Fortnite x TRON Collab Drops October 7 With New Skins
Fortnite fans are preparing to plug into the Grid as a new TRON collaboration arrives on October 7. Reliable leaker NotPaloleaks confirmed the crossover will feature one TRON skin and two emotes, sparking major excitement across the community.
The timing feels deliberate; it perfectly aligns with the theatrical release of TRON: Ares on October 10, hinting at a well-planned promotional tie-in between Epic Games and Disney’s futuristic franchise.
Players are already buzzing with speculation about what the new cosmetics might include. Many hope for lightcycle gliders, glowing pickaxes, and digital back blings that capture the series’ signature neon aesthetic. A few creative fans have even shared concept art online, imagining their Fortnite avatars racing through the sky on light trails or surrounded by glowing circuitry as they land on the island. It’s clear that for long-time TRON enthusiasts, this crossover means much more than a simple set of skins.
Community Reaction: Excitement, Memes, and Debate
The Fortnite community reacted instantly, flooding X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Reddit with a mix of excitement and skepticism. Some players can’t wait to relive the TRON nostalgia, while others voiced frustration over rumors that Jared Leto’s likeness could appear in-game. “Please don’t be Jared Leto,” one fan pleaded, while another threatened to “uninstall it if it’s Leto.” Still, countless others celebrated the news, calling it one of the coolest tie-ins in recent memory.
For many, this represents TRON’s long-awaited digital revival. One player summed it up perfectly: “We’ve waited a decade for TRON to return, and Fortnite finally did it justice.”
The Grid Awaits
Epic Games continues to master crossovers, and this one might shine brightest yet. On October 7, players will once again light up the island, ready to enter the Grid.
