Fortnite Leak hints at a potential collaboration with Super Mario
Most comments on the tweet reacted positively to the possibility of a crossover with SuperMario. Other players have expressed hope that the developers can add a mode inspired by the popular one Mario Kart series. Other comments seemed more cautious about the discovery, arguing that “most certainly” the block in question is a placeholder for something related to Rocket race. This is important to note, however Rocket race will no longer receive major updates, reducing the chances that the leaks are related to the mode shuffling Fortnite AND Rocket League.
As usual, leaks should be viewed with caution, as information may change or fail. It is also important to note another detail, namely the family-friendly orientation of Nintendo and its games, which could make a potential crossover difficult, although Epic Games has already tried to negotiate previously. Only time will tell if this leak is just a chance discovery or if there's a chance it could turn into a full-fledged crossover.
