It looks like Fortnite is gearing up to expand its collection of crossovers even further, and this time, Metal Gear seems to be the focus. According to rumors, the acclaimed series might be making another appearance in Fortnite, perhaps to coincide with the release of the much-anticipated Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.
Fortnite has built a reputation for integrating favorite characters from various formats—movies, comic books, and especially video games—through character skins and themed events. The game has already seen icons like Lara Croft from Tomb Raider, Kratos from God of War, and the Doom Slayer from Doom venture onto its island.
The Metal Gear series, crafted by Hideo Kojima, first left its mark on Fortnite during Chapter 5, Season 1, which launched in January 2024. The introduction was notably marked by the “Sneaking Set,” which delighted players with avatars of Solid Snake and Raiden, plus an array of themed Pickaxes, Back Blings, Gliders, and Emoticons inspired by the legendary Metal Gear Solid series. The collaboration ignited excitement among fans, who are eagerly anticipating further tie-ins between Fortnite and Konami, stoked by whispers of more Metal Gear content on the horizon.
Recently, noted Fortnite leaker Shiina announced, via Reddit user KvasirTheOld on r/GamingLeaksandRumours, that another Metal Gear collaboration is underway. While specifics of this upcoming crossover remain under wraps, players are speculating that it might feature skins of characters like Naked Snake/Big Boss, Eva, or The Boss to align with the storyline of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Others are hopeful to see Raiden’s cyborg avatar from Metal Gear Rising or Quiet from Metal Gear Solid 5.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater revisits the tale of Naked Snake, also known as Big Boss, in a high-stakes mission within a perilous jungle, aiming to dismantle a Soviet superweapon. After a spell of rumors, the release date has been pegged for August 28, 2025. This launch presents a prime opportunity for Konami to collaborate with Fortnite again, though it should be noted that these are still rumors at this point.
Meanwhile, the grapevine is abuzz with talks of Fortnite welcoming Dom Toretto and Han Lue from the Fast and Furious saga, who might be making a high-speed arrival in the upcoming season. Furthermore, there’s chatter about a new Iron Man skin with several color variants, and characters from the beloved Avatar films might also make an entrance.
For those who might be unfamiliar, Fortnite lets you dive into an action-packed world where you can create, engage in epic battles, hang out with friends, or even experience live events. Whether it’s the Battle Royale or the no-build Zero Build mode, players can choose how they wish to quest for that coveted Victory Royale. On top of that, the game also offers a plethora of creator-made experiences ranging from adventure to survival genres.
