Overwatch 2 and Fortnite fans speculate that a crossover between the two popular games could be in the works. This speculation follows the addition of a new spray to Fortnite that appears to be heavily inspired by an existing spray in Overwatch 2.
Fortnite is known for its collaborations with various properties and has included content from Batman, Star Wars, and many others. Meanwhile, Blizzard has been trying to get in on the crossover action with its recent One Punch Man collaboration in Overwatch 2.

The similarity between the two sprays has led to speculation among fans that a crossover between the two games could be in the works. Some players have even gone so far as to say that the collaboration “needs to happen.” However, only some are convinced that the similarity between the sprays is a sign of an upcoming crossover. Some players have dismissed it as a lazy copy.
At this point, nothing has been confirmed about a potential crossover between Overwatch 2 and Fortnite. Something could be in the works, but until an official announcement is made, fans will have to wait and see.
Regardless of whether a crossover is on the horizon, the fact that fans are speculating about it highlights the strong influence that both Overwatch and Fortnite have on the gaming community. Both games have passionate fan bases, and seeing them come together is certainly exciting.
As the gaming industry continues to evolve, collaborations between popular franchises are becoming more and more common. Whether or not Overwatch 2 and Fortnite end up crossing over, it’s clear that fans can expect to see more crossovers in the future.
