Epic Games has announced the latest major collab in Fortnite, and it’s Harry Potter. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Epic are bringing “the world of Harry Potter” to Epic’s platform this month, including Fortnite and Rocket League.
The Fortnite Shop will be updated later this month with outfits and accessories based on all things Harry Potter and the wider wizarding world. The outfits can be tailored to specific houses, including Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff.
In Rocket League, the game’s Frosty Fest event will include a new Hogwarts House Rivalry event, during which players can earn points for their specific Hogwarts house. There will be Harry Potter-themed in-game shop items, too, and Epic said it will reveal them later this month.
Additionally, Hogwarts Legacy is now free on the Epic Games Store through December 18. People who play the game for at least two hours by December 18 will get the Chocolate Frog back bling for Fortnite.
While fans wait for the Harry Potter content to come to Fortnite and Rocket League, the newest Fortnite update coming on December 13 will add Kim Kardashian as a playable character. She is a big fan of Fortnite and worked closely with the developers on the collab.
In other news, Fortnite OG Season 7 is now live.
