Fortnite’s Next Big Surprise: Deep Rock Galactic Collaboration Incoming

On August 27, 2025, Fortnite finally rolled out its long-anticipated One Punch Man crossover, bringing fan favorites Saitama, Genos, and Tatsumaki to the island. The timing couldn’t be better — the current season’s theme centers around players battling a massive bug invasion, making this powerhouse trio a perfect fit for the action.

But Epic Games isn’t stopping there. Just as the One Punch Man collaboration landed, new leaks suggest another crossover is already on the way — this time with the cult-hit co-op shooter Deep Rock Galactic.

A Surprising Choice for Fortnite

Unlike other high-profile partnerships, this one came as a bit of a surprise. Many Fortnite players had to ask what Deep Rock Galactic even is. For those unfamiliar, the game is a first-person co-op shooter that debuted on Steam in May 2020. It features teams of spacefaring dwarves exploring destructible cave systems while battling alien threats, offering a unique gameplay twist that has earned it a loyal fanbase.

Though it has been around for several years, this collaboration may be the first time many Fortnite players hear about Deep Rock Galactic. That’s part of the appeal for developers and brands: Fortnite crossovers serve as a massive stage, introducing games, characters, and even athletes to a global audience.

What To Expect From the Crossover

While leakers have confirmed the collaboration, specific details about which characters or cosmetics will appear remain unknown. The most logical inclusion, however, would be the iconic dwarves themselves. Their mining expertise and combat skills could make them a natural fit for helping players push back against Fortnite’s ongoing bug invasion storyline.

For now, fans will have to wait for Epic Games to reveal more. But with two major collaborations arriving within the same week, it’s clear Fortnite is keeping its momentum strong heading into the final stretch of the season.
