Summary
Recent leaks suggest thatFortnitemight get a crossover withTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlessoon. Epic’s massively successful online battle royale shooter has had its share of guest appearances over the years, with popular characters from other video games, movies, and TV shows being added as playable skins on a semi-regular basis. Some of the most recentFortnitecrossover skins were WWE superstars Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair andStar Warsheroine Ahsoka Tano, all of whom were added as part of the recent Chapter 4.
Another franchise that’s seen plenty of crossovers isTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The pizza-loving, crime-busting Heroes in a Half-Shell have teamed up with countless other characters across comics, animated movies, and even video games. For example, playable skins based on theTurtles were introduced toStreet Fighter 6earlier this month, though many players complained that these alternate costumes were too expensive. A few weeks later,Fall Guysreleased its ownTMNTalternate skins to commemorate the release ofTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, but they are only available for a limited time.

Just as this collaboration is about to expire, a new one could soon begin as suggested by apair of notableFortniteleakers. Twitter user Sam recently revealed that there is a hidden file codenamed “FungusNinja” that simplifies to “MutantNinja,” a possible reference to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Sam admits that most of these secret file names don’t amount to much, but they do point out thatFortnite’s Anakin Skywalker skin was preceded by one aptly labeled “PlotTwist.”
Additionally, Sam points out that a sewer manhole cover was making strange sounds in Slappy Shores beforean in-gameFortnitepizza shopwith an arcade machine in it was added nearby, there is an upcoming augment labeled “Ninja Training,” and a recently added shop background looks suspiciously like the ooze that famously mutated the Turtles into the anthropomorphic heroes they are today. AnotherFortniteleaker by the handle of iFireMonkey supports some of Sam’s information, namely that the supposed “FugusNinja” file is only 7 MB.
Fortnite’s crossover updates typically coincide with a big event regarding the featured property, andTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesis undergoing something of a renaissance lately when it comes to video games. Aside from the aforementionedMutant Mayhemand its many gaming-related promotions, last year’sTMNT: Shredder’s Revengerecently received a considerable wave of DLC this week that added new playable characters and gameplay modes. THQ Nordic also revealed its upcomingTMNT: The Last Ronin, a gritterGod of War-inspired action title based on the IDW-published comic storyline of the same name.
Be itInjustice 2,Street Fighter 6, or evenFall Guys, the wise-cracking team of Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello have been known to show up unexpectedly as special guest character skins, and the brothers could be addingFortniteto that list if these recent leaks are correct. Of course, nothing official has been announced by Epic Games yet, but there was a rumor thatTMNTparent company Paramount signed an agreement with Epic to bring its properties intoFortnitelast year.
Fortniteis available now for Android, iOS, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
