The Binding of Isaac creator Edmund McMillen has offered a new update about his talks with Epic Games regarding a Fortnite collaboration. The potentialFortnite crossover has surprising but charmingly innocent roots.

Love it or hate it, there’s no denying Fortnite knows how to keep its community engaged. Aside from a constantly changing island, a continuous stream of new weapons, and a new story to unravel every season, Fortnite is home to some of the coolest cosmetics in all of gaming. Customizing your character is a big draw of the battle royale, and there are thousands of ways to make your avatar your own. And nowhere is this more apparent than with the massive selection of Fortnite skins up for grabs.

After a winter barrage of award shows — the Emmys, the Golden Globes, the Grammys — the grandaddy of them all, the Academy Awards, are around the corner. The 96th Oscars may be a coronation for “Oppenheimer,” which comes in with a leading 13 nominations, though other films, including “Barbie,” “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “Poor Things” are in the mix.

Over the last few years, Fortnite has played host to a swathe of musicians, from rappers like Eminem to pop stars like Ariana Grande and the rockers of Weezer. These artists, as well as the likes of Marshmello and Travis Scott, have appeared either in the game’s soundtrack or as hosts of virtual concerts; in what could easily turn into a Black Mirror episode should theiravatars abruptly decide they want out.

Musician, actor, and fashion icon Lady Gaga is coming to Fortnite later this week as part of the famous Fortnite Festival.

In spite of long-running rumors, Doctor Who showrunner Russel T. Davies states that there is no upcoming collaboration between Fortnite and the popular British television series.

While browsing my friends list on Bluesky, I came across a post about the “Marriott Bonvoy Land’’ in Fortnite. Curious as to what that would even look like, I went down the rabbit hole, expecting to suffer through a strange nightmare world of inescapable hotel rooms, or maybe knocking through the walls of a luxury suite with a giant sparkly hammer for a sniper rifle and Slurp Juice.

From Star Wars to Naruto, Epic Games has managed to nab all kinds of brand crossovers for its skins and characters - and it still hasn't counted out going for Nintendo.

Gone are the days of scrounging up loot at dilapidated taco joints and rusty playgrounds in Fortnite. Epic Games released a massive new update to the battle royale game this week as part of Chapter 5 Season 1. The patch literally blew up the OG map with a meteor, replacing it with an entirely new, much fancier map. Instead of rough locales like Greasy Groves or Tomato Temple, players now explore palatial manors like Lavish Lair or the manicured vineyards of Pleasant Piazza. Fortnite is basically a fancy European vacation now, and it feels a bit outside my personal budget.

The upcoming season will also supposedly be called Underground.

After leaks surfaced earlier this week of a potential Eminem live in-game show event in Fortnite, Epic pulled back the curtain to reveal the legendary rapper is joining the likes of Travis Scott and Ariana Grande as real-life performers who have graced the island.

Fortnite, which is currently riding high on the nostalgia of a generation pining for the good old days of five years ago, is extending its Icons line of cosmetics this Friday, 17th November, with the arrival of celebrated F1 driver Lewis Hamilton and his bulldog Roscoe.
