Season 5 of Fortnite sports a resemblance to Helldivers 2, as it introduces enemies to battle, air strikes to be executed meticulously, and a remarkably democratic dance move. However, there's reportedly no collaboration hinted, as per the leak.
The latest season of Fortnite, Chapter 6 Season 4, has begun, and players are buzzing with excitement. The theme of this season, "Shock 'N Awesome," introduces a new enemy: alien-like bugs that resemble the Terminids from Helldivers 2.
Despite the strong resemblance and thematic overlaps, there is currently no confirmed collaboration between Fortnite and Helldivers 2 for Season 4. Fan speculation and leaks have been rampant, but no official announcements or teasers from Epic Games or Arrowhead Studios have been made.
Prominent Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR shared his thoughts, stating, "Everything about this season screams Helldivers collab," but also emphasized that "there’s literally no sign of it anywhere." Arrowhead Studios' CEO, similarly, acknowledged the thematic similarity but did not indicate an actual collaboration, mentioning it "feels very democratic" - a nod to Helldivers lore - but has no direct link to Fortnite.
In this season, players will face three different sizes of bugs: Swarmers, Bombers, and Queens. The Swarmers, Bombers, and Queens in Fortnite resemble the Terminids, Hunters, and Chargers from Helldivers 2, respectively.
The Island in Fortnite is filled with goopy nests and egg sacs from the bugs. A new precision air strike can be launched against enemies, adding a strategic element to the battle.
Shiina also shared a battle pass emote that depicts a salute to the flag of the O.X.R., the Island's anti-bug military defense force in Fortnite Season 4.
The new season unveiled on August 6, 2025, and is set to run until November 1, 2025. As of now, no specific details about new weapons in Fortnite Season 4 have been provided, other than those mentioned.
While the thematic and visual parallels are striking, the current information confirms there is no verified Helldivers 2 x Fortnite collaboration for Season 4. Fans will have to wait for official updates from Epic Games and Arrowhead Studios to confirm any potential crossover.
