According to a new rumor, popular battle royale game Fortnite could be crossing over with EA's Dead Space franchise. Fortnite has become well-known for its crossover events, with Epic's ever-changing BR adding everyone from God of War's Kratos to anime heroes like Naruto Uzumaki. Fortnite crossovers will certainly continue throughout 2023, and while the Dead Space crossover has yet to get an official announcement, fans do know of at least one crossover they can expect next month.

Fortnite recently released its Chapter 4 map, bringing sweeping changes to the battle royale and significantly improving the graphics. Along with introducing Chapter 4, Fortnite also confirmed that it will soon be adding a skin based on Deku from My Hero Academia. An official release date for the Deku skin in Fortnite has not been announced at the time of this writing, but it's generally believed that it will be added at some point in January if it doesn't come this month.

In the meantime, January is also when fans should be able to expect the Dead Space crossover content to hit the game, if the recent rumors are true. Insider Gaming has reported that Fortnite is crossing over with Dead Space on January 23. Insider Gaming is unsure how extensive this crossover will be, but they believe that it will likely consist of a skin that players will be able to purchase from the shop.

Assuming the leaked information is correct, this would mean that the Fortnite/Dead Space crossover is happening mere days before the Dead Space remake is out. The Dead Space remake from EA is looking to revive the classic sci-fi survival-horror title for modern platforms, upping the graphics and making other small changes while otherwise remaining true to the source material. A collaboration with Fortnite would be a great way to promote the Dead Space remake, and it will be interesting to see if it pays off.

As for what the Dead Space cosmetic in Fortnite could be, that's anyone's guess, but the obvious answer would be an Isaac Clarke skin. The Dead Space protagonist has an iconic and easily recognizable look, so one would think he would be a great choice for a Fortnite skin. Then again, it's possible that the Dead Space crossover will be more substantial. Some Fortnite crossovers have added new POIs to the map and things, but it doesn't seem like that's in the cards for the Dead Space collaboration.

While fans wait to see if there's any truth behind these rumors, they can look forward to other crossover content for Chapter 4 that's already been confirmed, like the aforementioned Deku skin and the Geralt of Rivia skin.

Fortnite is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
