Recently, a leak claimed to revealFortnite’s plans for 2024.

There is an extensive list of content that has yet to be proven as true or false, but one of the most intriguing crossovers claimed from the leak is a collaboration with theMad Maxfranchise.
A crossover is exciting enough, but the leak claims thatFortnite’s Season 3 could actually be themed aroundMad Max. This may seem too good to be true, but there is actually some weight to these rumors.

The Timing of Chapter 5 Season 3
It was recently confirmed thatChapter 5 Season 2 will end on May 24. It feels like Season 2 has just started, but it will be exciting to see where the next phase of Chapter 5 takes players. One of the most intriguing aspects of this date is that the timing actually lines up perfectly for aMad Maxcrossover.
Furiosa, the upcomingMad Maxspin-off starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth, is also set to release in theaters on May 24. This could very well just be a coincidence, but the time is almost a little too perfect when looking at the leaked roadmap. As playersprepare forFortnite’s Season 3, there may be a desert wasteland waiting on the horizon. Dialogue from The Oracle found in the map’s Scrying Pools kickstarted this apocalyptic wasteland theory, as she warns players about a future filled with black skies and choking dust. For those unfamiliar with the world ofMad Max, this falls in line with the franchise’s polluted desert wasteland.
As of now, there has not been any official news confirming or denying these rumors, but there have at least beenmoreFortniteleaksclaiming a post-apocalyptic setting is imminent. Despite this crossover just being speculation, if this theory proves to be true, there could be a variety of exciting things to expect from aMad Maxcrossover.
As May 24 draws closer, it will quickly become more apparent if any features from the above wish list may actually make it into the game.Mad Maxis a lot darker than most crossovers thatFortnitefeatures, but the release ofFuriosaand thelaunch of Season 3being on the same date may not just be mere coincidence.
