A lot of rumors are circling online that Fortnite is planning a collaboration with Dumb Ways to Die, the rail safety campaign from Australia.

Dumb Ways to Die, the popular rail safety PSA, is rumored to be coming to Fortnite via a few leakers on Twitter. While this may seem like a random collaboration to many, others may not be surprised. Here is everything we know about the Dumb Ways to Die x Fortnite collaboration.

Dumb Ways to Die is coming to Fortnite

If you have not been living under a rock for the last 13 years (apparently, I have been), then you have probably heard of Dumb Ways to Die. What started out as a rail safety PSA has now turned into a massive brand, with hit songs, merch, mobile games and more.

And now, the tiny, round and colorful figures are coming to Fortnite (possibly).

Popular leaker, Hypex, discovered that Fortnite had included a bundle in its files titled "Dumb Ways to Die." It was added back in September, meaning Fortnite would be gearing up to release it in the next month or two (well, per past trends, at least).

The bundle description also said, "So many dumb ways to die..."

So, does this mean a Dumb Ways to Die collaboration is coming to Fortnite? It would certainly seem so. The Battle Royale has had far more bizarre collaborations in the past, making this one not incredibly far-fetched.

In fact, some leakers are posting that there are confirmed items for the collaboration, including an Emote and Back Bling.

What is Dumb Ways to Die?

Dumb Ways to Die started as a rail safety campaign back in 2012 in Melbourne, Australia. The hopes of the campaign were to prevent people from hurting themselves (or dying) when on a train or around train tracks.

However, the PSA took off faster than anyone expected, getting millions of hits around the world. The cute and fun characters (based on beans) stole people's hearts, and then when a song was released, it ended up topping the charts in various countries.

Since then, the brand has released various forms of merchandise and even has multiple mobile video games.

And now, the characters will more than likely be in Fortnite.
