In April, after years of rumours and hype, the live-action Fallout TV series premiered on Amazon Prime and quickly became one of the service’s biggest hits as well as one of the most-watched shows of the year. This led to the games becoming more popular than ever, even crashing a mod site in the process. So it’s not surprising that Epic and Bethesda would work together on a big Fallout/Fortnite event.

At the moment, as previously mentioned, we don’t know much about what to expect with this crossover or when it will go live in Fortnite. It’s possible that this will be a tiny thing, just a few skins and nothing more. But I’d bet a few V-Bucks that this is a bigger event that will feature more than just a few cosmetic items, maybe even some quests. The teaser image posted by Epic seems to show at least one on-the-map location inspired by Fallout, so perhaps there’s more to this upcoming event than just cool-looking power armor.

Interestingly, earlier in May, Call of Duty Warzone dataminers discovered evidence of a Fallout crossover happening in that battle royale game. Is that still going to happen? Will they happen at the same time? For now, we just have to wait and see.
