When Is Doctor Who Coming To Fortnite?

Fortnite, the iconic Battle Royale known for it's high volume of pop culture collaborations and crossovers. Just this year alone we've seen Epic Games team up with Spider-Man, Futurama, and Attack on Titan to name just a few. But one collaboration has seemingly been on radar for plenty of Fortnite leakers and data miners — Doctor Who.

The long-running British sci-fi show is getting ready to welcome its Fifteenth Doctor, played by Ncuti Gatwa, and will see the rebooted show enter Season 14. The season is set to air with a Christmas special in December 2023, which will then be followed by an eight-episode season in 2024. And, depsite having been rumored for some time, it seems a Fortnite x Doctor Who collaboration could finally be on the way roughly around the same time. 

Fortnite x Doctor Who: Everything We Know So Far

An update on the potential Fortnite x Doctor Who collaboration was posted via leaker @BarbieharpFN. According to the leaker, the collaboration is set to arrive in December/January, lining up roughly with the broadcast window for the Christmas special in December. 

Previously it was thought that a special 60th Anniversary style for the Fifteenth Doctor would be part of the collaboration, however the leaker has claimed that this will no longer be happening. They also claimed that the collaboration was delayed in favor of a LEGO collaboration, set to arrive sometime in November. 

Lastly, the leaks suggest that the collaboration will feature a mini Battle Pass, supposedly similar to those Epic Games has rolled out in the past, such as for Star Wars. This mini Battle Pass will be an Event Pass, and will include a number of rewards. 

Fortnite x Doctor Who Collaboration: Speculated Skins, Items, Cosmetics

At the time of writing, it's unclear what sort of cosmetics players can expect from the Fortnite x Doctor Who collaboration. Though, given the supposed timing of the event, it's likely there will be some involvement of the Fifteenth Doctor. Given the popularity of the Tenth and Fourteenth Doctor, played by David Tennant, it wouldn't be a stretch for him to be included in the collaboration. 

Players can likely expect to see iconic imagery worked into the collaboration in the form of Back Blings and Pickaxes. A Tardis Back Bling could be on the table, though nothing has been confirmed. 

Fortnite x Doctor Who Collaboration: Speculated Release Date

Epic Games has yet to confirm a Fortnite x Doctor Who collaboration, or given any indication of a release date. However, the leaks claim that it is scheduled for release around December/January, meaning that we'll likely see it arrive around the time the Christmas special episode airs.
