At this point, it’s hard to think of major entertainment brands that Fortnite
hasn’t collaborated with. Though there has been plenty of sports representation in the battle royale game, Fortnite hasn’t seen much basketball action. That’s set to change, as Epic Games has announced that the NBA is coming to Fortnite with official outfits, as well as a limited-time mode, all in celebration of the NBA Playoffs.
Epic Games released a new trailer to reveal the NBA collaboration with Fortnite. We see characters sporting different jerseys from around the league, from the Brooklyn Nets to the Los Angeles Lakers, every team is represented in the “crossover” event. The NBA Playoffs begin this weekend, and players will be able to show their support in-game. The NBA outfits will come to the Fortnite item shop on Friday, May 21 at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.
