Fortnitehas continued to partner up withInvincible,a comic book series that has been adapted for release through Amazon Prime. This ongoing partnership providesFortniteplayers with a great roster of skins from which to choose, including cosmetics based on the titular hero Invincible, Omni-Man, and Atom Eve, and the popularity ofInvinciblemakes the collaboration a no-brainer.
However, the presence ofInvincibleinFortnitealso shines a light on a glaring omission from the battle royale title.Invincibleisn’t the only comic series that has proven to be a hit on Amazon Prime, asThe Boyshas been a staple on the streaming service since 2019. As moreInvinciblecrossovers come toFortnite, the more the absence ofThe Boysis felt.
Fortnite’s Crossovers With Invincible Raises Questions About When The Boys Will Finally Get the Same Treatment
Invincible and The Boys Have Been Featured in the Same Game Before
InvincibleandThe Boyshave already appeared in a popular game together, which makesThe Boys' absence inFortnitethat much more surprising. Last summer, it was rumored thatThe Boyscould finally be coming toFortnite, but that never materialized.The Boysis one of the most popular shows streaming on Amazon Prime, so one would assume that it could serve as the foundation for an incredibly successfulFortnitecollaboration. However, skins based oncharacters like Homelanderand Billy Butcher are nowhere to be found.
Over the years,Fortnitehas been adding characters from more mature franchises to its item shop, so it seems unlikely that the themes ofThe Boysare the reason a crossover not occurred.Invincibleis already a mature show in its own right, even if not on the sameultra-violent scale asThe Boys.
There are now 24Invincible-related cosmetics and items inFortnite.
The Boys Offers a Treasure Trove of Great Possible Skins and Items
Between skins based onQueen Maeve and Soldier Boyand an emote inspired by Homelander drinking a glass of milk, there are plenty of ways thatThe Boyscould appear inFortnite, and its absence feels like a big missed opportunity. The fifth season ofThe Boysis planned to be the final one for the series, soFortniteis running out of time to make a collaboration happen while the show is at its peak.
Of course, there’s no way to fully know why such a crossover has yet to happen. There could be legal hurdles, or Epic Games simply may not be interested in the franchise. It’s not likeFortniteis lacking in crossovers, but a series likeThe Boyslooks like a perfect fit, at least from the outside. Epic Games has continued to bring a lot of popular comic-based brands toFortnite, so, hopefully,The Boyswill eventually join that growing list.

There is Still Time For The Boys to Come to Fortnite
It’s highly possible thatFortnitecould simply be waiting forThe Boys' final seasonto arrive. With the series coming to an end, finally including its characters in aFortnitecrossover could be a great send-off for fans. This remains to be seen, but it’s definitely not outside the realm of possibility. Even thoughThe Boyswould be an exciting crossover for a lot of players, it may never come to pass. Hope still remains, of course, and there is at least greatInvinciblecontent to revel in until a potential collaboration withThe Boysbecomes reality.
