A new Fortnite Game of Thrones collab leak is making the rounds, with multiple well-known leakers claiming Epic Games is preparing a crossover with HBO’s fantasy juggernaut. If accurate, it would mark the first time Westeros officially enters Fortnite, despite years of crossovers with major film, TV, anime, and gaming franchises.

As always with leaks, nothing has been confirmed by Epic Games. But the fact that several trusted sources are saying the same thing has definitely caught the community’s attention.

Multiple Leakers Claim Fortnite X Game Of Thrones Is In Development

According to leakers Shiina, HYPEX, and AdiraFNInfo on X, a Game of Thrones collaboration is currently in development for Fortnite. The claim has been shared across multiple accounts, which has added weight to the rumour.

HYPEX, in particular, has a long track record of accurate Fortnite leaks, including past collaborations that were later officially revealed. AdiraFNInfo also stated that the crossover is expected to arrive “soon”, although no specific release window has been provided.

Importantly, there are still no official details about what the crossover would include. No skins, items, or in-game features have been confirmed at this stage.

Why The Timing Makes Sense

While this is still unverified, the timing lines up with renewed interest in the Game of Thrones universe. HBO recently expanded the franchise with spin-offs such as House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, keeping the world of Westeros firmly in pop culture conversations.

Fortnite has a clear history of aligning collaborations with major entertainment releases. In the past, Epic has rolled out crossovers to coincide with movie launches, series premieres, and trending franchises. With the Game of Thrones brand experiencing another surge in attention, the move would feel consistent with Fortnite’s strategy.

It is also worth noting that Fortnite has collaborated with a wide range of properties recently, including The Simpsons, South Park, Kill Bill, Back to the Future, The Office, and Overwatch. If the leak is accurate, Westeros would simply be the next major universe to join the Island.

What Characters Could Appear?

Because no official information has been shared, fans have already started building their wish lists.

Jon Snow is one of the most requested additions, alongside Daenerys Targaryen and Arya Stark. Tyrion Lannister has also been mentioned frequently in community discussions. Some players are even hoping for dragons as gliders, which would fit perfectly with Fortnite’s cosmetic style.

Interestingly, some fans have suggested Egg, also known as Aegon Targaryen from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, as a possible Sidekick-style addition. That would tie the collaboration more closely to the franchise’s newer material rather than just the original HBO series.

Whether Epic would focus on the original Game of Thrones cast, the spin-offs, or a mix of both remains unknown.

Epic Games Has Not Confirmed Anything Yet

At the time of writing, Epic Games has not announced a Fortnite Game of Thrones collaboration. There are no teasers in-game, no official blog posts, and no social media hints from the company itself.

That means this remains firmly in the rumour category. Fortnite leaks have proven accurate many times before, but plans can also change during development. Until Epic makes it official, players should treat the news as speculative.

Still, with several reliable leakers aligning on the same claim, this is one rumour that feels more substantial than most. If it does happen, Fortnite heading to Westeros could easily become one of its biggest pop culture crossovers yet.

And if dragons really do arrive on the Island, you already know the skyboxes are about to get a whole lot more dramatic.

A genre defining cinematic video game from Naughty Dog has been adapted in to a gripping series; The Last of Us.

From the beginning of a global pandemic to the survival of main characters, Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) the Warner Bros. series goes further in depth than the game was able to do with both the protagonists backgrounds, loves and losses as well as iconic NPCs, Tess, Frank, Bill and more.

The series also takes us further back to how it all began. A fungal infection that had only previously been a killer in the insect world, has mutated to humans.

Called Ophiocordyceps, the fungus is spread in two ways.

From a bite of an infected or by inhaling it’s spores.

Just as it does with critters it eats the person from inside, growing internally, consuming and replacing all soft organs turning the infected in to zombies.

The fungus’ main goal is to reproduce to a new host and controls its human body with feral ferocity in its search for a fresh human.

Players of 2013’s The Last of Us video game, exclusive to PlayStation, will recognise iconic moments and scenes recreated for live action.

The Last of Us series is not another zombie story. It’s something very different, and with recent worldwide events also has an element of reality.

Myself a fan of both games, I watched the series with a somewhat critical view., and loved it.

Whether you played the game, a fan of the game or neither The Last of Us is one of the best series to stream right now on HBO.

What happens when you put a bunch of people on a island, inviting them to an exclusive restaurant experience?

Oh yeah, and did I forget to mention the head chef is also crazy, having recruited a team of brainwashed workers to support him too?

Mark Mylod’s The Menu leaves you guessing for quite some time as to what shock factor or disturbing piece of information will be revealed to give the film its thriller / horror name. Although it leaves you with this uneasy feeling for quite some time, its not until stalker photographs of each individual attendee end up being laser printed on their tortillas that things start to heat up, literally.

Yes, you read that correctly.

The first ‘wtf’ moment comes about 40 minutes into the film and leaves you wanting to know more when the film refuses to give it to you, putting you in the shoes of its attendees and trying to convince yourself its either ‘theatre’ or these people need to gap it as soon as possible.

Ralph Fiennes, Nicholas Hoult and Anya Taylor-Joy lead the cast of well known actors, with even supporting actors having familiar faces. Clearly the source material attracted the pool of actors, jumping on board the thrill of taking its audience down eccentric and unique storytelling.

Although, The Menu leaves you questioning it’s ‘big reveal’ for quite sometime, I do wonder if it relied too heavily on this in order to keep viewers on board throughout the film.

A part from questions you need to know the answer to, the film doesn’t have a lot of substance to fall back on, making you question whether or not it’s worth a higher rating or not.

New Cadence Productions (NCP), which recently announced a 10 Episode order for its reboot of the hit series “The Brothers Garcia,” now called “The Garcias,” announced today that HBO Max will stream the HA Comedy Festival, for a second year.

The festival takes place in the historic Riverwalk Area of San Antonio, TX this September (2021).

The first annual Festival occurred in February of 2020, over three days in five venues with 21 shows and 46 comedians.

It was and remains the largest showcase of Latino comedic talent in the world. The prerecorded live finale of the first festival, hosted by comedian Anjelah Johnson and featuring celebrities Eva Longoria, Eugenio Derbez, and Danny Trejo, streamed on HBO Max in August of 2020 to rave reviews and a won a recent NAMIC award beating out the Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air Reunion and several others.

Jeff Valdez, creator of the festival and NCP co-founder, states: “I am pleased that HBO Max believes in the future of this festival by ordering a second special. The first year, although challenging, yielded fantastic results, such as a staggering 93M Digital Impressions, and a viral 24M Views on HBO Max’s TikTok account.”

Sol Trujillo, co-founder of NCP, says: “The New Mainstream Audience, largely driven by the Latino Cohort, is very important to the entertainment and news media sector of our economy. We look forward to successive years of bringing this festival to the public and are thrilled that HBO Max understands that and is supporting it. We are also pleased that HBO Max is partnering with us and that our title sponsor AT&T, like us, recognizes the value of this audience.”

The HA Comedy Festival is more than just a comedy festival; it is a strategic infrastructure that will support New Cadence Productions’ efforts in creating content to help fill the void in the entertainment media pipeline. NCP likes to describe the HA festival as their strategic farm team, as many of the comics from last year’s festival will now appear on upcoming “The Garcias,” series as guest stars.

With this sophomore edition of the HA Festival, the world renown historic comedy improv enterprise – The Second City – will join in bringing talent from their historic Chicago base to the San Antonio gathering and feature their talent on the “Second City Stage.”

“Second City is proud to support the HA Festival and amplifying more Latinx voices, which makes us all better, stronger, and more interesting,” adds Jon Carr, executive producer at The Second City.  “Our organization is committed to inclusion on our stages and in every aspect of our business.  To be part of The HA Festival is a natural for us, and it’s going to be so much fun.

HA 2021, will also be the home for the maiden voyage of the “The Equal Footing Film Festival”, celebrating films made 100% by underserved women, bringing together the best emerging female talent in the world. “We want to give under-represented voices an equal footing in the entertainment industry.  With these talented female filmmakers and comedians coming together we are looking forward to experiencing magic,” said Equal Footing founders, Lana Inderman and Anna Sarkisian.

“Our city is looking forward to The HA Festival, the premier Latinx comedy event in the nation, bringing three days of laughs and fun to downtown San Antonio this September,” said San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg. “We are excited to welcome the festival back once again. In fact, San Antonio would be the prefect permanent home for this groundbreaking event.”   

The Festival is currently booking all of its shows for the 2021 edition, which this year will include the aforementioned Second City Stage and The Equal Footing Film Festival; Fresh Faces, a stage featuring unknown comedians; The Original OG’s, featuring many headliner comics that we have come to know and love; One Man and One Woman shows; Comedy Chingonas, an all-female Latina show, and of course, the Finale pre-recorded special which will stream on HBO Max from San Antonio, TX.
