Fortnite's next seasonal update, Chapter 7 Season 4: Override, is centering itself around video game culture and iconic characters from across the medium. The season will feature crossovers with recognizable franchises including Sonic, Tetris, Mega Man, and Persona 5, with these characters available as cosmetics for players. While Fortnite has pursued gaming collaborations in the past, Override represents an unusually comprehensive thematic approach, dedicating an entire season to gaming nostalgia and IP partnerships rather than spreading them across multiple seasonal narratives.
- Override is themed entirely around video game properties and characters, marking a more concentrated gaming-focused season than Fortnite's typical crossover approach.
- The season will include cosmetics tied to major franchises spanning different eras and genres, from classic arcade (Tetris, Mega Man) to modern action (Sonic, Persona 5).
