The online shooter Fortnite is known for collaborating with major pop culture brands like Star Wars or Dragon Ball; they bring skins and even game modes from these worlds into the shooter. Now insiders and dataminers report that a collaboration with the shooter Destiny 2 is set for the week starting August 22. Images of 3 skins with a Fortnite look that are supposed to come to Destiny 2 are circulating. The Titan is getting a skin that Fortnite players would do a lot for.
Is this confirmed? No, this is not officially confirmed. However, several insiders, dataminers, and leakers have researched and confirmed it.
The leak originated last night, August 20, at 11:30 PM German time. Ginsor shared the image of 3 skins that are supposed to come to Destiny on Twitter. Since then, these skins have been circulating (via twitter).
Ginsor is a dataminer specializing in Destiny 2.
The last collaboration in Fortnite caused quite a stir:
Today, on Sunday, Fortnite leakers also confirmed this collaboration. Mida tweeted:
Can confirm now. The collab coming this week is Destiny.

These could be the 3 new Fortnite skins in Destiny
What do the skins look like in Destiny 2?
Three skins have been leaked that are apparently supposed to come to Destiny 2 via the Eververse, the cash shop:
The Titan’s skin references a famous skin in Fortnite that was available in Season 2: The “Black Knight” – many Fortnite players would give a lot for this skin.
The other two skins are references to Omega (Hunter) and Drift (Warlock), also iconic skins from Fortnite’s past.
What is the deal with these collaborations? Fortnite is known for collaborating with major pop culture brands. This allows players to walk around in Fortnite as Stormtroopers from Star Wars, as football players, basketball players, or Marvel superheroes.
Sometimes, Fortnite goes a step further and introduces a special mode based on the other game into Fortnite itself: There have already been Star Wars modes or a strong Borderlands influence.
Some consider Fortnite to be an attempt to create the “metaverse”: a place where many culturally significant brands intersect.
What is the question now? Now that we know what the skins are like that are coming to Destiny 2 and bring the Fortnite flair, the question has arisen: Which skins are coming to Fortnite? Destiny 2 doesn’t really have a main character – that is actually the player. Are they bringing Cayde-6 or Zavala?
Additionally, the idea is circulating that Destiny 2 might come to the Epic Game Store.
How is this being discussed? Players of Destiny 2 view players of Fortnite critically. On Twitter, one person says they find it terrible that people walk around in Fortnite with a character like Cayde-6 without having any idea who that is.
Generally, however, Destiny players find the new skins quite impressive.

Fortnite and Destiny don’t have much to do with each other, but on a meta level, their paths crossed in 2018:
