Epic Games tease Fortnite mashup with Borderlands 3

Epic Games have teased another collaboration in Fortnite Battle Royale with Borderlands 3 being the focus.

Epic Games shared an image on August 26 to announce their new Fortnite x Mayhem collaboration. On Twitter, the developer put out a simple caption of “When you see it…” alongside a mosaic of some of the game’s most popular skins.

The image drops a lot of references to the upcoming release of Borderlands 3 and its subtitle “BRING THE MAYHEM,” including a photo of Psycho in the bottom-left corner.

Fans are already speculating what will appear in the crossover. The consensus is that there’ll be a skin of Borderlands’ Psycho added to the shop, but nothing is set in stone.

Popular Fornite content creator Avery ‘Avxry’ Lopriore chucked in a quick joke, saying “So awesome that the Halo Grunt is coming to fortnite kappa.” 

While the Borderlands franchise might not ring a bell for some players, the title is well respected within the community. The last Borderlands game, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, was released in 2014, while Borderlands 2 was dropped in 2012.
