Fortnite Teases Possible Collaboration with Optimus Prime for Upcoming Transformers Film

By Carlton Murphy Last updated May 30, 2023

In time for the next Transformers film, Fortnite may add Optimus Prime to its pool of playable characters. Official information about Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 has yet to appear as of this writing. But it hasn’t stopped a ton of leaks and rumors from spreading.

According to one of these leaks, the new season will begin in a tropical biome, potentially blended with a desert setting. Now that yet another leak has surfaced online, Fortnite Island may soon see the release of something significant.

There may be a Fortnite x Optimus Prime crossover coming soon

Ambushments, a Reddit member, posted a screenshot of an Optimus Prime-adorned loading screen over the weekend. Naturally, the Prime skin suggests that there will be a Transformers event soon. Also, this seems reasonable. Since Season 3 of Fortnite is set to launch on June 9, the cross-media collaboration will coincide with the premiere of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. In addition to sharing a screenshot of the loading screen with Prime support, Twitter user and leaker HYPEX also gathered several additional unconfirmed facts in the message below:

SEASON 3 LEAKS SO FAR ‼️

– Fortnite x Transformers Collab with an Optimus Prime skin.
– A Summer Meowscles skin, and a Mechanic skin.

Players can also anticipate Summer Meowscles and Mechanic skins based on these revelations. Next season, a racing mode, grind rails, and a new Mythic Drum Shotgun will join the fight. Fortnite users will have many new weapons to choose from, according to a more recent article from HYPEX. For instance, some claim that a launcher that “shoots every 2 seconds and deals 35 damage and 450 builds damage” will soon equip helicopters.

Additionally, the existence of a brand-new Lever Pistol was revealed by a loading screen leak. In addition, Season 3 could see the introduction of an Epic/Legendary Thermal Bolt Action Sniper with 116/121 damage and 290/303 headshot damage. As always, it’s advisable not to accept the statements above at face value, even though the Fortnite x Optimus Prime image is difficult to ignore. With Season 2 of Fortnite ending in early June, players will know for sure what Epic is cooking up soon enough.
