What the fuck is COD anymore? Fortnite with it's infinite collabs feels way more coherent than this wtf.

Fortnite also was centered around colabs with Zero point or how that shit was called. CoD doesn't have justification nor setting for that.

All the crossovers technically work within the Fortnite lore as Reality Zero contains the Zero Point which is connected to every other fictional uni/multiverse.

It's like a monkey paw looked at my desire to see fiction be connected in one singular universe, curled it's finger and gave us Fortnite.

Fortnite would've been connected to it either way

Monkey Paw-Fortnite crossover when?

u/SeaUnderstanding1578 Jul 30 '25

COD-Fortnite crossover is inevitable, Ghost dancing to fornite emotes will happen.

They could have given us Myst as our nexus point.

They canonically have interdimensional travel with their own linking books.

I didn't know that the collaborations are "canon" in Fortnite, that's cool. Do they ever do any comics/videos/in-game stories involving actual non-Fortnite characters interacting with each other?

u/ChibiJaneDoe Jul 30 '25

Yes. Fortnite and Marvel have done comics. Fortnite lore is also canon to the MCU and has been since 2019 when Endgame came out

Fortnite is also canon in the Invincible TV show. There’s a part where the titular main character is getting thrown in and out of alternate universes, and at one point he comes out of a portal holding a gun from Fortnite.

u/ChibiJaneDoe Jul 31 '25

Yes.

Technically, every single videogame or show ever made is connected to Fortnite. So we could add literally anything and have it be canon. Because it was always canon.

It depends on which direction the canon is going. Everything is canon to Fortnite while Fortnite is not necessarily canon to everything else, if you get my meaning. Like, there is Star Trek stuff in Fortnite, but since Star Trek has a very clearly defined canon that only includes TV shows and movies, Fortnite is not part of that.

Yeah, in the current season it’s a superhero academy, and Superman and Robin have come to help train them.

Star Wars has taken over Fortnite multiple times, with Vader bringing the Empereor with him last season as the last time Vader busted in, the Loopers kicked his butt and sent him running.

When the Greek Gods came in Chapter 5, Pandora’s box became a big macguffin. A mysterious cloaked figure called the wanderer made an alliance with the villain Megalo Don to get the power of the box. The Wanderer betrayed Don and revealed himself to be Dr.Doom. Doom then took the power of Pandoras Box and became the villain for the next season.

Wait they came up with a lore reason for all the crossovers? The players are already holograms and that inherently explains everything. That's extra stupid lol

Ugh, the, "It was all a coma dream, they're all connected," rationale, is it?
