## Summary

Fortnite’s Chapter 7 Season 4, titled Fortnite Override, is due to launch on 20 August after downtime, with a hacking and gaming theme. It matters because Epic Games appears to be building one of the game’s largest video-game crossover seasons yet, combining confirmed franchises with new gameplay features and potential Battle Pass content.

Confirmed collaborations include Sonic the Hedgehog, Persona, Tetris and Pac-Man, while Mega Man, Undertale, Crash Bandicoot and Kingdom Hearts are among the unconfirmed possibilities. Teasers also point to a new “Lobby Hacks” mechanic, which lets players enter codes in the lobby for perks; a reveal trailer is scheduled for 16 August at 12 p.m. EDT and is reportedly 1 minute 39 seconds long.
