Fortnite Characters

While Fortnite can be considered the king of crossover promotions (seriously, just take a look at how many collaborations they've done with other gamesmoviesartists, and even shoes) right now, fans are always dreaming of the ultimate collaboration between two distinctly different game titles. And while one would say that there's already a game out there that does this well (and it's a pretty good game, don't get us wrong), the characters are mostly just pulled from their respective games. Indeed, the move sets of said characters are very inspired by their original game, but it's still not a one-is-to-one translation.

So, what if gamers can finally have the ultimate crossover? Between two games that belong in the same genre but come from different developers or publishers? You'd probably get an ultimate game that'll be talked about for quite some time, bringing two distinct fanbases together. You'd finally be able to discuss and figure out who's the true winner in character A vs. character B debates (until, at least, a nerf or ban hammer is dropped and apologists on both sides restart the argument).

But you probably won't see that ever. Between licensing, distribution, brand exposure, technical problems, and so forth, it'll never happen unless one studio or publisher buys out the other (which is unlikely, since the top video game publishers are pretty much loaded with cash).

One talented graphic designer, however, isn't giving up hope. User DesertGrafittiMaker posted two concept screenshots on what would happen if Fortnite would crossover with either Apex Legends or Overwatch.

Fortnite Legends

In his first post, DesertGrafittiMaker put up a concept screenshot that takes the legends selection screen of Apex Legends and replaces the aforementioned game's legends with Fortnite skins. From left to right, top to bottom, we see Renegade, Rippley, Remedy, Aim, Drift, Brite Bomber, Cuddle, Rex, Raptor, Fishsticks, and Visitor as the selectable legends. DesertGrafitiMaker himself puts down some possible skills for the Fortnite Characters if they're ported to Apex Legends:

Rippley

Passive: Boosted Heals

When Near Teammates all healing gets reduced by 10%

Tactical: Shield Poo:

Provides Massive Healing For 16 seconds to nearby teammates

Ultimate: Maximum Anger

Call the power within and spread toxicity under your feet for 20 seconds doing small damage + Movement speed 20%

Visitor

Passive: Visor Scan

Allows to see the faint outline of players through walls in a 10-meter radius

Tactical: Reality Bend

Tear a rift between time and space to act as a security camera create a second one in another location to spy on the enemy

Ultimate: 7 Universes

Summon 7 in a Giant Rockets around a specific location 6 rockets around a main one in the middle

Overnite...or maybe Fortwatch?

For his second concept, DesertGrafittiMaker combined the pick screen of Overwatch and Fortnite. And the hero pick screen stays true to its Overwatch origin. You can the Fortnite island in the background with the hero selection on the foreground nicely divided up between the four hero classes of Overwatch. And, just like the Apex Legends crossover, the heroes are replaced by Fortnite skins.

DesertGrafittiMaker also commented that he's looking for other crossovers. So far, most of the suggestions are non-FPS competitors, but nonetheless, it'll be exciting whichever concept he comes up with next.
