Fortnite Announces Adventure Time Collaboration Launching April 11

EPIC, North Carolina — Fortnite has officially confirmed a highly anticipated collaboration with the beloved animated series Adventure Time, set to launch on April 11, 2025. This partnership marks the first time Epic Games has collaborated with a Cartoon Network property, raising expectations for future crossovers with more Warner Bros. Discovery intellectual properties.

The news comes after weeks of speculation and leaks from dataminers who uncovered files hinting at the crossover within the game’s code. The collaboration will introduce four iconic skins based on the show’s characters: Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, and Marceline. Each character will feature at least three unique cosmetic items, including back blings, Fortnite Festival instruments, emotes, and possibly even vehicle designs inspired by them.

“Jake The Dog skin? It’s happening,” an excited player tweeted, reflecting the enthusiasm surrounding the upcoming content. All cosmetic items will be available for purchase through the Fortnite Item Shop starting on April 11, although the duration for which they will be featured remains unclear.

“Players can expect the skins to be available for a couple of weeks, but there’s a chance they could stay longer as a bundled offering,” noted a gaming analyst familiar with Epic’s marketing strategies.

However, fans should temper their expectations regarding exclusive quests linked to the collaboration. Currently, no details have leaked about potential quests aimed at boosting XP or earning additional rewards, but some remain hopeful that they could emerge as the launch date approaches.

In addition to the Adventure Time update, Fortnite has introduced a slew of other content recently. Reports hint at further collaborations, including a possible expansion into the Star Wars universe, which could coincide with significant dates for fans, such as May 4, known as Star Wars Day.

Fortnite leaker HYPEX revealed via Twitter that files for an Adventure Time bundle had been integrated into the game earlier this month, providing additional credibility to the rumors. A separate tweet from leaker ShiinaBR corroborated this by indicating recently added Adventure Time-themed pickaxes were discovered in the latest update.

The diverse features of the current season, along with the upcoming Adventure Time collaboration, have buoyed the community’s excitement. “This partnership mainly captures the essence of Adventure Time, which resonates well with gamers, young and old alike,” commented one player on a popular gaming forum.

This anticipated crossover reflects Epic Games’ ongoing strategy to expand the Fortnite universe through collaborations that engage fans continuously. Existing crossovers with franchises like Dragon Ball Super and Naruto have set a precedent that fans hope will extend to more beloved series like Adventure Time.

<p“As a longstanding anime fan, I’m excited to see how Fortnite evolves its roster, and Adventure Time characters make a great addition,” said another gamer. The collaboration is expected to strategically enhance Warner Bros.' visibility within the popular battle royale.

As the Fortnite community gears up for this major crossover, all eyes are on Epic Games to see how the incorporation of Adventure Time influences the game’s dynamic and enriches the player experience.
