And they say Fortnite is a kids game.

Fortnite just dropped a significant update in Chapter 6 Season 4, adding new weapons while also welcoming Gorillaz via Fortnite Festival Season 10. During the downtime, leakers reported that the raunchy animated comedic duo Beavis and Butthead are coming to the game during this update.

Although Call of Duty did it first, Fortnite has made it abundantly clear that any and every potential collaboration is on the table. That brings us to the latest pair of animated characters set to join the game.

Beavis and Butthead enter Fortnite and Call of Duty in the same year

Nearly two months have passed since Beavis and Butthead became unlockable operator skins in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The tandem arrived in Season 4 Reloaded, and they will soon make their Fortnite debut. According to the leaks, Beavis and Butthead will arrive during the current update cycle.

The next update is reportedly scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 9, meaning these skins could appear in the Item Shop anytime between now and then. While we don't know precisely what the collaboration will entail, leakers have provided an idea beyond just the two skins.

What can I expect with this collaboration?

Not long after the Beavis and Butthead collab leaked, several Fortnite dataminers reported what players can expect. Both characters will be available in the Item Shop as skins alongside Back Blings and Pickaxes. Beavis will have one Emote, while Butthead will have two Emotes and a Wrap.

It's safe to assume the iconic "Great Cornholio" will be part of the crossover in some sense, likely as an Emote. Another confirmed Emote features a TV screen that plays a Metallica concert, a band Fortnite collaborated with last year.

That covers everything we know so far about the Beavis and Butthead partnership. We expect more details in the coming days, so be sure to check back here!
