My squad and I dropped into Tilted Towers yesterday, only to find the map glitched, showing off character skins that shouldn’t exist yet. A quick Google search led me down the rabbit hole: whispers of a massive Warner Bros. collaboration hitting Fortnite soon. Could this be the game-changer Chapter 7 needs?
Epic Games clearly wants Fortnite to be more than just a battle royale; crossovers are practically part of the game’s DNA. Now, intel suggests the team may be cooking up a Fortnite Warner Bros. game mode – possibly larger than anyone anticipates.
New leaks hint at a substantial Fortnite Warner Bros. collaboration, potentially introducing a new game mode *and* a ranked playlist. If accurate, this could easily be among the most ambitious collaborations of 2026. Let’s break down the currently available information.
The Fortnite Warner Bros. Game Mode Could Be Revealed Any Day
Think back to the playground: rumors always spread fastest right before the big game. According to trusted leakers HYPEX and AdiraFNInfo, this new Fortnite x Warner Bros. game mode is codenamed “Pimlico” internally. The leakers suggest that Warner Bros. is involved in its development and that the mode is announcement-ready, potentially dropping news next week. Select content creators have reportedly already test-driven it.
What new mechanics are rumored for the Pimlico game mode?
Another leaker, Loolo_WRLD, previously mentioned the Pimlico mode including a tackling mechanic and enhanced character/object physics. This feels like a calculated move, potentially introducing physics tuned to match the wackier vibe of IPs such as Looney Tunes. Think of it as pouring lighter fluid on the already explosive gameplay. The ranked mode is slated to last until the end of Chapter 7 Season 1 (March 4, 2026).
What Warner Bros. properties could appear in Fortnite?
From Harry Potter spells to Gotham City gliders, Fortnite and Warner Bros. have a history. Now, it looks as if the partnership is evolving in Chapter 7. There’s no concrete information regarding Pimlico. But many players want to see a spiritual successor to Multiversus. That game’s characters and mechanics could translate very well into the Fortnite universe. I’d wager we will see Batman skins, and potentially some DC Comics-inspired weaponry.
Fortnite‘s collaborative efforts are like brushstrokes on a massive canvas, creating a constantly evolving piece of art. The canvas will be even bigger if all of the leaks are true.
Will the Warner Bros. crossover mode be pay-to-win?
Previous Warner Bros. collaborations have mostly centered around cosmetic items, so the likelihood of a truly pay-to-win scenario seems low. The ranked mode could offer some progression-based rewards, but those should still be obtainable through regular play. I would be surprised if Epic Games took that path.
This potential Warner Bros. game mode could bring big changes to Chapter 7. Will it be the refresh Fortnite needs, or will it fade away like so many limited-time events?
