Fortnite Leak Reveals Major New Crossover
A leak has revealed a major crossover with Pirates of the Caribbean coming soon to Fortnite in Chapter 5 Season 3. Epic Games is well known for getting major IPs to collaborate with Fortnite. From Star Wars to Marvel, DC, and LEGO, there have been a large number of properties that have been incorporated into Fortnite.
On May 3, Epic Games released its now seemingly annual Star Wars collaboration with Fortnite. As Star Wars cosmetics flood the shop, themed items are un-vaulted throughout Fortnite’s game modes. Things like Lightsabers, Blasters, Stormtroopers, and Darth Vader have appeared throughout the map during the event. Now, it seems like Fortnite is gearing up for its next major crossover.
In a tweet from reliable Fortnite leaker HYPEX, Pirates of the Caribbean may be the next major IP crossing over with the game. A roadmap for Fortnite was leaked earlier in the year, which included things like Metallica, Doctor Doom, Karol G, and Snoop Dogg. On that list was Pirates of the Caribbean, the Disney franchise that had its major film debut in 2003. This lines up with the image on the roadmap that seems to be a Mad Max theme for Chapter 5 Season 3.

An update for LEGO Fortnite is also rumored to come along with the new season. Included in the leaked roadmap is an image of a LEGO form of a Klombo. Klombos were introduced in Fortnite‘s v19.10 update back in 2022. Players could feed Klombos up to two Klomberries at a time, which would launch an item out of the blowhole located on the back of its head. It’s unknown as to what role the Klombos could have in LEGO Fortnite at this time.
