Fortnite Crossover Wish List: GTA, Minecraft, and CoD?

Last Updated: November 4, 2025

Fortnite characters from various crossovers standing together on the island.

Fortnite is, without question, the undisputed king of the crossover. It has transformed its vibrant island into a digital crossroads where characters from Marvel, Star Wars, and Dragon Ball Z battle alongside pop stars like Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga. But for gamers, the most exciting collaborations are often the ones that unite the industry's biggest titles. Epic Games has already achieved the once-unthinkable, creating the "Gaming Legends" series to bring icons like God of War's Kratos and Halo's Master Chief to the Battle Bus.

Years ago, a speculative "wish list" of dream collaborations surfaced, featuring the absolute titans of the industry: Grand Theft Auto, Minecraft, and Call of Duty. While many other incredible gaming crossovers have since become a reality, these three remain the holy grails for many fans, representing the final frontiers for Fortnite's all-consuming pop culture metaverse. Today, we revisit that ultimate wish list to see what's changed, what's become reality, and what might still be on the horizon.

The Gaming Legends Have Arrived

What was once speculation is now a core part of the Fortnite experience. The Gaming Legends series has delivered a stunning array of video game icons, proving that almost no door is closed to Epic Games. Competitors have become collaborators in a way few thought possible.

PlayStation's Kratos arrived with his Leviathan Axe, and Microsoft's Master Chief followed, bringing the Gravity Hammer to the island. This set a powerful precedent, showing that even the faces of rival consoles could share the stage. Since then, the floodgates have opened. We've seen:

  • Lara Croft from Tomb Raider
  • Ryu & Chun-Li from Street Fighter
  • Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher
  • Isaac Clarke from Dead Space
  • Leon S. Kennedy & Claire Redfield from Resident Evil
  • Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid
  • Alan Wake, whose appearance masterfully coincided with his long-awaited sequel.
  • Cloud Strife and Sephiroth from the legendary Final Fantasy VII.

These crossovers are no longer just cosmetic curiosities; they are deeply integrated, often appearing as key players in a season's Battle Pass or as central figures in in-game events. This proven track record makes the original wish list feel more plausible than ever.

The Grand Theft Auto 6 Dream

A collaboration with Rockstar Games for a Grand Theft Auto crossover remains one of the most requested and potentially explosive events in gaming history. With the monumental hype surrounding the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, the timing for such a partnership has never been better.

Imagining GTA 6 protagonists Lucia and Jason dropping from the Battle Bus is a tantalizing prospect that would bridge two of the largest and most dedicated player bases in the world. While there is still no official confirmation, the sheer cultural force of a Fortnite x GTA event would be undeniable. It would be a marketing masterstroke for both Epic and Rockstar, creating a shared cultural moment that would dominate the conversation for months.

The Blocky Frontier: A Minecraft Crossover?

Just as monumental would be a crossover with Mojang's Minecraft, one of the best-selling and most influential video games of all time. The idea of Steve and Alex skins, pickaxes modeled after diamond tools, and a Creeper-themed back bling is an easy win.

Given Microsoft's ownership of both Minecraft and Halo (whose Master Chief is already in the game), the corporate relationship is clearly not an obstacle. The primary challenge remains a creative one: how to translate Minecraft's signature blocky aesthetic into Fortnite's distinct art style without losing the charm of the source material. However, with the introduction of LEGO Fortnite, Epic has already proven its ability to successfully integrate an entirely different, block-based visual style into its ecosystem, making a Minecraft crossover feel more creatively feasible than ever before.

Unlikely Alliances: Call of Duty and Indie Darlings

A Call of Duty collaboration would see two of the shooter genre's biggest rivals join forces. On the surface, it seems unlikely. But in an era where Kratos and Master Chief can fight side-by-side, the old rules no longer apply. Bringing a legendary operator like Captain Price or Ghost to the Fortnite island would be a massive draw. With Microsoft now owning Activision Blizzard, the corporate barriers for such a team-up are lower than they have ever been, though the direct competition in the shooter space still makes it a complex proposition.

On the other end of the gaming spectrum, the wish list included the highly anticipated indie title Hollow Knight: Silksong. While the game's release remains a mystery, Epic's interest in the indie scene is clear. A skin of the enigmatic Hornet, released alongside the game's eventual launch, would be a fantastic way to celebrate a passionate fanbase and give an indie darling incredible exposure on one of gaming's biggest stages.

Is Anything Truly Off the Table?

For Epic Games, Fortnite has evolved far beyond a battle royale. With the launch of LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival, it is a dynamic, multi-faceted social platform—a true metaverse in the making. These dream crossovers are a clear indication that, in Epic's view, no collaboration is too big or too ambitious.

By already securing legends from Sony, Microsoft, CD Projekt Red, and Square Enix, Epic has made a clear statement: Fortnite is the one place where every corner of gaming culture can converge. While fans wait to see if the final dream collaborations will ever materialize, it’s clear that the future of Fortnite holds limitless possibilities. The only question that remains is not who will come to the island, but who won't.
