Epic Games has announced a Fallout crossover for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3, adding iconic gear such as the T-60 Power Armor into the game.
Fortnite fans, get ready for an epic crossover as Chapter 5, Season 3, will launch on May 24, 2024. This season takes players to a post-apocalyptic desert, complete with monster trucks, large vehicles, and exciting collaborations with that Fallout universe.
Epic Games has officially confirmed that this new season will feature Fallout-themed cosmetics, including the legendary T-60 Power Armor from the Brotherhood of Steel. This collaboration comes as interest in the Fallout franchise has been renewed thanks to the Fallout Prime Video series. With the launch of next-gen updates for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, the timing is perfect; as if the companies coordinated to do a cross-promotion of their popular intellectual properties.
Like all Fortnite crossover events, the Fallout-themed skins and gear will only be available for a limited time, so players must act fast to get their hands on these coveted items. I can see this ending up on the most sought-after skin list in the future just by looking at the assets released.
A teaser clip released on the Fortnite Twitter account has given fans a glimpse of what’s to come, showcasing some variations of the T-60 Power Armor and characters wielding laser rifles, a staple weapon in the Fallout series. Eagle-eyed fans also spotted a Fallout Combat Shotgun in the teaser, and there is speculation that a redesigned Combat Assault Rifle may also make an appearance.
But the Fallout collaboration is just one piece of the puzzle. Chapter 5 Season 3: Wrecked will be a thrilling adventure in the desert. Datamines from the HYPEX account suggest the introduction of specific desert landmarks or biomes, as well as changes to the steam trains for locomotives that will wind through the map. Rumors are also circulating about potential collaborations with Metallica, Fall Guys, and Pirates of the Caribbean, though this has yet to be confirmed.
Aside from new cosmetics and potential crossovers, players can look forward to new events and challenges designed to keep everything fresh and exciting, or at least chaotic. The scheduled downtime for the launch of this season is expected to begin around 2:00 or 3:00 AM EDT and last for about four hours, with the new season airing worldwide shortly after that point.
As the launch date approaches, anticipation is building, especially for fans of both Fallout and Fortnite. Whether you’re a longtime Fallout fan or just looking for a new adventure, Chapter 5 Season 3: Wrecked promises an unforgettable experience. So gear up, Fortnite fans, and get ready to dive into the post-apocalyptic chaos with a dash of Fallout for extra spice.
