Key Highlights:
- Fortnite teams up with Futurama for an official crossover event.
- Features Fry, Leela, and Bender skins plus themed items and emotes.
- Arrives shortly after the Summer Escape event as part of Update v25.12.
Epic Games has announced another major crossover for Fortnite, this time bringing the world of Futurama into its ever-expanding universe. The collaboration introduces iconic characters from the animated sci-fi comedy, giving players the chance to battle it out on the island with Fry, Leela, and Bender.
The news dropped through Fortnite’s official channels with a short teaser clip captioned “All Hail Hypnotoad,” showing the Planet Express ship crashing into a billboard before cutting to black. The announcement quickly set social media buzzing, as players speculated about how Futurama’s humour and futuristic style would fit within the game’s current Chapter 4: Season 3 “Wilds” theme.
Personally, I don’t think there’s been a better time than now considering Mega City is not only one of the most popular POI’s, but it’s a perfect match for a Futurama theme.
The crossover arrived shortly after the conclusion of the Summer Escape event and was rolled out through Update v25.12. Alongside the new skins, players gained access to themed back blings, pickaxes, and emotes inspired by the show, including a Hypnotoad item and the Planet Express Ship glider.
This isn’t the first time Fortnite has tapped into animated TV series. The Simpsons, Rick and Morty, and Dragon Ball have all previously received dedicated content drops. The Futurama update continues Epic’s push to merge gaming with beloved pop culture properties, reinforcing Fortnite’s reputation as one of the most ambitious crossover platforms in the industry.
Fortnite is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices.
