A well-known leaker claims that a Fortnite Indiana Jones collaboration is on the way, and that it will arrive as part of Chapter 3 Season 3. This revelation coincides with Epic Games’ recent Fortnite Star Wars leak, in which the same leaker suggested Darth Vader would be a boss character. Yes, Indiana Jones is capable of defeating Darth Vader.
Once again, Fortnite proves that the battle royale game is really just Epic Games trying to recreate The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. Last week, the developer ‘accidentally’ leaked filenames for possible Fortnite collaborations in the Unreal Engine 5 livestream – including two characters specifically for Season 3, “Vader” and “Jones”.
According to leaker Tabor Hill, Darth Vader will likely be on the Fortnite map as an NPC boss – just like The Mandalorian in the first Fortnite Star Wars crossover in Chapter 2 Season 5. However, the “Jones” skin was theorised by leakers to be Fortnite’s own Agent Jones or Jonesy, but Tabor Hill says this is actually a different Lucasfilm character – Indiana Jones.
Other than the Lucasfilm connection, it makes a lot of sense that Indiana Jones is a skin in Season 3 since the Indiana Jones 5 movie was supposed to drop around the same time until it was delayed to next year.
Adding further credence to this rumour, Indiana Jones is actually teased – or at least, referenced – in the current Fortnite Chapter 3 map. Slightly northwest of Condo Canyon, there’s a random refrigerator in the middle of the desert, which is likely a nod to the infamous “nuke the fridge” moment in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – especially as it occasionally has a treasure chest by it.
