The Keyblade dream may finally be coming true in Fortnite, gamers.
The internet is abuzz with Fortnite and Disney rumors ahead of this weekend’s D23 showcase within the game, where everyone is expecting Epic Games to reveal the Chapter Five, season four Marvel theme that’s been rumored for some time.
But according to leakers, it won’t end there. Prolific leakers @HYPEX and @ShiinaBR have both reported that Disney and Epic will also announce a dedicated Disney collab-themed tab within Fortnite, where previous skins such as Marvel heroes and others will remain for an unspecified amount of time.
The excitement doesn’t end there, though, because it didn’t take long for the leakers to also find that another leak account, @DaRyo1989, posted the same information a day earlier with even more juicy Disney goodness. According to DaRyo, even more Disney collabs are on the way, including Darkwing Duck, Gargoyles, and, oh yeah, a little game called Kingdom Hearts.
Sora and other Kingdom Hearts characters like Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and others have been at or near the top of the wishlist for collaborations in Fortnite for some time. The overwhelmingly hyped reaction to Sora being revealed for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate a few years ago may just be a taste of what it will look like if this leak comes to fruition.
It’s not only skins, though. The leaker claims the Kingdom Hearts Keyblade will come to Fortnite as a Mythic weapon that can be found in-game, similar to current weapons like Magneto’s Power, furthering the collaborative effort between Epic and Disney after the latter invested $1.5 billion in the former earlier this year.
Alongside tomorrow’s mini in-game event, tomorrow night’s D23 stream could set this up as one of the biggest weekends in Fortnite in a long time ahead of next week’s new season launch on Aug. 16.
