Epic Games Delays Fortnite X Fall Guys Crossover; Now Releasing in Summer 2024

Last month, Epic Games revealed that Fall Guys would finally be coming to the Unreal Editor with the Fortnite (UEFN) program. The rumors for this crossover have been going around for quite some time now, and with the launch of Fortnite Festival, Rocket Racing, and LEGO Fortnite, those rumors reached the next level. However, in an unexpected turn of events, the highly anticipated Fortnite x Fall Guys crossover has been delayed and pushed back to Summer 2024. Let’s take a look at what we know about this delay.

Fortnite x Fall Guys Delayed To Summer 2024

Fans of Fortnite and Fall Guys were anxiously waiting for these two popular games to unite and collaborate to deliver an incredible experience. However, the crossover has been officially delayed. The official news of a delay comes from the Fortnite Creators account on X. 

While Epic Games hasn’t revealed the reasons behind the delay, it’s widely speculated that developers want to ensure proper integration of Fall Guy’s complicated physics mechanics into Fortnite. This attention to detail clearly reflects the developer’s dedication to delivering an enjoyable experience for all people. The addition of Fall Guys will give Fortnite a much-needed facelift by placing gamers in a captivating game that they never imagined they could witness.

Although the crossover delay is surely disappointing, fans won’t have to wait that long for it to arrive. Originally, Fall Guys was scheduled for release in May without any specific date. However, the developers now aim for a Summer 2024 release. In the worst-case scenario, the update might drop on 22nd September, which is the last day of summer. However, it’s likely that players will be able to enjoy Fall Guys in Fortnite by August, assuming Epic Games doesn’t delay it again. 

What’s Coming For Fortnite in 2024?

The Fall Guys crossover isn’t the only thing to look forward to for Fortnite players in 2024. Recently, a lot of upcoming content for Fortnite was leaked. This leak included new Fall Guys content in the Battle Royale mode, which is possibly linked to UEFN but could be a completely different drop. That’s not all, it’s also rumored that Fortnite will soon have new events bringing Metallica, and Pirates of the Caribbean to the game. We’ll also see the return of exciting Fortnite OG and an entire season themed around Marvel.
