins will include Scorpion’s spear hook and Sub-Zero’s ice gauntlets – with the former including the iconic “get over here” voiceline when hitting a player.

Given just how entrenched the Mortal Kombat series is to the history of video games, it is somewhat surprising to see it having taken this long for such a crossover to take place.

While we may never get an official Street Fighter x Mortal Kombat game, fans of both franchises will soon be able to duke it out in Fortnite at the very least.
