Amongst all the thrilling and pleasant features of the gaming universe, one that might bethe collaboration between Fortnite andMinecraft is definitely the most legendary. A rumor, yet very strong to make gamers puzzled and inquisitive, is circulating, claiming that the two gaming giants are indeed cooperating to change things. The identity of the leaker who spread this news is ShiinaBR, a well-known leaker. He claimed that the info came from a trusted source, AdiraFNInfo. Unbelievable, but at the same time, the gaming community is literally overwhelmed with the massive excitement and speculations about this improbable event.
What’s the story? A collab of Fortnite and Minecraft? This sort of rumor is sometimes referred to as an inverse meme, which has crept out of the meme universe of 2019 and knocked you down with its pure and unfiltered hype. ShiinaBR dropped a bomb and pointed to the information from AdiraFNInfo, who apparently has a pretty good track record. And the fallout from the gaming community? Total chaos, of course. Gamers are in the urge-to-freak-out mood.
One user called TokinoOff outright stated that they had been “WAITING 8 YEARS FOR THAT COLLAB,” and, with the hands emoticon praying, added “MAKE IT HAPPEN PLEASE” to Epic Games’ support request. That’s quite a mood, for sure. Another user, mxsea05, just posted a gif of a person yelling “OMG please god let that leak be true 😭”. The emotions related to that rumor are excellent and a bit insane, which is a sign that it is an authentic rumor.
But what if such a rumor really came true? That is the main question that people really want to know the answer to. Fortnite skins are highly, highly… detailed and in their own cartoonish way, kind of realistic-ish. Minecraft characters are, on the other hand, just blocks. What is the technique to turn Steve or Alex into Fortnite’s art style without it being totally whack? Some gamers, like mxsea05 (who is LITERALLY everywhere in these replies, bless them), proposed that they could approach the design “the same way that they did with other collabs before,” possibly referring to inter-stylized franchises like Ninjago or other collabs. Another user, ballonman_g, encumbered the real question: “I mean, how else are they going to do skins?” For real, are we going to have a cubic Steve skin? A pickaxe harvesting tool? A Creeper back bling that explodes? The scenarios are pretty hilarious to think about.
The leak mentions “early development” specifically which, as user YesDawid said, basically means that “we won’t be seeing it anytime soon.” So, there is no need to spend your V-Bucks yet. However, the rumor mill has not only kept spinning but has been running at full tilt. There are guesses that it could be a major season theme, similar to the recent ones based on The Simpsons. User barrera_ga98673 posits, “What if it is a Minecraft season like The Simpsons season turned out to be?” Just picture it: a Battle Royale island partially “minecraft-ified” with pixelated ground and hidden caves. Actually, that would be… kinda insane.
Other gamers are just humorously speculating what this collaboration could be called! Turbo1v1 most vigorously suggested, “please call it minegraph.” I confess that it is not bad at all, actually. And, of course, memes are still pouring in. GumballWatter42 stated that “the 2019 dank Reddit memers would have lost their minds if this was announced back then,” which is 1000% true. The altering of the culture of these two gaming titans, who were, in some bizarre way, viewed as rivals in a weird console war, now possibly forming an alliance is just… hard to comprehend. mxsea05 even joked that today’s gamers would “lose their minds if they knew that Minecraft and Fortnite are now both at the same level of gaming history.” And, honestly, they are not wrong. Both have been the defining titles of their times and possess incredible stamina.
On one hand, gamers are really looking forward to this day, but on the other hand, there is still skepticism coming from the gamers’ side. User TirsiakComeHome responded with a hopeful “Is that true? One can wish, I guess” to a post about Adira’s reliability. It is indeed a lovely mixture of “PLEASE BE REAL” and “I have been through rumors before, and it is a tough road.” And user Burnsthebest was not very confident, which made mxsea05 reply to his comment with a rather harsh “No it will just become old milk and die 💀”. A bit extreme, but, hey, the internet can be a place for PlayStation and Xbox fans alike.
