Fortnite fans are excited about the prospect of the game collaborating with Prime Video’s hit show The Boys. It is almost a tradition that every popular character, TV show, film, or franchise warrants its own Fortnite skins. It is a sign that the particular piece of media is officially a pop-culture phenomenon, and based on a recent tweet, The Boys might be collaborating with the popular video game by Epic Games.
Fortnite fans react to The Boys collab rumors
Fortnite fans are hyped over the possibility of a collaboration with the hit TV show The Boys. The satirical superhero TV series has garnered immense love from fans over the years. The Boys is airing its fifth and final season currently, and if the collab rumors are true, this series would be a perfect parting gift for fans.
The X account HYPE X tweeted in bold letters, “THE BOYS x FORTNITE IS CONFIRMED IN THE WORKS. Likely dropping later this season — VIA Sam Leaks.” Unsurprisingly, the tweet garnered 23K likes, 1.7K bookmarks and retweets, and 428 comments, as of the time of writing.
Fans have expressed their excitement in the comments section. One user requested, “Please bring Soldier Boy and Noir,” accompanied by a GIF of Jensen Ackles. A second fan commented, “Aww yes, my guess is Homelander, Starlight, and Butcher.” A third fan wrote, “The Boys in Fortnite? Time to get diabolical.” A fourth fan penned, “Time to pull up,” with a GIF of Antony Starr as Homelander.
A fifth fan remarked, “We better get a f***ing Soldier Boy skin, and it BETTER look like Jensen Ackles.” Finally, one fan expressed, “Both my dream collabs in the same season—GOT and now The Boys—holy s**t, thank you Fortnite.”
Epic Games hasn’t commented on the online buzz, as of the time of writing. Notably, there is no additional information on either the content or the release date.
It seems like The Boys isn’t the only big TV show Fortnite is targeting. HYPE X had previously teased a collaboration with Game of Thrones. The account tweeted at the time, “GAME OF THRONES IS COMING TO FORTNITE SOON.” This development comes six years after Game of Thrones’ controversial final season, which left viewers divided over its ending.
