Wonder, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage (to name just a few) is going to hurt the game’s potential has been a topic of discussion for many.

Fortnite always brings the heat with its collab’s and is set to do so yet again. Coming off the heels of the Marvel and Transformers collaborations, it seems Futurama is next on the menu. Each collab has been handled differently, but they often mean new skins are added to the game. On top of that, some even add brand-new weapons that completely change how players interact with the environment. More recently, we had the Transformers Cybertron Cannon and the Spiderman Web-Shooter, which offered unrivaled mobility. Are collab skins of Fry, Bender, Leela, and more going to be a part of this Futurama x Fortnite collab? We don’t know for sure, but we do know when everything should go live.
