James Bond Rumored to Join Fortnite Soon

Renowned Fortnite leaker Shiina has hinted that James Bond may soon make his way into the battle royale. Over the years, Fortnite has introduced numerous characters from popular franchises, and it seems that one of cinema's most iconic action heroes could be next in line.

Fortnite’s History of Crossover Skins

Before Fortnite’s battle royale mode skyrocketed in popularity during Chapter 1, the game originally featured a tower defense looter shooter gameplay loop. Since then, Fortnite has undergone hundreds of collaborations, bringing skins from well-known franchises like Captain America, John Wick, Rick Sanchez, and many more. These crossover events show no signs of slowing down, with Chapter 6 Season 1 featuring its own selection of collaborations. As Epic Games continues to integrate popular IPs into the game, fans have actively voiced their wishes for new character additions. Due to this ongoing demand, a recent leak suggests that James Bond 007 will be making an appearance in Fortnite in an upcoming season.

Leaked Information and Speculations

Twitter user ShiinaBR recently amplified a rumor that a James Bond skin is expected to arrive in Fortnite around the same time as a wrestling-themed season. However, ShiinaBR did not originate this rumor but credited Shpeshal_Nick for the information. Shpeshal_Nick has clarified that they are not a dataminer but instead received details from an anonymous source with a “unique angle” on acquiring information. With ShiinaBR further supporting this claim, there is increased speculation that James Bond may indeed be coming to Fortnite. Additionally, with a new James Bond film and IO Interactive’s Project 007 reportedly in development, the timing for such a crossover could align with promotional efforts for these releases.

Which James Bond Will Appear?

While a James Bond skin could certainly be introduced in Fortnite, the key question remains: which version of the character will be featured? Over the years, James Bond has been portrayed by actors such as Daniel Craig, Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, and others, each bringing their own unique take to the role. The Broccoli family, who owns the rights to the character, is known for being highly protective of the franchise, meaning that there could be significant legal negotiations behind the scenes before the skin is finalized.

Beyond the potential James Bond crossover, rumors also suggest that Chapter 6 Season 2 will have a wrestling theme, indicating that the Bond skin could be released alongside that season. Additionally, Shpeshal_Nick has claimed that DC Comics’ Cyborg and characters from The Boys are also set to join Fortnite in the near future.

James Bond in Fortnite – A Matter of Time?

Given James Bond’s enduring popularity across multiple generations, his inclusion in Fortnite would not come as a surprise to many fans. However, as of now, these rumors remain unconfirmed, and fans should take the information with a grain of salt. With Epic Games consistently adding new skins to Fortnite, it is always possible that the legendary secret agent could arrive sooner rather than later.
