A Fortnite crossover is exactly what we all wanted, right? Well, it turns out the Fortnite community was more than ready to oblige, as one extremely talented and dedicated modder has managed to bring the Overwatch 2 Epic Games Store collab to life in the Battle Royale game, using nothing more than Fortnite item and character mods.
We’ve seen crossover Fortnite skins aplenty, and even Fortnite dances for all the Overwatch 2 heroes, but this takes things to a whole new level by actually modding each hero into the game. Genji and D.Va are among the Overwatch 2 heroes modded into Fortnite, and you can check them out in the screenshots below.
The result is a Fortnite world inhabited by Overwatch 2 heroes, with each hero retaining their unique abilities and playstyles from Blizzard’s multiplayer game in the epic battle royale game. D.Va’s mech is there, as is her self-destruct ability, and you can see Genji flicking his shurikens around and attacking with swift strikes.
It’s genuinely incredible to see this come to life, and the way the modded heroes have been so seamlessly integrated into the Fortnite universe is testament to the creativity of the gaming community. It’s a fresh and exciting twist on Fortnite gameplay, and I for one can’t wait to team up with friends and take on opponents using some of my favourite Overwatch 2 heroes.
This crossover is just the latest example of just how popular both Fortnite and Overwatch 2 are, and just how influential the latter’s esports scene is.
