It looks like even Monopoly gets a Fortnite collaboration!
When Fortnite, Chapter 2 Season 8, began Epic Games announced its first collaboration with Balenciaga. This was kind of out of nowhere and left many puzzled but it was kind of cool. Then another strange collaboration was leaked with Monoply the world's most famous board game and finally brought into the game let's re-tread the steps that lead us up to a Monoply collaberation.
It first started with the well-known Fortnite leaker HYPEX who found files that seem to reveal a Fortnite x Monopoly crossover.

I have no idea if it's a collab but it looks like it, they just got decrypted! pic.twitter.com/qn9k20ORlY
It was only recently that Epic had officially revealed the crossover proving that HYPEX was indeed correct.
The Monopoly x Fortnite Crossover
- Dog
- Rubber Ducklings
- Cat
- T-Rex
- Penguin
- Automobile
- Cylinder
- Battleship
As you may have noticed, these are some of the most iconic game characters from Monopoly. The back-blings should be available in the item shop at some point in the near future. However, you can only buy them as a bundle. The "Monopoly game pieces" set cost 800 V-Bucks.
The crossover doesn't seem to be part of a larger Monopoly anniversary or anything, either, as the game celebrated its 85th Anniversary last year. It's more likely to be a continuation of an already existing partnership. The toy manufacturer Hasbro released a Monopoly: Fortnite Edition back in 2018, which contained some of the most famous skins and locations from the Battle Royale.
We'll just throw that into the room now, but who knows, maybe there will soon be a Monopoly LTM in Fortnite to match with the back blings later down the line. We have to wait until further details come to light, and of course, we will keep you updated.
