The Delay of Fall Guys in Fortnite
The highly anticipated arrival of Fall Guys in Fortnite has been postponed until the summer season. This delay comes as the quirky beans “need more time to cook” before making their grand entrance into the battle royale world.
Revised Release Window
The integration of Fall Guys into Fortnite was initially announced back in March, with a planned release set for May. However, Epic Games recently confirmed the delay, pushing the debut to the upcoming summer of 2024.
Official Statement
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), the official Fortnite Creative account explained that the addition of Fall Guys requires “a little more time to cook.” The revised release window now points towards a summer launch for the collaboration.
The specific impact on the collaboration with other Epic Games titles remains uncertain, particularly concerning the battle royale mode as indicated in the leaked 2024 roadmap.
Speculations and Rumors
The leaked roadmap hinted at Fall Guys being incorporated towards the end of Chapter Five, season two, leading into the subsequent season. Although these details are merely based on rumors, recent hints such as Billie Eilish’s debut in the game add credibility to the leaks.
Delaying the complete Fall Guys collaboration until the official game mode launch would align strategically, especially given the available slots for crossover events highlighted in the leaked roadmap.
Following rumored collaborations like Pirates of the Caribbean in Chapter Five, season three, the anticipation for future crossovers is heightened, with possibilities lingering until the Halloween event of Fortnitemares in October.
Looking Ahead
Postponing the introduction of Fall Guys until later in the summer following the Pirates of the Caribbean collaboration seems to fit seamlessly within the leaked roadmap’s timeline. This positioning places Fall Guys just before the commencement of Chapter Five, season four, which promises another exciting collaboration with the Fantastic Four.
While everything remains speculative at this point, fans will have to exercise patience to witness the final outcome of what Fortnite has in store.
