Fortnite is a gaming title that has earned a reputation for collaborating with some of the most well-known names in the industry. Now, the franchise is planning to bring Avatar: The Last Airbender to their Battle Royale face-off.
This exciting news of the Fortnite and Avatar crossover event was confirmed via a Twitter (X) post by a Fortnite data miner known as iFireMonkey. According to this leak by iFireMonkey, Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 2 will introduce the Avatar’s mid-season event in which players will be able to unlock the Aang’s Skin and additional rewards via a premium track.
But that’s not all; there is a lot more to what we have dug about this upcoming Fortnite Crossover event that will ignite your passion to bend the battle by playing as the Avatar himself. The sources have claimed that this event is expected to bring Aang’s whole gang to Fortnite with some free and exciting awards that can be earned from the challenges.

In another post, the dataminer and Gamespot confirmed straight from Fortnite’s API that the upcoming Fortnite Crossover could be themed on Avatar: The Last Air Bender. This Fortnite and Avatar: The Last Airbender crossover also offers players the opportunity to get Appa Glider without wasting any additional Fortnite v-bucks and Fortnite gift cards. All you have to do is complete the challenge of collecting all six books to get a free Appa Glider.
who are looking to join the Battle Royal as the Last Air Bender Aang will have to purchase the mid-season event pass. Besides Aang’s skin, other skins like Zuko, Toph, Katara, Korra, and Sokka are the most anticipated ones, which are rumored to be part of the game.
The Appa Glider will be much like the Turtle Blimp Glider from the TMNT event and looks to be the final item acquired on the free reward track. The data mined information also disclosed that the event would have a premium reward tracker with more Avatar-themed cosmetics such as skins, backblings, and more.
Besides the characters and gliders, the event is also expected to bring Avatar-themed weapons to the game as well. It would be cool to see how Epic Games infuses the powers of the Air Bender in the Battle Royale.
The speculation of weapons from Avatar: The Last Air Bender is expected to be a part of Fortnite items in the Fortnite shop because Fortnite’s latest crossover with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cowabunga event is something quite similar to how the Avatar and Fortnite crossover event is being introduced. Since the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle’s items and weapons were also featured in the game later, there are chances that we might get to see Aang in action with medieval weapons.
When is the Fortnite and Avatar Crossover Event Expected to Begin?
Fortnite data miner iFireMonkey disclosed that Avatar: The Last Airbender-themed event will be featured during Fortnite’s next season, which begins on March 8. Since the iFireMonkey confirmed that the upcoming Fortnite crossover event will be a “mid-season event pass,” players won’t be able to purchase it with the Battle Pass of Chapter 5 Season 2.
The Avatar X Fortnite mid-season pass will be introduced as a separate pass to purchase in April which will last till May 3, 2024. However, this date is only confirmed from these first few leaks, and Epic Games can possibly change the timeline in future updates. The new Fortnite season features an environment and battleground derived straight from Greek mythology. Although it would be cool to experience the Fortnite and Avatar crossover event that will hype up Chapter 5 for sure.
The next Fortnite and Avatar crossover event is followed by the remake of Avatar: The Last Airbender’s Live-Action by Netflix. We hope that Netflix will present an enhanced version of the Avatar: The Last Airbender’s remake.
The upcoming Fortnite crossover featuring Avatar would bring lots of new players and many old players with OG Fortnite accounts to the game after being hyped by Netflix’s remake edition of the original series. This approach by Netflix seems to gather serious popularity on Rotten Tomatoes, by achieving a score of 75%, which means that viewers are eagerly awaiting to see a better and more realistic version of Air Bending from Avatar.

Fortnite and Avatar crossover would be icing on the cake to fans and we are excited to experience the live action through Battle Royale.
