The Futurama crossover into Fortnite comes ahead of Season 11 of Futurama on Disney+. The show first aired in 1999 from Simpsons creator Matt Groening. Over its years, it attracted a large cult following, however, was canceled and revived on and off over that time. 

Fortnite is essentially a mayhem of pop culture franchises brought into the Battle Royale. Previous crossovers and collabs over the years have seen Rick and Morty, Marvel heroes, My Hero Academia, Stranger Things, and so many, many more. In essence, Fortnite has become an ad almost for specific franchises ahead of respective releases to increase hype. 

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 is its latest season which began on June 9th. Season 3 saw the introduction of the wilds brought to the map, along with jungle-related skins, items and even traversal like sliding faster through mud, and grinding on vines while using a weapon.
