SUMMARY
- Fortnite is known for its many collaborations with franchises.
- The battle royale's latest leaked collaboration seems to be with Doctor Who.
The years 2017 and 2018 saw a significant increase in Fortnite‘s popularity. Epic Games came up with the idea to work with the well-known Marvel Universe during the fourth season of the game, in an attempt to publicize the arrival of Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War.
This brought a large number of new participants to the Battle Royale who were excited to use the Infinity Gauntlet and take against Thanos. There have been other high-profile collaborations since this initial crossover in Fortnite, and many well-known pop culture figures have made debuts in the metaverse.
One of the most anticipated Doctor Who and Fortnite collaborations has also been in the works for a while. Over the past few months, many leakers and data miners have shared information about it. It was previously rumored that Doctor Who would appear during the Fortnite OG season, but that never happened. However, leakers claim that the partnership might occur sooner than anticipated.
Fortnite’s Doctor Who collaboration might come soon
The Rocket lays the stage for Doctor Who’s arrival, with Epic Games hinting that Kado Thorne’s Time Machine is “glitching”.
Fans are familiar with this mysterious time-traveling character. The Time and Relative Dimension in Space, or TARDIS, has been used by all of the “Doctors” that have been featured over the years. They can travel through time using this imagined combination of a spacecraft and a time machine.
Several seasoned leakers and data miners, including HYPEX and iFireMonkey, revealed details on the Doctor Who crossover in April 2023. They mentioned that in-game items and weapons would be included in addition to cosmetics.
With the length of time that Epic Games has been producing these mashups, such a claim is not entirely implausible. Major anime collaborations resulted in the addition of new weapons and goods to the game.
Thus, in the upcoming Fortnite season, Doctor Who may very likely show up packing a variety of devices for gamers to utilize. However, according to the most recent information, the Doctor Who collaboration has been rescheduled for a very special event in December 2023 or January 2024.
The Fortnite x Doctor Who collaboration has been rebooted to be based on 14 series.

Astraliguss who originally revealed the details of the Doctor Who collaboration has revealed again that the collaboration and Mini Event will take place in December and January. They claim that the impending LEGO partnership in November is the reason for the event’s postponement.
He has also suggested that players will only see the skin of the 15th Doctor rather than the 14th. He also added that Disney is in charge of the collaboration as a marketing campaign and will focus on the new series next year.
