Recent leaks indicate the impending collaboration between Fortnite and Sunset Overdrive, a game originally launched in 2014 for Xbox One. Set in a post-apocalyptic open-world setting called Sunset City, players engage in high-octane gameplay featuring zipping, grinding, and wall-running with an array of unconventional weaponry. Given the current theme of Chapter 6 Season 2, titled Lawless, this collaboration appears to be a seamless addition to the Fortnite universe.
The details pertaining to this exciting collaboration were disclosed by a group of leakers, including @SamLeakss, @Loolo_WRLD, and @BeastFNCreative. In addition to the Fortnite x Sunset Overdrive collaboration, this trio also hinted at an upcoming collaboration involving Fortnite and Ghostbusters.
Potential Features of the Fortnite x Sunset Overdrive Collaboration
One notable aspect from the leaks involves the possibility of the ‘Overcharged’ Boost from Rocket League making its debut in Fortnite. This boost is considered a rare item in Rocket League and may not return for a while, making its introduction into Fortnite particularly exciting.
If you’re a fan of Rocket Racing modes in Fortnite, the addition of the ‘Overcharged’ Boost could enhance your gameplay experience during the collaboration. Details on how to obtain this cosmetic remain scarce, leaving players eagerly awaiting further announcements.
Boosts are also applicable in various gameplay modes such as Battle Royale and Zero Build. However, aside from the ‘Overcharged’ Boost, expectations for additional cosmetics related to the Fortnite x Sunset Overdrive collaboration should be tempered. According to @SamLeakss:
“I wouldn’t expect any additional cosmetics as this game has been dead for over 10 years 😭”
While it is conceivable that we might witness customizable characters from Sunset Overdrive, maintaining realistic expectations is prudent. With numerous existing customizable options available in Fortnite, such as Glitch (which can be acquired through Candywing’s Glitch Locker Bundle), the need for more options may be limited.
As it stands, this is all the information we have concerning the Fortnite x Sunset Overdrive collaboration. Additional details may emerge following the second significant update (v34.20) for Chapter 6 Season 2, which is scheduled for March 25, 2025. Players should stay tuned for more exciting revelations!
