Fortnite, which is known for its huge pop culture crossovers, might soon add another favorite animated character—Ben 10. Recently, one of the co-creators of the franchise mentioned (in a comment) the chance of a partnership, saying that the addition of Big Hero 6’s Baymax to the game proves that “fans should never say never.” Ben 10 first aired in 2005 and quickly became a key part of Cartoon Network. The show is about a 10-year-old boy named Ben Tennyson, who discovers the Omnitrix, a powerful alien device that lets him change into various extraterrestrial beings.
Over the years, this franchise has created multiple spin-off series, animated films and live-action adaptations, which solidify its role in animation history. Rumors about a possible Fortnite partnership gained attention after Fortnite leaker Samleakss posted about the co-creator’s comments that hinted at a possible Fortnite X Ben 10 crossover. Although Epic Games has not made any official confirmation, the idea of Ben Tennyson and his many alien forms joining the Fortnite universe has thrilled fans.
If the Ben 10 collaboration happens, it wouldn’t be the first time a Cartoon Network property has entered Fortnite. The game has already shown skins from Rick and Morty, with characters like Rick Sanchez, Mecha Morty and Mr. Meeseeks appearing. Additionally, Fortnite has included DC characters that have appeared on Cartoon Network, such as Raven, Starfire and Beast Boy.
Fortnite’s Chapter 6 Season 1 keeps pushing the limits of crossovers: it recently added Kaiju No. 8 and even sparked rumors of a King of the Hill collaboration featuring Hank Hill. With Fortnite’s history of surprising and thrilling partnerships, it’s totally possible that players may soon find themselves jumping into battle as Ben Tennyson—or even as one of his many alien forms. For now, fans will have to wait for an official announcement; however, if Fortnite has taught us anything, it’s that no crossover is out of the question.
