The Fortnite Persona collab is going to be huge, but I’m more excited about what comes next

It’s no secret that Fortnite collaborations have been a little hit and miss in the past. From the wildly unpopular AI brainrot skin, to the smash-hit Simpsons cosmetics, it’s hard to tell what direction Epic is going in with these crossovers – but recent news from the ground seems to suggest that Fortnite is aiming high. In case you missed it, Persona is officially coming to Fortnite next season, with a trailer of Joker from P5 doing the rounds. Not only that, but more Disney collaborations seem to be on the way, too.

In a recent video posted to the official The Walt Disney Company YouTube channel, Disney exec Sean Shoptaw talks about how Fortnite has become “one of the most important social entertainment platforms in the world”, stressing the importance of Disney expanding its involvement with the game to bring more characters and stories to players. He points out that, as younger generations in particular are more involved in Fortnite, it’s a great way to ensure that Disney IPs continue to be profitable and successful. This means we’re likely to see the continuation of the partnership between the two, and hopefully on an accelerated timeline.

We’ve had nearly every Marvel character under the sun joining the universe, and with the recent re-appearance of Spider-Man to celebrate Brand New Day’s release, the game continues to be a superhero fest. That’s why I want to see more characters from old and beloved movies join the Fortnite Ratatouille and Fortnite Toy Story collabs, including other Disney Pixar characters. Finding Nemo would be a lot of fun, I would love to see Wall-E become a sidekick, and of course, it’d be great if that long-rumored collab with Monsters Inc. materialized. Plus, the Disney Princesses would all kick ass. Naturally.

So, while the Persona collab is on the way, it’s less exciting to me than the prospect of a Disney multiverse of madness. We also currently know very little about the upcoming collab, other than that P5’s Joker will be involved. We’re hoping to see some Morgana action – either as a backbling or sidekick – and it would be nice to have our favorite catgirl Persona 5’s Ann in for some battles. After all, the squad is no stranger to fights to the death.

Could we see Joker and Ann going up against Rapunzel and Moana soon? All we can do is wait for the latest. In the meantime, let us know what Disney characters you’d like to see come to Fortnite over on the Pocket Tactics Discord server.
