Donald Mustard; Worldwide Creative Director at Epic Games, hinted at a possible G.I. Joe – Fortnite collaboration during a Zoom call with the fans of the game.
Mr. Mustard has stated that certain objects in the background of his Zoom call will act as a tease on things to come.
“[The Zoom call] was SO fun and SO inspiring! Super cool to hang out with a bunch of awesome people who all LOVE the art of games! Trying to count how many clues to future stuff I’ve hidden into the background of my ‘wfh’ space…”
As noted by journalist Geoff Keighley, who conducted the interview, a boxed Classified Series Snake Eyes was on a desk by Donald Mustard’s couch.
Fortnite characters 8-Ball and Scratch are heavily influenced by Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow respectively. It is likely that new skins may be available for the characters.
It is also worth noting that collaborations are not new to this famous sandbox-styled, battle royale video game. An ongoing collaboration with Marvel has introduced a massive roster of characters from the comic book giant.
News Post: Possible G.I. Joe And Fortnite Collaboration In Development?
Every time I think I’m done playing this game they get a new colab I can’t miss
I'm down for a SE costume. I own the game and the Cap costume, but I'll likely never really play it.
So does this mean SE & CC can get into a breakdance fight?
Didn't this already happen with the W1 Classified line?
I just bought Operation Blackout. What am I supposed to get from this news?
Hell having a colabro with Fortnite might be a better gi joe game than Blackout is.
My daughter yelled "No! Not dad's stuff with mine!"
Excellent! I have been collecting my V-Bucks for just such an occasion. Drives my son mad because I won't spend them... I keep telling him, "I'm waiting for something I really want" Seriously, though. It's an ISLAND. Just throw a Freighter in the middle, add a Terror Drome or two, bring back Bots as Cobra Troopers - and give us a GIJoe themed season. I'd buy the battle pass.
While a collaboration would be great for giving GI Joe more visibility to another generation, don't expect this to mean that there would be more toys, more merchandise etc. Fortnite figures havent exactly been high sellers.
