Rumor: A Fortnite/Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Crossover May Be Happening

4
We already know that with its high level of popularity, Fortnite has become an ideal crossover partner -- just ask Marvel about when it added Thanos from Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War to the game. But what if that’s just the beginning and we could see some kind of huge team-up with Epic Games and another franchise?

That’s exactly what Dexerto seems to be suggesting. Based upon an image from last week’s shop update, it appears that some kind of crossover with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 might be in the cards. That’s not completely confirmed just yet, but the proof is in the picture itself.

Last week we reported on said shop update for the game that gave you the ability to suit up your character with a Chromium Outfit, giving your character an android-style appearance. This was great in itself but Dexerto took a closer look at one of the dog tags on this outfit and noticed something interesting.

As you can see on the dogtag, there appears to be an image in orange and black with four marks on it, resembling the logo that’s being used for Black Ops 4. You can see the two images stacked up below.




Now this could just be Epic Games having fun with customization and poking fun at Activision's decision to go with "IIII" instead of "IV" for the Black Ops logo. But what if this could lead to something more -- like, say, Epic Games actually teaming up for the rumored Battle Royale component for Black Ops 4?

Having an experienced team like Epic take part in this portion of the game would be a neat move since the developer has pretty much nailed down the formula to perfection in Fortnite.

Activision hasn’t said a word, nor has Epic. So this could just be circumstantial at best or maybe a design choice by one of the programmers. We still can’t help but ask though, “What if?” After all, the big Black Ops 4 reveal takes place this Thursday and it’s during this time that we’ll likely get a better look at what Battle Royale is all about -- and more importantly, who’s behind it.

Fortnite is available now for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 arrives on those platforms on October 12.

Miss Saw a cop car once, are they teaming up with GTA now.


Lmao so true, such a small thing to take note of.


i mean the dog tag is pretty good indication that they'll work together. You don't put the same number and color scheme as another game by chance while having the army black ops theme with obvious modern robot tech.


Love how people like to try and dismiss stuff. When CoD went as far as changing licence plates in games as a reveal, lol.

Game DEVs LOVE Easter Eggs. They love it when we find it, to see how we react. It's a big game to them. And it hypes both games for the fans that enjoy both.

Does that mean it is an Easter Egg? No, of course not. But the chances are high. Same colors. A dog tag, which CoD is known for using in a lot of marketing, and same style. Maybe a Fortnite dev is just trolling. We've already heard rumour that CoD will not have Single Player this time around, but may very well slip in a BR of their own.

We'll just have to wait and find out.

Wrong move Epic. Please don't let this happen.

Yes time to bring in more cancerous CoD players to Fortnite or what's left of them.

Would be beneficial for the BO4 release and hopefully it's something they do go through with.
