One battle royale after another. After prolific crossovers with Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Fortnite appears to be gearing up for a collaboration with the film One Battle After Another. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, the upcoming thriller, slated for a September 26 theatrical release, isn’t what anyone would consider fodder for Fortnite, making this crossover all the more intriguing.
The official Instagram account for the film put out a brief teaser, recreating a scene from the movie in which DiCaprio’s character (replaced by Fortnite protagonist Jonesy in this teaser video) answers a covert call at a phone booth. “There are no hands on the clock. #OneBattleAfterAnother x Fortnite coming soon,” the video’s caption reads.

It’s unclear what kind of content will come out of this collaboration, including whether it will take the form of skins based on the movie’s characters or any missions given by NPCs on the battle royale map. Perhaps it’ll be a Fortnite Creative experience with the purpose of promoting the film, but it’s hard to imagine what that would look like.
