The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are making a much-anticipated return to Fortnite, setting the stage for an exciting crossover event.
Slated for February 9, the event follows previous leaks and teases that suggested the iconic characters would be coming back to the popular battle royale game.
Epic Games confirmed the return of TMNT to Fortnite by releasing an unmistakable image of the brother's favourite catchphrase, Cowabunga, which also appeared as a teaser in-game, further fueling anticipation.
This isn't the first time that TMNT skins have come to Fortnite: Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo, and April O'Neil arrived last December. The upcoming Cowabunga event on February 9 is introducing even more TMNT-themed content into Fortnite.
While Epic Games has kept specific details under wraps, leaks have provided insight into the upcoming crossover. Among the most exciting rumors is the addition of a Shredder skin, a character pivotal to the TMNT series. The design of this skin has been well-received by fans, though its final appearance in Fortnite remains to be seen. Beyond Shredder, there are hints of an in-game location dedicated to TMNT, as well as unique weapons and augments themed around the franchise.
