Fortnite is reportedly gearing up to introduce a new update, including a collaboration with one of the most iconic TV franchises ever, Beyblade.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), a prominent leaker, SamLeakss, claimed that Beyblade X could soon be partnering with Fortnite. However, the leaker hasn't shared any details about potential skins, emotes, gliders, or pickaxes, and there's no confirmed date yet.

The leak has generated a lot of excitement among fans of the Beyblade franchise, who have long hoped to see Battle Royale team up with the series.

What is Beyblade?

The Beyblade franchise — created by Takao Aoki — is one of the most famous anime shows in the world. It initially began as a manga before expanding into anime, toys, and video games.

Over the years, it has evolved through multiple generations, including the original series, Metal Fusion, and Burst, each one bringing fans new characters, designs, and mechanics. 

Beyblade X, the latest generation, debuted in 2023 and focuses on the Xtreme Dash system, which allows Beyblades to interact with stadium rails for high-speed clashes. 

With the new Fornite update, there's a chance players could see a limited-time mode where they could battle it out against each other with just Beyblades.

It is important to note that players are impatiently waiting to see how Epic Games will integrate such an iconic TV show into the Battle Royale experience. Recent leaks have also hinted that a new Fortnite mode might be arriving soon. With multiple rumoured collaborations and updates on the horizon, the future looks quite promising for the game. 

However, Epic Games still hasn't confirmed its plans for any crossovers, and there's a chance that the developer company could reveal official details in the near future.
