At this point, it's hard to think of a franchise which Fortnite hasn't crossed over with. God of War, Halo, Predator, Star Wars on numerous occasions; Even English football team West Ham are playable, and that's not a sentence we ever expected to write.
Epic Games has kept itself busy with these collaborations, so it should come as little shock that The Terminator is next. Announced yesterday via their official website, Sarah Conner and the iconic T-800 are now live in the item shop, bringing us a "Future War Set" of items with them.
As part of this, Epic released this statement:
Give me your Back Bling, your Outfit, and your Pickaxe.
It doesn’t matter if they’re coming from 1984 or 2029, the legendary Sarah Connor and relentless T-800 are the latest hunters to join the hunt and are available today in the Future War Set — now available in the Item Shop.With experience handling incoming storms, Sarah Connor’s Outfit comes with two ready-for-battle variants.
Finish her look with the T-800 Endoskeleton Arm Back Bling and Combat Knife.If you’re more machine than man, the T-800 features a neural-net processor err… built-in Emote, and you can also purchase the HK Sky Net Uplink Back Bling and Techno-Grip Axe. The future is in your hands!
Given how Terminator: Dark Fate launched in 2019, its almost surprising this didn't arrive sooner, but we're sure that series fans will be interested to see the pair in action.

Sarah Conner is a seriously underrated action hero.
Based on continuing releases and many close together everything remotely popular and well known is coming to fortnite.
I don't play this game but credit to Fortnite for trying to appeal to every possible market. If I was into that game I'd have bought so many skins by now.
@jump no she isn't - everybody rates her incredibly highly - see also Ripley.
Just need a T-1000 skin and then you never have buy a skin again.
@Lordplops She's largely overshadowed by Arnie in the franchise despite being the protagonist though, the next two Terminator films after T2 didn't even feel the need to have her in them.
T2 is the most badass TM movie ever and you guys know it.
I feel like these crossovers in Fortnite are getting out of hand. Is that just me?
@Yosher what do you mean out of hand?
@Yosher Agreed
Ok this is not random anymore for Fortnite...but seriously they're really pushing it and it's annoying. But the robot is a nice skin, or alien robot I should say.
Guys I won't be surprised if they do a P5 crossover...since that game is getting a lot of crossovers.
Sara Conner? I’d rather had Rickey Mouse or Ronald Duck skins instead.
Just like the Predator skin, will anyone who plays fortnite actually know who these people are? Arent they too young
Oh Terminator what happened to you? You started out so cool then went to hell yes awesome then slowly got worse and worse. I actually liked T3 except for the recasting of John Conner and the off screen killing of Sarah Conner. Salvation sucked hard without arnie and then there's the last two. Genysis had a few neat parts but a bat crap crazy plot. Having arnie back made it a little easier to stomach but oh man Dark fate wrecked it! Nevermind the obvious woke agenda throughout but this one was clearly misguided. It was cool seeing old granny Conner. Arnie just didn't seem into it at all. When he said in the movie "i won't be back" i think he meant it. This franchise is officially a corpse.
@iulis84 I thought Dark Fate was brilliant up until Arnie pops up and the tone of the movie changes too much. I understand people not liking John dying but to me he was always a McGuffin to the plot.
I don't really care about fortnite, but I do kinda still hope samus gets in the game, because then people other than me might buy metriod prime 4
it needs G.@ Joe for Christs sake. it was made for it.
@jump overshadowed by Arnie? She holds her own in both films. The second especially is a revelation of her change. I think you are the one under-rating her.
Terminator, the only film franchise that tried to kickstart a new trilogy 3 times (Salvation, Genesisy thingy, Dark Fate) and failed 3 times in a row.
Instead, we have a trilogy of failed trilogy kickstarters.
@Lordplops If you look at both movie posters for the first two films they are solely of Arnie. I never said said she wasn't well received but she's clearly not billed as the action hero of the franchise.
Connor not Conner!
@AlienigenX yeah that’s some professional grade typo here.
This is how they milk people for so much money. Epic games gets deals with any piece of pop culture they can.
I can't say I really blame these companies for agreeing. All they have to do basically is say "yes" and then they get some cash for basically nothing. And Epic Games gets to leech popularity from more people's creative works.
And kids these days are just growing up being trained to think of this as normal.
I don't think Sarah Conner can fight a Terminator. Maybe a fighting-mad Roseanne Conner. Or maybe Sarah Connor.
Sarah Conner = supporting character in the TV show "Roseanne"
Sarah Connor = bad-ass Terminator terminator
Since Dark Fate, any time the Terminator franchise comes up, all I can think about is that kids in the Simpsons crying, "Stop, he's already dead!"
