A new leak suggests that Fortnite’s next big collaboration could feature the breakout indie hit R.E.P.O., a popular co-op horror survival game. This is quite the unexpected crossover, with players already stirring up excitement across the community and sharing their thoughts about what cosmetics, companions, or in-game content the collaboration might bring.
Fortnite x R.E.P.O Crossover Collaboration Leaks
Reputable leakers within the Fortnite community, FNBRintel and ShiinaBR, took to social media recently to share with their audiences that a R.E.P.O. collaboration may be appearing in Fortnite very soon. While the post was kept short, sweet, and mysterious, it has been enough to stir a whirlwind of hype among the community of both these titles.
Take a look at the original post shared by FNBRintel below:
As the post itself and any details about the collaboration are still yet to be confirmed by Epic Games, things remain a mystery for the meantime. However, there is already quite a bit of speculation in the community about how a R.E.P.O. crossover may fit into Fortnite, with many believing it will be some form of cosmetic item.
The most logical options would be new Companions or Backblings in the shape/characters of the iconic little robot guys from R.E.P.O. However, there’s also the possibility that they may throw fans a few additional options such as emotes or Gliders and Pickaxes with designs influenced from the indie horror title.
Either way, a potential R.E.P.O. collaboration in Fortnite would be a massive win – not just for fans, but for the indie gaming scene as a whole. Over the last couple of years, other indie co-op titles such as Lethal Company, Content Warning, and PEAK have proven there’s a strong audience for these smaller, more experimental games. Crossover collaborations such as this help to shine a spotlight on creators and introduce games like R.E.P.O. to Fortnite’s huge audience and give them something new to look forward to. Hopefully, this is just the start of more partnerships between standout indie hits and major franchises such as Fortnite!
