Highlights

  • Fortnite is gearing up to introduce Fall Guys minigames, allowing players to engage in thrilling obstacle races within regular matches.
  • Players who conquer the minigames will be rewarded with bonus XP and valuable items, similar to exclusive challenges from previous game seasons.
  • Leaked details from the Fortnite roadmap indicate a potential Fall Guys event scheduled for late May or early June, followed by collaborations with Metallica and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Exclusive reports from Fortnite insiders suggest that a new feature inspired by Fall Guys is on the horizon for Epic's popular battle royale game, as part of an anticipated crossover event set to delight gamers.

In late 2023, data miners exploring Fortnite's files stumbled upon references to Fall Guys characters known as 'Beans' and indications of upcoming minigames. This discovery coincided with findings of innovative game modes outside the traditional battle royale format, such as LEGO Fortnite and Rocket Racing. While players initially expected the Fall Guys mode to follow suit, it appears to offer a unique twist.

According to prominent Fortnite data miners Hypex, Loolo_Wrld, and Wensoing, Fall Guys minigames will be seamlessly integrated into standard battle royale matches. Players will be able to engage with these obstacle courses during gameplay, transforming into a Fall Guys Bean and competing against other participants. Victors of these challenges are said to earn bonus XP and coveted loot. The concept is likened to Chapter 2 Season 7's Mothership feature, where players could partake in exclusive minigames within the game world. While specifics such as the number of available courses, player capacity, and rewards remain undisclosed, further details are expected to emerge closer to the Fall Guys crossover event, pending the accuracy of these leaks.

Anticipated Arrival of Fall Guys Minigames in Fortnite

A purported Fortnite 2024 roadmap leak hints at the introduction of Fall Guys minigames towards the end of May or early June, with subsequent collaborations featuring Metallica and Pirates of the Caribbean later in the summer. However, the roadmap's authenticity is yet to be verified.

Additional leaks suggest that Fortnite's vehicles could incorporate a hijacking mechanic in Chapter 5 Season 3, aligning with an apocalyptic vibe reminiscent of Mad Max as outlined in leaked roadmap details. Although the leaks hint at hijacking elements akin to Grand Theft Auto rather than elaborate car-to-car jumps as seen in the iconic movie series.

Another intriguing leak proposes a potential addition to Fortnite's Item Shop in the form of a 'Billboard' feature. Reports indicate that Epic Games conducted internal tests on this feature to promote an upcoming Leia Organa skin debuting on May 3 during Fortnite's Star Wars event, possibly marking the debut of Billboards in the game's universe.
