After teasing the players for about a week by referencing Shenron, Fortnite revealed its newest collaboration with Dragon Ball on August 16th. The latest game update offers the opportunity to collect the seven Dragon Balls during battle, Nimbus Cloud and Kamehameha included. The item shop also offers new Son Goku, Beerus, Vegeta, and Bulma skins, as well as accessories like Master Roshi's staff and shell. Of course, this isn't the first time Fortnite brings iconic characters into the game.
Before Akira Toriyama's creation, Epic worked with other franchises. For instance, Doctor Strange was the jewel of the crown of last season's battle pass. Additionally, DC released Batman/Fortnite: Foundation, which included a free skin code for The Batman Who Laughs. These are only a few examples of collaborations that already happened, but what about what fans want to see now? Reddit users have a lot to say about this.
10 Jack Sparrow Could Help With The Lack Of Pirates In The Game
One of the most successful franchises of the 2000s, Pirates of the Caribbean, amassed a huge fanbase but fell a bit after the Johnny Depp controversies. However, Jack Sparrow's bizarre humor and aesthetics remain fan favorites, which explains why fans would like to see him in Fortnite.
Together with a jar of dirt as back bling, Sparrow would hype the fans. But additionally, according to Redditor u/Traitor_To_Heaven, "there's far too few pirate-themed skins in the game." For an island-themed game, this is truly a shame. Jack Sparrow in the item shop would solve this problem.
9 Fans Really Want To See Doofus Rick With An SMG In His Hands
Rick Doofus is one of the many Ricks in Rick and Morty. The kindest Rick out there is also the least respected due to his unintelligent looks and mild-mannered attitude. While other Ricks bully him on the show, fans find him adorable, so they think it would be funny to see him with a gun in hand in the game.
Redditor u/TheFlexOffender jokingly chose violence by stating they would "fist fight everyone at Epic for Doofus Rick." However, when questioned about Doofus Rick's alleged poop-eating habits by another user, they added that hopefully, the game will include "an emote for that."
8 Peter Parker Is Already Here, But Where Is Miles Morales?
Up until Chapter 3, Season 3, there are around half a dozen Spider-Man or Venom available skins in Fortnite. Unfortunately, none of these is Miles Morales' Spider-Man. The item shop offered a Peter Parker unmasked version of this hero, but Fortnite has failed to show some love for the Ultimate Spidey.
u/Barry_Duckhat believes it's time fans get a Miles Morales skin, but they have some requests for it. They commented: "If we get a Miles Morales morales skin, I hope it will have that comic shading from the movie," referring to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse unique animation style.
7 The Sponge Bob Crew Would Be Hilarious & Easy
Sometimes Fortnite is all about having the coolest skins, but more often than not, fans also love to go into bizarre directions and popularize strange mascot-like characters, like The Brat or Cuddle Team Leader. This goes great with Fortnite's aesthetic, which explains why so many players want to see Sponge Bob in the game.
u/PlushtrapChaser24319 thinks it would be hilarious to see "Squidward craking 90s on" other players, while u/Tokyoreddead believes "it would be so easy to make a set with gliders and all." So hopefully, soon, fans will be able to arrive on the island with a jellyfish as a glider and a Krusty Krab spatula as a pickaxe.
6 Hazel & Cha-Cha Already Remind The Fans Of Fortnite Style
Comic readers and Netflix fans know Umbrella Academy is full of interesting characters with incredible abilities that would make excellent Fortnite skins. However, no one can deny Hazel and Cha-Cha take the cake. The two psychopathic time-traveling assassins have an impeccable sense of style and look great holding all kinds of weapons.
Redditor u/Edward_Lupin believes "they would fit so well into the established aesthetic of Fortnite." They aren't wrong. Hazel and Cha-Cha already remind the players of other Fortnite skins, like the Bassassin, which is basically a fish in a suit, often available in the item shop.
5 Potterheads Don't Lose Hope
The Harry Potter franchise accomplished things that no other franchise has. Given this, it has a special place in the fandom's hearts regardless of how much time passes. No matter what other sagas arrive, fans always return to the Wizarding World. But, of course, they would love to do it in Fortnite too.
Since most collaborations serve as marketing for current sagas and the Harry Potter franchise will release Hogwarts Legacy in 2023, players believe there is still a chance to play as their favorite member of the Golden Trio. u/motherships say they are "crossing fingers for a collab when the new Harry Potter game comes out."
4 Invincible Features Many Incredible Characters That Fortnite Could Use
When asked who they would want in Fortnite, u/Gabedawg31 said, "anyone from Invincible.” This Redditor believes “there’s so much potential for skins.” For example, there could be “a Teen Team bundle, Omni-Man, and Invincible, Guardians of the Globe bundle, even a stand-alone viltrumite bundle would work.”
So far, Fortnite has introduced dozens of superheroes from other franchises, but Invincible remains ignored regardless of its success following the Amazon series. Hopefully, Mark Grayson will become part of this world by the second season premiere.
3 There's A Lot That Can Be Done With Link From The Legend Of Zelda
u/KnightMan1508 dares to share their dream with their fellow Redditors: "Link skin based on Breath of the Wild, but with styles based on other games (Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, etc.). Hylian shield back bling, or if your crazy, Wolf Link Pet Back Bling. Master Sword as a harvesting tool. Paraglider glider."
This user's idea is particularly ambitious. The Legend of Zelda is one of those franchises with enough lore to create an incredible Fortnite bundle so that it would be a dream come true. But unfortunately, Nintendo doesn't seem interested in sharing its characters with Fortnite.
2 Some Nostalgic Fans Want The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Since it first premiered in 1993, Power Rangers has established itself as one of the most successful media franchises ever. Now, after around 30 generations, fans are still as loyal as they were in the beginning, especially regarding the OG generation, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Given this, fans would love to have these heroes on their Fortnite lockers.
Redditor u/voltr0n57 has an excellent proposal: "Emote? “It's Morphin time! Pickaxe? Their weapons. Back blings? Their power coins OR their weapons. Skin variations? Teenagers with attitude or their ranger uniforms." It's time for Fortnite to bring the '90s nostalgia with these characters.
1 Fans Are Willing To Pay Good Money For A Breaking Bad Collab
Given its constant collaboration with PG-13 franchises, many gamers believe Fortnite is only for kids. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. It's time for Epic games to realize many players would be willing to spend money on skins from more mature series and films.
For example, Redditor u/forbyte_82_help says they would be willing to spend "3k bucks" on Walter White from Breaking Bad. This is the standard price for an expensive skin. Another Redditor, u/jombica, comments that they "could not resist. Hopefully, 3k includes Jessie." The two users even commented on possible emotes that refer to iconic moments of the TV show.
