Hot on the animated heels of The Simpsons, South Park/Fortnite Crossover which enjoyed its own Fortnite mini-season throughout November last year, it’s been confirmed South Park has its own collaboration with the battle royale juggernaut set to arrive this week.

There’s no further confirmed information regarding how extensive the South Park content will be, but clarity on this appears to be just a couple of days away.

Rumours of a South Park/Fortnite crossover have been in circulation since late last year.

The news never stops with Fortnite, following confirmation Epic’s shooter has remained the most-played game on PlayStation in the US in 2025, a clear shift in its nipple policy, and the arrival of… Kim Kardashian.
