Is Dr. Who Coming To Fortnite?

Over the numerous years since its initial release, Fortnite has witnessed a multitude, and we mean a substantial number (currently 414+), of collaborations that integrate various popular and well-known franchises into the chaotic realm of battle royale. Among these cross-promotions, one that has consistently captured the attention of many players is the potential crossover or collaboration with the iconic science-fiction character, Dr. Who.

Now, it seems that we finally have a response to this long-anticipated collaboration, and numerous fans will undoubtedly be keen to learn what this implies for the future of a partnership between these two iconic franchises. So, without further delay, let's delve into the particulars and ascertain whether or not Dr. Who will be making an appearance in Fortnite.

Is Doctor Who Coming To Fortnite? 

As of writing, there is a lack of official confirmation regarding a Fortnite x Doctor Who collaboration, and unfortunately, it seems that such a collaboration might not be in the works at all. Revealed by a post on the GamingLeaksAndRumors subreddit, Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies responded on Instagram to a query about a potential collaboration with, "There isn’t one! It’s a complete myth, I’m afraid x."

This statement contradicts numerous leaks and rumors circulating over the past months to years concerning a Doctor Who crossover and many fans remain skeptical. As one Reddit user mentioned in a thread, "I wouldn't put too much into his words because A) the people who leaked it are the ones who are very credible with Fortnite, and B) Davies is known for straight-up lying to create surprise."

Granted, this denial by the showrunner could be a strategic move to catch players off guard, allowing the crossover to fly under the radar until it's ready. On the other hand, it might genuinely indicate that no collaboration is in progress.

It's worth noting that a collaboration or crossover planned for this year would slightly miss the mark, considering last year was the show's 60th anniversary. It appears that the excitement surrounding the potential convergence of these two worlds was just that – hype. While it's disheartening for many players to consider that this collaboration might never materialize, for now, all we can do is await further news surrounding this ever-evolving speculation of a Doctor Who and Fortnite collaboration.
