Fortnite fans have something exciting on the horizon—a potential crossover featuring Baymax from the beloved movie, Big Hero 6, might soon become a reality in Chapter 6 Season 1. Recently, leaked artwork hinted at new collaborations, not just with Baymax but also with Godzilla. Epic Games is clearly working hard to broaden its partnerships, all while adjusting its battle pass pricing, which underscores their commitment to bringing vibrant, varied content to players.
A well-known insider in the Fortnite community recently caught Disney enthusiasts off guard by revealing this Baymax crossover. This gentle, helpful robot has been a fan-favorite since Big Hero 6 hit theaters back in 2014, forming a heartwarming duo with a young boy. Though it might seem like a curious pairing at first glance, Disney and Epic Games have been strengthening their collaboration, especially through these types of integrations in Fortnite.
The current season of Fortnite, known as Chapter 2 Remix, is nearing its end, with the upcoming chapter set to kick off in early December. This past month, the game has been buzzing with collaboration events, inviting players to enjoy appearances from stars like Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Spice, and a tribute to Juice WRLD. By logging into the game, players can even grab some free Juice WRLD-themed cosmetics. This follows a recent full-blown Marvel-themed season, along with crossovers from iconic horror franchises like Saw and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, as well as holiday favorites like The Nightmare Before Christmas.
In a tweet packed with intrigue, reliable leaker SamLeakss shared what could be key artwork for the next Fortnite season. The image is teeming with fresh faces, though collaborations with Baymax and Godzilla caught the spotlight. If legitimate, this artwork hints at both characters joining Fortnite’s battle pass soon, a move that coincides with Epic Games revising its battle pass prices and tweaking its Fortnite Crew subscription benefits for the very first time.
This potential tie-in with Big Hero 6 may only mark the beginning of a broader collaborative adventure within the Fortnite universe. Rumor has it that this might just be the tip of the iceberg, suggesting that more Big Hero 6 characters could find their way into the game’s item shop, as was the case with The Witcher’s Geralt, followed by Ciri and Yennefer in a previous season.
As speculation swirls, many fans are taking to social media to share their excitement for the future developments in Fortnite’s incoming chapter. Talk has also surfaced about a possible crossover with Demon Slayer, a nod to traditional Japanese themes purportedly lining up with the new season’s aesthetic, which might include Demon and Oni masks as in-game features. With the next chapter launching in early December, the anticipation among Fortnite enthusiasts is palpable, promising a thrilling season ahead.
