So, the question is, what franchise will Epic Games collaborate on next? While Fortnite’s probably overflowing with superhero guest stars at this point, from Batman to Wolverine, actor Jack Quaid has expressed a desire to see skins based on superhero show The Boys be included at some point.

This isn’t the first video game related idea Quaid has had, as he has previously shared some of his own ideas for The Boys games, like a tabletop RPG or something developed by Rocksteady, the studio behind the Batman: Arkham games and the upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Of course, Quaid likely has no say on such a deal even happening, but this could potentially spark a conversation between Epic and the show’s producers. However, given that The Boys is aimed at mature audiences and features a very dark and cynical tone, Epic may think twice about incorporating any of it into Fortnite.
A large chunk of Fortnite’s audience consists of young children, something that the likes of Marvel and Star Wars can be marketed to. Promoting a purely adult series like The Boys in an otherwise cartoony game could result in controversy and a backlash from parents.
These are things that Epic most definitely doesn’t need at the moment, as it is still in the midst of its lawsuit with Apple. The antagonism between the two companies has only been escalating as of late, with Apple now warning that Fortnite won’t be returning to its app store until 2021 at the earliest.
This doesn’t appear to be stopping Epic from continuing to do some cross-promotion. Recently, it’s struck a deal to provide anyone who buys Star Wars: Squadrons on the Epic Games Store a free X-Wing Glider to use in Fortnite.
Fortnite is available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
