Recent leaks surrounding Fortnite have ignited excitement among fans, as rumors indicate that iconic villains from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) franchise are poised to make their entry into the game. This collaboration is expected to coincide with a fresh wave of TMNT-themed cosmetics, set to debut in both Fortnite and Rocket League during Season 18.
The details of this highly anticipated crossover have emerged from well-known leaker @FNBRintel, with corroborating mentions from other Twitter personalities like @SamLeakss, @Loolo_WRLD, and @ShiinaBR. Notably, @FNBRintel previously hinted at potential Star Wars-inspired content, further adding to the speculation surrounding the game’s evolving narrative.
Anticipated TMNT Villains in Fortnite
The leaked information suggests that a minimum of three notorious villains will be featured in the upcoming Fortnite x TMNT collaboration: Bebop, Rocksteady, and Krang. For those unfamiliar with the TMNT lore, Bebop and Rocksteady are well-established antagonists within the franchise. These mutant henchmen—Bebop as a warthog and Rocksteady as a rhinoceros—execute the orders of their formidable leader, Shredder, the head of the Foot Clan. In contrast, Krang is a formidable supervillain with a plethora of powerful abilities at his disposal.
Once integrated into the game, this collaboration would bring the total number of TMNT characters available for players to ten. Speculation also suggests the possibility of a Mini Battle Pass linked to this collaboration, although official confirmation is still pending. Currently, there is no defined timeline for the release, but expectations hint at a rollout towards the end of Chapter 6 Season 2 or potentially into Chapter 6 Season 3. However, it’s worth noting that the upcoming season is rumored to revolve around a Star Wars theme, which could complicate the integration of TMNT villains into the overarching narrative structure.
Despite the thematic challenges, the introduction of more TMNT characters, especially villains, would undoubtedly refresh the game’s character roster. Additional updates may surface in the coming days or during the significant update (v34.20) set for March 25, 2025, as part of Chapter 6 Season 2.
