There have been rumors thatFortnitecould cross over withKingdom Hearts, Square Enix’s hit JRPG franchise that combines the worlds and characters of beloved Disney movies with elements of theFinal Fantasyseries. One such claim surfaced as theKingdom Heartsgames were added to Steam back in June, with the source suggesting that Square Enix was looking into crossovers with other video games.

Leaked Fortnite/Disney Crossovers
For those who didn’t grow up during the heyday of the Disney Afternoon programming block,Darkwing Duckwas an animated comedy spawned from the success ofDucktalesin which the titular “Terror that Flaps in the Night” fights crime in various tongue-in-cheek adventures. Meanwhile,Gargoyleswas a surprisingly dark and cerebral action showstarring winged creatures that lived as stone statues during the day, only to awaken to battle evil at night. Both shows are regarded as cult classics today, and received video game adaptations while they aired.
It should be stressed that the rumor of these beloved Disney properties crossing over withFortnitehasn’t been confirmed by any means yet, but the original source, DaRyo, has made accurateFortnitepredictions in the past. D23 is streaming aspecial event exclusively inFortnitethis year as part of a new partnership between Disney and Epic Games, so players should keep their eyes peeled for any official confirmations this weekend.
