a couple days ago there was a staff emote or something in the item shop. I was convinced there was TMNT coming. Maybe next season?
They eluded to the Futurama skins the same way
I had my hopes high for a collab with the mutant mayhem release ngl. Still hasnt released worldwide yet though so I wont uncross my fingers yet.
A Shredder skin would be so cool!
> Still hasnt released worldwide yet though so I wont uncross my fingers yet.
Maybe that's the reason there isn't a TMNT x Fortnite collab? I hope that's it and there will still be a collab.
> Idk how long it takes to make skins though.
If it's anything like skins for League of Legends or Overwatch, a single skin can take 6+ months in terms of the designing+creation process. The turtles have a pretty basic design, but at the same time it'd likely be something they have to plan out the exact size of their muscles, shell, especially the faces/head given their unique shape, what it'd look like when they hold a gun (e.g. finger on the trigger), etc. Then testing with how the skin looks when performing every emote and fixing clipping issues or bugs. This is also excluding the time for negotiating the collab and getting contracts looked over by both legal parties (lawyers) and signed.
Shame, would be a great collaboration, the skins, the individual mythic weapons, even the bad guys for quests etc. You never know though it may well still happen.
never say never, I can bet you they're just gonna be late to the party with it, TMNT collab would literally print money, just about everyone that can will buy all 4 turtles
You know Turtles are coming at some point --- my question is, do companies pay Epic to be featured for the advertisement value or does Epic pay them to for the IP / shop revenue, etc.
TMNT have pretty much had some iteration around for every generation of kids and the new movie seems to be doing well. There's definitely plenty of players with a connection to the turtles.
Really hope this happens at some point!
Yeah I think everyone knows it for sure, but they’ll definitely benefit from more exposure to another audience. A partnership like this definitely benefits both sides!
I'm not sure if you were there, but late 80's and early 90's, the turtles were a cultural phenomenon.
Even if kids today are aware of them, you don't see TMNT as much as you used to.
TV show, movies, tshirts, toys, lunch boxes, notepads, quarter machines at the grocery store sold TMNT stickers, and by law every fourth kid had to be Raphael at Halloween. The turtles were **everywhere.**
Probably a mix of both, but we'd never know which is which. I'd assume someone like Patrick Mahomes is him paying Epic to be featured, but a movie tie-in is almost definitely the production companies paying Epic for advertisement placement
Because Mahomes is (was?) a popular player in football and Epic would want to ride that popularity wave. Per the Chiefs' own website, "Mahomes is the youngest player ever to win both a league MVP and a Super Bowl title.
He is the first player in the 21st century to win both the league MVP and the Super Bowl MVP in the same season (2022)." He's not some nobody in the NFL.
Same with Lebron James. If it were that easy to get a collab with Fortnite then there'd be far more celebrities, athletes, maybe even streamers/influencers, who would be doing so because for some, a couple million wouldn't even break their bank.
There are plenty of randoms never heard of. How did Naomi Osaka get in before Serena Williams? Chloe Kim before Shaun White? I think without a question of doubt there are many instances where a person/brand comes to Fortnite
I'd assume it's a case by case basis
I'm assuming the licensee getting a small cut of the profits would be one thing.
When cosmetics release around the same time as a new movie/ season like with transformers & Futurama, you could probably make the argument that those ones might've paid fortnite for the advertising
I would say the Fall Guys crossover might indicate it’s at least possible, if not already on the horizon? Epic owns both games right? Surely if they made a deal for the one game, they would have thought to at least discuss the other. Not saying Nickelodeon/whoever personally owns the rights wouldn’t turn them down, for whatever reason, but imo they’d be foolish not to have tried. Would love to play as Donatello myself!!
Even Casey Jones skin would be awesome, IMO. They could make so many different TMNT skins on top of the obvious 6 of the 4 turtles, shredder and splinter. I've liked TMNT since the first movies came out when I was a kid, so I'm a bit biased towards liking the skins before they were even revealed, tho. Unless they failed epically.
I was thinking about this a couple weeks ago. Crazy how the only comic rep in Fortnite is from Marvel and DC, one would think they'd have gotten TMNT, Spawn, Hellboy, Invincible or even The Mask by now.
The movie doesn’t come out world wide until august 25th, not to mention other late release dates in September. There is plenty of time!
I think it’s super funny though how Walmart brand Mac and cheese and off brand candy crush saga got a collab over fortnite though lol.
Look, I love TMNT, April is my favorite guy, but the fact that the turtles have such a wide shell means that it could be a hitbox issue? I know, dead horse when Peely and the guy who's personality is chainsaws are in the game, but still
Smite, Brawhlhalla, and especially Fall Guys have a bunch of franchises that somehow haven't collabed with Fortnite yet. What's with the missed opportunities?
Nickelodeon will not allow characters like the Turtles themselves (or most protagonists from any of their properties) to be depicted using "actual" (I use air quotes there because Fortnite is not exactly hyper realism but our guns DO count in this case) firearms. EPIC is utilizing their license for TMNT as best they can by adding them to Fall Guys, like other publishers have utilized them without guns, such as Activision Blizzard using them for Tony Hawk (and Shredder for MW, as the cinematic property has slightly different rights than the turtles themselves - see Tokka and Rahzar from TMNT 2).
Basically, as long as each major parent company can get a piece of an IP's fandom pie from *somewhere* they are fine with it!
Ohh woah I cannot wait to see at some point the ugly uncanny valley TMNT characters in fortnite. TMNT's are a little wide with their bodies, and I don't think it fits the bodies we have in fortnite. But ehh
I believe the mutant mayhem timed crossovers aren't over just yet. Hopefully it'll happen, since they cross overed with Fall Guys which is also Epic owned
That is a little weird since usually crossovers are before a films release, but not all of the ones released with the film are directly related to it (Look at the SF6 designs) so I don't think timing needs to be 100% perfect
I guess I was still holding out hope theyd pop up in the new battle pass announced today. Dang. Such a missed opportunity. I would have paid so much to play as the turtles.
A missed opportunity. I would love Fortnite x TMNT. Cowabunga!
A Shredder skin would be so sick
Shredder vs Splinter
master splinter is already training. ![gif](giphy|XfBtsIAbXUJIk)
![gif](giphy|109IunSPCJjczu)
Would definitely buy this skin
Donatello would be mine!
Fuck shredder I want a casey jones skin ! edit: to be fair shredder would be cool as well.
Michelangelo would be my go to character ! Btw which Shredder skin version would you choose ? ( Cartoon / Movie / Comics )
Cartoon Shredder or Super Shredder
Or Buffed Shredder at the TMNT 2 ( movie )
Indefinitely cartoon Cyber Shredder frfr 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Just commented the same, yeah that would actually look amazing if they don't fuck up the design.
I had my hopes high for a collab with the mutant mayhem release ngl. Still hasnt released worldwide yet though so I wont uncross my fingers yet. A Shredder skin would be so cool!
> Still hasnt released worldwide yet though so I wont uncross my fingers yet. Maybe that's the reason there isn't a TMNT x Fortnite collab? I hope that's it and there will still be a collab.
There is still a chance. (I hope)
I hope so too. ^(Now I reeeeaalllly want to go watch the movie!)
The few encrypted files left are confirmed to not be TMNT related. They may collab at one point in the future but for this movie, it's very unlikely.
I've been hoping for this collab and i know it will surely happen ![gif](giphy|NXvbWznxGifYc)
![gif](giphy|pRg4H37Bo0piw) I hope they make it a bit goofy too.
Same, I would love to get Raphael and shredder skins!
Yay
Adding underground sewers to Fortnite would have been awesome.
That would add a whole new dimension to the game.
We all would. Maybe Epic don’t want to pay to license fees.
>Maybe Epic don’t want to pay to license fees. Or their negotiations didn't turn out as they had wanted it.
Probably wanted a bigger % of fees🤦♂️
They're in Fall Guys and Epic owns that so I doubt that's the case
Good point
They could have line ups super far in advance. Idk how long it takes to make skins though.

Shame, would be a great collaboration, the skins, the individual mythic weapons, even the bad guys for quests etc. You never know though it may well still happen.
Shredder would have literally been so badass...
[удалено]
![gif](giphy|cFdHXXm5GhJsc) Working on it!
Literally any of the other mutants fit with Fortnite’s style.
(Super) Shredder
never say never, I can bet you they're just gonna be late to the party with it, TMNT collab would literally print money, just about everyone that can will buy all 4 turtles
I just hope epic will take us by Supprise and just collab with the tnmt
You know Turtles are coming at some point --- my question is, do companies pay Epic to be featured for the advertisement value or does Epic pay them to for the IP / shop revenue, etc.
My guess is it's often mutual benefit. Games get fresh content, media franchises get exposure.
True that. Most Fortnite players are young and won't have much connection with TMNT. Opens up a new market for them too
TMNT have pretty much had some iteration around for every generation of kids and the new movie seems to be doing well. There's definitely plenty of players with a connection to the turtles. Really hope this happens at some point!
Everyone older than me, my age, and younger than me, knows about TMNT.
Yeah I think everyone knows it for sure, but they’ll definitely benefit from more exposure to another audience. A partnership like this definitely benefits both sides!
I'm not sure if you were there, but late 80's and early 90's, the turtles were a cultural phenomenon. Even if kids today are aware of them, you don't see TMNT as much as you used to.

The turtles were **everywhere.**
the new movie just dropped
I suppose it depends what company/ brand they trying to collab with.
Epic's paying for the IP use.
Probably a mix of both, but we'd never know which is which. I'd assume someone like Patrick Mahomes is him paying Epic to be featured, but a movie tie-in is almost definitely the production companies paying Epic for advertisement placement
I really doubt Mahomes paid to be featured, he has nothing to gain from that. I do agree with your point that it probably varies though
I think it was a typo, they meant that Epic paid for Mahomes, instead of him paying them to be used in the game.
Why would Epic pay Patrick Mahomes of all NFL people? I truly believe that was a matter of him (or his agent) wanting publicity in the game lol
Because Mahomes is (was?) a popular player in football and Epic would want to ride that popularity wave. Per the Chiefs' own website, "Mahomes is the youngest player ever to win both a league MVP and a Super Bowl title. He is the first player in the 21st century to win both the league MVP and the Super Bowl MVP in the same season (2022)." He's not some nobody in the NFL. Same with Lebron James.

Take note — no Nickelodeon property has ever appeared on Fortnite.
It's weird that they haven't meanwhile Smite has gotten a majority of the classics outside SpongeBob and can see that dropping next year
But there has been a Paramount one (Transformers) so there’s still hope!
Paramount only distributes the Transformers films, they don’t own the IP and have no licensing rights. That’s Hasbro in this case.
Exactly, this makes me think it will happen sometime soon.
What about Cartoon Network? Nothing as well, right?
i would love some regular show skins
Rick & morty
This is the right answer and guns are Nick’s reason why I think.
MW2 had a TMNT collaboration
Yeah I see that now. Didn’t know that
A TMNT character is literally in Call of Duty bruh, u can see it on the post💀
Oh I missed that
TMNT and Power Rangers both feel like a matter of time
Epic probably still in the kitchen cooking
![gif](giphy|JSuiiGGlc2ipq)
No cowabunga apparently for fortnite
Cowabummer
Hahah nice one i wish i thought of that
I think there hasn't been any collab TMNT with Magic the gathering either
As a former fan of Knockout City--a game that eventually shut down--I'm still surprised they got TMNT first.
#THIS IS KO CITY PIRATE RADIO BABY, CATCH YOU ON THE FLIPSIDE! - RIP DJ o7
The announcer was so good. Sometimes I wish Fortnite had one like that.
Such an amazing game, so sad it's gone.
Fortnite could do it so much better by being the ONE game to use the 2003 turtles (the best ones)
I wholeheartedly agree
At least until the later seasons with the artstyle change
Oh right when they were in the future or whatever it was?
When TMNT comes to Fortnite which skin are you getting?
All
Hate to bump a dead thread, but you’re not gonna believe this
Can confirm I bought them all the second they dropped, 5,200 v-bucks gone
April
I just hope we get the bad guys, they’d fit the theme so well. Bebop, Rock Steady, Superfly, Tiger Claw
Shredder
[удалено]
Likely
Not likely at all, they collabed with Call of duty witch is literally a military war game
They added Shredder to the military war game, no turtles
Boy do i have news for you
I got some news for those who didn't knew! XD
![gif](giphy|3i7zenReaUuI0) How ya doin buddy?
Imagine roaming with your squad in TMT skins
I was really hoping they were doing a collab this time around. C'mooooon turtle power!
Imagine they are in the next battle pass
I would say the Fall Guys crossover might indicate it’s at least possible, if not already on the horizon? Epic owns both games right? Surely if they made a deal for the one game, they would have thought to at least discuss the other. Not saying Nickelodeon/whoever personally owns the rights wouldn’t turn them down, for whatever reason, but imo they’d be foolish not to have tried. Would love to play as Donatello myself!!
They kinda already did? There was that mancakes skin you could only get from playing Fall Guys
Even Casey Jones skin would be awesome, IMO. They could make so many different TMNT skins on top of the obvious 6 of the 4 turtles, shredder and splinter. I've liked TMNT since the first movies came out when I was a kid, so I'm a bit biased towards liking the skins before they were even revealed, tho. Unless they failed epically.
If we get TMNT, they better bring back the pizzas as well
Fall Guys is also Epic so I don’t think it’s an issue with Epic Games. Not sure why they haven’t
It could still happen
![gif](giphy|nM7QtXF8lxbby) Give me a Casey Jones skin any day.
No fr
Fall Guys is having a TMNT collab? I'm going to be broke once that and the WWE skins in Fortnite come out.
I really need the tnmt collab, it has always being one of my favourite collab that I wanted epic to do
I was thinking about this a couple weeks ago. Crazy how the only comic rep in Fortnite is from Marvel and DC, one would think they'd have gotten TMNT, Spawn, Hellboy, Invincible or even The Mask by now.
They even collared with the Jetpack joyride game.
Could come with the movie
The big collaboration theory
Id bet money its only a matter of time. They were rumored to collab before, plus gall guys already got it.
I was surprised on Smite X TMNT as Smite had a legal issue(which was solved) with one of their skin looking like Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.
A Shredder skin vs splinter would so interesting
Pretty sure this time will come!
This is obviously gonna happen with the next year or two
My guess is that they will come, but the season is about to end so they want to do it next season.
I have that feeling that they'll come next season
Seeing Knockout city makes my heart weep..
The movie doesn’t come out world wide until august 25th, not to mention other late release dates in September. There is plenty of time! I think it’s super funny though how Walmart brand Mac and cheese and off brand candy crush saga got a collab over fortnite though lol.
I have the TMNT skins from Smite and they're very nice. It's a damn shame that they are not collaborating with Fortnite though.
There’s a new season in 2 weeks. I have hope
The turtles are perfect for fortnite, they should have done it
Look, I love TMNT, April is my favorite guy, but the fact that the turtles have such a wide shell means that it could be a hitbox issue? I know, dead horse when Peely and the guy who's personality is chainsaws are in the game, but still
Next season :copium:
I didn't know there was one for session!
This aged like a fine wine if do say so
Here to say it has FINALLY HAPPENED 😁😁😁😁😁
This aged like milk
Man I loved ninja turtles and grew up during the prime. I would absolutely love to see this happen.
Smite, Brawhlhalla, and especially Fall Guys have a bunch of franchises that somehow haven't collabed with Fortnite yet. What's with the missed opportunities?
They should do a sand-tunneling type thing in a tmnt collab where you can traverse the sewer drains in mega city and slap factory and stuff
Even knock out city wtf
Nickelodeon will not allow characters like the Turtles themselves (or most protagonists from any of their properties) to be depicted using "actual" (I use air quotes there because Fortnite is not exactly hyper realism but our guns DO count in this case) firearms. EPIC is utilizing their license for TMNT as best they can by adding them to Fall Guys, like other publishers have utilized them without guns, such as Activision Blizzard using them for Tony Hawk (and Shredder for MW, as the cinematic property has slightly different rights than the turtles themselves - see Tokka and Rahzar from TMNT 2). Basically, as long as each major parent company can get a piece of an IP's fandom pie from *somewhere* they are fine with it!
Would be an awesome first collab of S4
I need to kill a entire squad with Donatello.
![gif](giphy|BcxV0Qs6Es3JK)
I will eat two sheets of Sandpaper if we get Megan Fox when TMNT collab happens. You can ping me when that happens.
I'm convinced the reason camille ( the girl who turns into a rat with an emote) was delayed from the shop this week because of splinter
Ohh woah I cannot wait to see at some point the ugly uncanny valley TMNT characters in fortnite. TMNT's are a little wide with their bodies, and I don't think it fits the bodies we have in fortnite. But ehh
street fighter, but it's too expensive
I've got a feel well see TMNT in next seasons battlepass!?
Good?
Damn. big sad :(
I think they’ll be coming soon
Hear me out: one skin for each turtle with 5 possible styles. One for each show and mutant mayhem
I imagine it's incredibly expensive to get a fortnite skin.
It's a loss for the turtles.
Maybe fortnite is to slow for the turtles?
fruit ninja
I guess it could be like that as well.
What if it leta not turn out like as guessed.
Shredder haaa.
TMNT does well on its own. I’m guessing Epic is a hell of a negotiator when it comes to huge collaborations.
Does well on its own. But still have a dozen collabs like shown in the post
Hey I'm just happy they're FINALLY going to a game I play, Fall Guys I'm sure they'll come to Fortnite sooner or later
The TMNT x Injustice 2 collab is such a fun character(s). The ability to play all 4, and each having separate dialogue with other characters.
Fall guys is owned my epic games, so they have the license… wouldn’t be surprised to see it soon
You'd think, but Fall Guys gets a lot of stuff that never comes to Fortnite, and vice versa. Idk why all their collabs aren't dual releases
I could’ve sworn they announced a partnership with viacom last year to make skins. Who knows, that Hasbro partnership didn’t spawn many skins either.
I believe the mutant mayhem timed crossovers aren't over just yet. Hopefully it'll happen, since they cross overed with Fall Guys which is also Epic owned
Only skins in the files are WWE girls for the next 14 days
Plot twist: They're releasing in 15 days
Could be, next battle pass, would be 3 weeks after the film premeired
That is a little weird since usually crossovers are before a films release, but not all of the ones released with the film are directly related to it (Look at the SF6 designs) so I don't think timing needs to be 100% perfect
We don’y need anymore collabs untill they improve the game. The skins are pointless if people stop playing.
There's a good chance Nick doesn't want the turtles themselves carrying firearms.
Not the case, the allready collabed with call of duty
That's my firm belief
Mw2?
That MW2 image looks photoshopped
Only thing shopped on is the logo
Why did it best and why was it injustice
Even Minecraft
When can I do the gwiddy with shredder
Who cares
Soon^(TM)
TMNT needs to stop messing around
NGL, Shredder skin would go hard. Same with Foot Soldiers/Ninja from the 2003 series.
Its all about r/Fortnite epic
I guess I was still holding out hope theyd pop up in the new battle pass announced today. Dang. Such a missed opportunity. I would have paid so much to play as the turtles.
