Overwatch x Fortnite: Are the worlds finally colliding?

Will there be an Overwatch 2 x Fortnite collaboration soon? According to Fortnite leakers HYPEX, SpushFNBR, and Wensoing, it's possible. However, some folks are skeptical about it. Here is what's going on.

On Dec. 11, HYPEX made a post on X that credited SpushFNBR and Wensoing. The post went into a possible collaboration between Fortnite and Overwatch 2. It also showed an image of Kiriko plus the LEGO version of Hanzo's head beside a wig from LEGO Fortnite.

"Hanzo's official hairpiece was added today," HYPEX wrote, adding that LEGO only uses this piece for Hanzo's hair. "It was used on an early version of a Fortnite LEGO skin, then removed, then re-added today again."

A reply from VolksDK noted that the hair already exists in LEGO Fortnite as part of NBA 75 Shot-Caller's outfit. OWCavalry chimed in as well, noting that it's hard to believe that Blizzard Entertainment would choose Hanzo of all heroes for a Fortnite collaboration.

"Find it hard to believe Blizzard would pick Hanzo for this, but we would LOVE to see this collab happen," OWCavalry wrote.

The skepticism likely comes from Hanzo being less popular compared to heroes like D.Va, Widowmaker, Genji, and Mercy in Overwatch 2.

This isn't the first time Overwatch 2 has been mentioned in connection with Fortnite. Back in October 2025, HYPEX reported that a recent in-game survey included the Overwatch franchise alongside ones like Silksong, Genshin Impact, Minecraft, Mario Kart, Roblox, and even Pokémon Go. The survey also listed games like Marvel Rivals, Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, The Sims, and Animal Crossing, according to the user.

OWCavalry posted about the potential collaboration back then as well. The post was complete with fanart by T3MTOR featuring Genji and Tracer in Fortnite.

In terms of Overwatch 2 surveys, one from September 2025 reportedly mentioned a Monster High-inspired collaboration. And even earlier than that, a survey from July 2025 reportedly mentioned franchises such as Jujutsu Kaisen, Devil May Cry, Kingdom Hearts, and League of Legends. None of these past Overwatch 2 surveys included Fortnite, but it's still fun to speculate on both games' next collaboration.

In terms of real and confirmed Overwatch 2 collaborations, they include One-Punch Man, LE SSERAFIM, Diablo 4, Cowboy Bebop, Porsche, Transformers, World of Warcraft, My Hero Academia, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Gundam Wing, Street Fighter 6, G.I. Joe, Nerf, and Persona 5.
