Fortnite fans hungry for a Disney crossover beyond Marvel heroes might be in for a treat, as rumors of a Kingdom Hearts collaboration resurface.
A Collaboration in the Works?
Back in May, whispers of a Kingdom Hearts crossover with various franchises began circulating. The biggest name on the list? Fortnite. This potential collaboration made perfect sense, considering Square Enix’s (Kingdom Hearts developer) supposed plan to expand the series’ reach beyond its own world.
Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR recently shared information from SEGA leaker “Midori,” who doubled down on the Kingdom Hearts x Fortnite rumor. Midori, claiming to have received the news from a reliable source who leaked the Kingdom Hearts PC ports, initially sparked the speculation in May.
However, a shroud of doubt hangs over the collaboration. Midori, previously known as MysticDistance, has faced recent controversy, leading to their Twitter account’s deletion. With this development, the rumored collaboration should be treated with caution – more of a rumor than a confirmed leak.
The Dream Collaboration
Should the crossover materialize, it would be a dream come true for many. Imagine the possibilities: a plethora of Sora skins for players to choose from, coupled with the iconic Keyblades gracing the Fortnite Item Shop. This potential collaboration aligns perfectly with the existing partnership between Epic Games (Fortnite developer) and Disney, with Kingdom Hearts being one of Disney’s biggest video game collaborations alongside Square Enix.
While the rumors ignite excitement, it’s important to manage expectations. No official confirmation exists, and with the cloud surrounding the initial leak, patience is key. Only time will tell if Sora and his Keyblade will find a new home on the Fortnite Island.
