One of the biggest strengths of Lego is that you're only limited to your imagination. You're given a bunch of blocks and told to make whatever you like, and the same can mostly be said for Lego Fortnite, the free-to-play Minecraft-style mode recently added to Fortnite. While players are managing to make airships and recreate Star Destroyers, there's one big problem players are running into that's stopping them from unleashing their true creativity.
The Binding of Isaac’s Creator Says a Fortnite Crossover is Coming
09.12.2023 - 22:53 / gamepur.com
The Binding of Isaac is a beloved roguelike that’s grown in scope with every expansion alongside its fan base, who adore the visuals and the way they can jump in, and no two runs will ever be the same. Today, its creator seems to have closed a deal on a Fortnite crossover.
Epic Games somehow manages to score incredible collaborations with major franchises, characters, brands, and more. Every new season drops in the next most incredible crossover, whether it’s Spiderman or, more recently, Solid Snake. Today, though, The Binding of Isaac fans were stunned and overjoyed when the game’s creator, Edmund McMillen, explained how he was very open to a collaboration with Epic Games to bring the franchise to Fortnite, and looks to have made a deal already.

Edmund McMillen Goes From Asking for The Binding of Isaac X Fortnite Crossover to Making it Happen
Today is the third and final day in what has been a trio of successes for Epic Games’ Fortnite. Over the past three days, the company has released LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival within the Fortnite ecosystem, drawing in millions of players. The game has seen a new lease of life that’s gone beyond what the incredible OG Season achieved.
As if this wasn’t enough excitement, in response to a question on Twitter, The Binding of Isaac’s creator has shown how interested he is in a crossover between his title and Fortnite. While it’s open to interpretation, the words he wrote sound rather serious to us. “Tell me who to talk to and I’ll make it happen.”
Fans of both games couldn’t be more thrilled about the idea. One even tagged the official Fortnite Twitter account in the conversation, to which Edmund McMillen replied roughly one hour later with the words, “We did it!”
It’s hard to know how serious McMillen is about this, but what is clear is that he’d be doing his fans and his game a disservice by lying. We’re optimistic about the outcome though, since McMillen has a proven track record of completing things he says he’ll do very quickly. A great example is The Binding of Isaac’s recent multiplayer beta launch.
As should be expected in these situations, fans have gotten carried away far too quickly. One has even used MS Paint to mock up the skin and items players could get as part of The Binding of Isaac X Fortnite crossover when it comes to fruition.

Microsoft Flight Simulator adds a bunch of European cities, letting you grab Zagreb and try The Hague
I love how Microsoft Flight Simulator exists in the background now, like the distant roar of an overhead flight path. Not only is it just nice to have a shiny, new version of one of the gaming OGs there to pick up and play at any time, every now and then it drops an absolutely gorgeous new trailer showing off some wild technical wizardry or hyper-detailed new cityscape. That's exactly what's happened now, with Flight Sim's latest update inviting you to pay a flying visit to an eclectic collection of European cities.

There’s a legion of Fallout fans out there who’ll tell you that Obsidian Entertainment did a much better job of capturing the series’ essence with Fallout: New Vegas than Bethesda Game Studios has done with all of its mainline instalments so far.

Fortnite Festival Season 1 Is Live, Epic Confirms Rock Band Controller Support Coming
At the top of the month, developer Epic Games launched Chapter 5 of Fortnite's popular Battle Royale mode. But with the start of this new chapter, the team also launched three new experiences within the Fortnite launcher. The first was Lego Fortnite, a survival Minecraft-like game, and soon after, the second, Rocket Racing, a new racing mode created by Rocket League developers Psyonix, went live. The third and final new experience of Chapter 5 (so far, at least) went live over the weekend – it's called Fortnite Festival and is basically Rock Band-lite but in the universe of Fortnite.
