Summary
IfFortnitehas a crossover withCastlevania, then there are a few obvious options for what could come from such a collaboration. When it comes to a series as long-lived asCastlevania, then there are a lot of possibilities for what could come toFortnitethrough such a crossover. With so many possible options, some candidates could make fans happy from all across the franchise. However, when it comes to which choices could make the most impact, a few characters stick out more than most, to the point that a collaboration may not feel complete without them.
The recentcollaboration betweenMetal GearandFortnitewas the latest instance of characters from a major series making their way toFortnite. Since Snake was one of Konami’s most famous names, to the point of crossing over intoSuper Smash Bros., Snake feels like a character who was bound to get intoFortnitesooner or later. After all, the game has become something of a gathering place for pop culture icons. WithMetal Gearadding Snake and Raiden, it’s possible that other Konami properties could cross over as well. Outside ofMetal Gear, the biggest crossover that Konami could provide is likelyCastlevania.
Fortnite Could Take a Few Notable Characters from Castlevania
While fans are stillholding out hope for anotherCastlevaniagameafter a decade, the franchise has found new life in its animated incarnations. TheCastlevaniaseries that came to Netflix in 2017 told a new story and even managed the feat of making Dracula sympathetic. The trio of protagonists for the series were catapulted to prominence through the show’s popularity. As a result, three ofCastlevania’s best candidates for aFortnitecrossover may be:
The 2017 Netflix series wasn’t the only notable animated incarnation of one of themost iconic Metroidvania series.Castlevania: Nocturnecame out less than a year ago, and while it only has one season, it’s the latest that fans have seen of theCastlevaniauniverse. For that reason,Fortnite’s developers could see it as a strong candidate for characters to bring into the series. Protagonists Richter, Maria, and Annette are obvious picks for similar reasons to the firstCastlevaniaseries' trio. At the same time, the vampire Olrox could also be a contender, being an honorable creature of the night who brings something interesting to the series.
Alucard’s appearance in the season finale ofCastlevania: Nocturne, as well as his impressive performance in said episode, further strengthens his stock for a crossover appearance in addition to his deeds in the firstCastlevaniaseries.
Of course,Castlevaniahas a few crossover picks that should be more obvious than any other.Castlevania’s memorable antagonist Draculais fiction’s most memorable vampire, and he would be a perfect character to bring some star power toFortnite. Likewise, Simon Belmont was the original hero of the series and has had several games to prove his worth. It helps that both characters made it intoSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateas a playable character and boss, respectively, increasing their profile. As far asCastlevania’s prospects for aFortnitecrossover, it would be hard to overlook the most old-school characters in the series.
Crossovers are one ofFortnite’s biggest draws, and more are certain to follow in the future. AlthoughCastlevaniaisn’t among the biggerrumored crossovers forFortnite, it’s still a big enough name to be considered. While it has mostly subsisted through crossovers with other games likeSuper Smash Bros.andDead Cells, as well as its TV shows in recent years, it’s still an iconic IP. Not to mention, it would be far from the most obscure property to appear inFortnite. IfCastlevaniadoes cross over withFortnite, fans may have an idea of who to expect to see.
