- Quick Answer: Overwatch skins are rumored for a March or April 2026 release in Fortnite, likely coinciding with the start of Chapter 7 Season 2.
It's finally happening. Rumors and leaks from reliable sources mean it's all but confirmed: Overwatch is coming to Fortnite. Blizzard's FPS took the gaming world by storm over a decade ago when it was originally released in 2016. 10 years later, the game has a solid player base, but it's far from being in the cultural zeitgeist as it once was.
Still, it's an iconic franchise representative of modern gaming, and thus its inclusion in Fortnite isn't all that crazy. Especially considering even IPs like The Office are making it into the battle royale nowadays.
When Is Overwatch Coming To Fortnite?
According to leakers like Shiina, the Overwatch x Fortnite collaboration will be dropping at some point within the next three months.
Chapter 7 Season 1 is set to end on March 4. So a strong possibility is that Overwatch players will play a major part in Chapter 7 Season 2, with maybe some heroes making it into that season's battle pass.
Alternatively, we could even see a unique mini-event within the season to welcome Overwatch into Epic's battle royale. In the meantime, please keep this page bookmarked, as we'll update it with rumors and confirmed information as soon as it becomes available.
All that being said, here's what we know about the Fortnite x Overwatch collaboration.
