Fortnite's next season, Chapter 7 Season 4 (subtitled "Override"), has been confirmed as a gaming-themed "Gaming Legends" crossover event through a series of official teasers. On 10 August, the Sonic the Hedgehog X account posted a clip revealing a Sonic-themed location on the Fortnite map, with Sega's YouTube channel sharing the same teaser and stating the collaboration begins on 20 August, matching the season's launch date. This confirms months of speculation that hacking and gaming icons would feature heavily in the new season.

The teaser shows a Green Hill-inspired area where Peely runs alongside a curled-up, speeding Sonic, which fans believe hints at a Sonic-style mythic item. Eagle-eyed players also spotted Tetris-shaped clouds in the background, corroborating an earlier leak about a Tetris tie-in. Separately, a new "Hint Transmissions" Discord channel has been distributing "Lobby Hack" codes, one of which, "TakeYourHeart", references Persona 5, fuelling further speculation about a possible Persona crossover.
