The gaming world is buzzing with excitement as one of the most awaited collaborations is finally becoming a reality. Fortnite X Mortal Kombat is set to make its grand entrance with the launch of Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2. This crossover has been rumored for a long time, but with the latest season’s trailer, the first glimpses have been officially revealed. And there’s a lot more to come!
A Collaboration That Transforms the Entire Game
Massive Fortnite collaborations always leave a lasting impact on the entire game, and this one is no different. Mortal Kombat won’t just be making a small appearance; it’s taking center stage. As the Secret Skin of the upcoming Battle Pass, this crossover promises an in-depth experience. Players can expect new skins, Mythic weapons, exclusive Battle Pass rewards, and plenty of additional content in the item shop.
Fortnite X Mortal Kombat Set to Dominate in Chapter 6 Season 2
The biggest highlight of Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2 is undoubtedly the Fortnite X Mortal Kombat collaboration. With the new season’s trailer offering a sneak peek into what’s coming, leaks and insider reports have started to reveal even more details. The fusion of these two iconic franchises is shaping up to be a game-changing event for Fortnite players.

One of the most thrilling additions coming with this crossover is the introduction of new Mythic items. These powerful in-game elements will change the way battles unfold. According to leaks and hints from the trailer, one Mythic ability will be based on Sub-Zero’s signature moves. Players will be able to wield ice-based powers, just like in Mortal Kombat, bringing a fresh dynamic to Fortnite’s combat system.
Another Mythic ability is said to focus on hand-to-hand combat, inspired by Mortal Kombat’s brutal fighting style. This marks an exciting shift away from the traditional gun-based gameplay of Fortnite, allowing players to engage in melee-based battles that feel straight out of a Mortal Kombat match.
New Skins Bring Mortal Kombat Fighters to Fortnite
Fortnite leaks have already given us a look at some of the skins arriving with this crossover. The first confirmed character is Sub-Zero, making his debut as the Secret Skin of the Battle Pass. Players will be able to unlock this iconic fighter mid-season, likely with additional cosmetic options and alternate styles to customize his look.
Beyond Sub-Zero, more characters from Mortal Kombat are expected to join the fight. While the exact lineup remains a mystery, leaks suggest that at least one more fighter will be introduced. With Mortal Kombat’s extensive roster of legendary characters, the possibilities are endless. Given the popularity of past Fortnite crossovers with fighting game franchises like Street Fighter, these new skins could quickly become fan favorites.

The idea of a Fortnite X Mortal Kombat crossover has been floating around for quite some time. Before this, Fortnite had opted to collaborate with the Street Fighter franchise instead. However, the shifting focus of Warner Bros., the company behind Mortal Kombat, has now paved the way for this long-anticipated partnership.
In recent years, Warner Bros. made bold decisions regarding its gaming properties, pulling its IPs from various platforms and focusing on its in-house projects. This resulted in financial struggles for games like MultiVersus and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. With their renewed approach, they’re now reinvesting in collaborations, which is why Mortal Kombat characters are making their way into Fortnite.
