DUNE X Fortnite Crossover Leaked And Fishstick's A Sandworm
Get ready to Milly Rock in the name of House Atreides. The next big Fortnite crossover has been leaked, and it’s supposedly a tie-in for the upcoming sci-fi epic, Dune.
Fortnite is no stranger to huge media collaborations, with the battle royale giant receiving skins from The Walking Dead, Suicide Squad, and even Ariana Grande so far this year. It’s even rumoured to be getting its very own movie, which could make for an epic concept - pun intended.
What is the Dune x Fortnite crossover?
A leak on Twitter, by Fortnite YouTuber HYPEX, shows a series of Dune inspired skins and items. In the first Dune bundle, there are skins for Chani and Paul Atreides - appropriately donning their stillsuits and masks - who are played by Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet respectively in the upcoming film.
The bundle also comes with two backpacks of differing sizes for the characters to wear. Lastly is the loading screen titled ‘The Stickworm,’ which features the two characters posed on the desert of Arrakis while a Sandworm resembling Fishsticks rises out of the sand to attack the battlebus.
The second bundle features some Dune appropriate items, like the Maker Hooks and Twinblades as the newest harvesting tools. The Ornithopter is the newest glider, which is described as a “multi-winged attack ship” that resembles a dragon fly. We also have another emote, called Sand Walk, which looks like a super slowed-down version of the Cha Cha Slide.
When is the new crossover coming to Fortnite?
Right now, we have no concrete release date, although Dune will be releasing worldwide on Friday 22 September, so sometime this week or whenever the next update comes we’ll likely be able to purchase the bundles. In the Tweet by HYPEX the prices are also listed as 4,800 V-Bucks, but he states these are currently placeholders.
In the YouTube video by PokeDEmon the values are slightly different at 6,100 and 4,600 V-Bucks respectively, so this may illuminate the price point a little more. Regardless of when it comes and how much it costs, will you be representing Arrakis in Fortnite?
