"The files that have been unearthed by dataminers at this point are likely to be early, unfinished concepts, so without an official announcement from Epic it's hard to tell exactly what any future collab is going to look like. Fortnite's many and varied cross-franchise collaborations happen at different scales, from small themed cosmetic packs all the way up to mini seasons like the current Simpsons crossover."
"SamLeakss also posted that a Harry Potter collaboration is in the works for Chapter 7, leading a number of Fortnite fans to speak out about the crossover before it has even officially been announced. Fortnite content creator Wenso posted a statement about the leak, expressing disappointment in Epic Games for choosing to collaborate with the franchise in the light of creator JK Rowling's openly transphobic views."
Fortnite's latest update added a Simpsons crossover while dataminers discovered files suggesting future cross-franchise content. Leakers report SpongeBob and Harry Potter collaborations slated for Chapter 7. Fortnite creator Shiina confirmed SpongeBob elements such as Plankton Wheels, Jellyfish Boost, and Flowers Drift Trail. Datamined files appear to be early, unfinished concepts, so official details remain unconfirmed by Epic. The Harry Potter leak prompted fan criticism because of creator JK Rowling's transphobic views and concerns amplified by Fortnite skipping its usual Pride event. Creators encouraged fans to contact Fortnite's official account to express objections about the potential crossover.
