The Binding of Isaac universe may soon intersect with the realm of Fortnite, as Edmund McMillen, the game's creator, sheds light on ongoing discussions with Epic Games. The potential collaboration between the two games has its origins in a heartwarmingly innocent exchange.
McMillen's involvement began in December when he responded to a fan's tweet inquiring about a possible crossover between Fortnite and The Binding of Isaac. His enthusiastic reply, stating, 'Tell me who to talk to and I'll make it happen,' garnered significant attention, prompting Epic Games to reach out to him to explore the idea further, a fact McMillen confirmed in January. However, updates on this speculated collaboration have been scarce until now.
In a recent livestream, McMillen shared that his conversations with Epic Games were promising, indicating the gaming giant's interest in incorporating The Binding of Isaac into Fortnite. Despite this positive development, the uncertainty of the collaboration's timeline looms large due to Epic's extensive lineup of plans for the game. While specific details remain confidential under non-disclosure agreements, fans can expect a slew of additions and crossovers in the pipeline for the immensely popular battle royale. If a merger between The Binding of Isaac and Fortnite materializes, it is unlikely to happen in the immediate future.
Speculations Abound: The Binding of Isaac's Potential Entry into Fortnite
Recent leaks hint at Fortnite's next venture, rumored to kick off in the coming month. The anticipated Avatar: The Last Airbender event is slated to introduce a mini-battle pass offering an Aang skin, Appa glider, and more. Additionally, starting April 2, players with the standard battle pass can undertake quests to unlock a Korra skin, another iconic character from the series. With Fortnite's enduring popularity, numerous franchises and personalities are eager to grace the game, including some unexpected contenders.
Notably, Dr. Phil expressed his eagerness to join the Fortnite universe in a viral TikTok video, amassing over 7.3 million views. Given McMillen's successful engagement with Epic Games following a tweet, it's conceivable that Dr. Phil has captured the attention of the Fortnite developers. Should this collaboration come to fruition, it would align with Fortnite's practice of featuring skins of prominent individuals, such as LeBron James, Ariana Grande, Neymar Jr., Eminem, and more.
Moreover, a leak from March hinted at the addition of God of War's Kratos and Atreus in the current Fortnite season. Fans may recall the Kratos skin introduced in 2020, suggesting a revamped design for the upcoming inclusion.
