Let's talk Fortnite x Overwatch:
I assume this post will be a bit longer than usual, so I'll get the most important stuff out of the way: Yes, it's still real - but it looks like it may have been delayed? In private, people have some question marks about the collab, and I want to fill you in because I leaked that this collab would drop "within 3 months", and that time frame is now about to pass.
First of all, why was it leaked to drop within this time frame? At the time it was leaked, multiple reliable sources and leakers had heard about this collaboration. I won't go too much into detail to avoid getting anyone in trouble, but one source gave me correct information on various collabs I publicly leaked in Late 2025 and Early 2026, and every single one of those turned out to be real and has already been added to the game. The Overwatch collab is the *only* one that has yet to be added - maybe indicating a delay. The source also told me the exact skins we would get in Fortnite, and other independent sources (including other leakers) verified these, adding further credibility to this source and the leak.
Another leaker posted that Tracer would be part of the Battle Pass, and another person we all used to know until a while ago also said the same thing about the collab being part of the Battle Pass. This obviously didn't happen, and people started speculating whether she (Tracer) was swapped out of the Battle Pass. I don't have an answer to that, since I never had a deep conversation about a Battle Pass tie-in with my sources.
What now: I'll keep you updated once I hear actual new information about this collaboration. I don't believe this collab would get canceled because of leaks, but rather it seems to have been pushed back or was never intended for Battle Pass integration (or was *mistaken* for a Battle Pass collab, as it might play another part later this season).
I will keep you posted.
