Great Scott! Marty McFly and the DeLorean Are Seemingly Time-Traveling into Fortnite!

Alright, folks, buckle up because it looks like Fortnite is about to take us on an epic trip through time! The rumor mill has been churning, and now, thanks to a rather blatant new teaser, it seems almost certain that none other than Marty McFly and his legendary DeLorean time machine are gearing up for a grand entrance into the battle royale island. If you've ever dreamt of doing the worm emote next to a souped-up time-traveling car, well, your very specific dream might just come true!

The whole internet went a little wild when Fortnite dropped a mysterious video on X (formerly Twitter). It wasn't just any old clip; this one featured that instantly recognizable clock tower from Back to the Future – you know, the one with the lightning bolt and the precarious wires? Classic stuff! As the camera pans down, there it is: the sleek, shiny, utterly iconic DeLorean, sitting there, just waiting to hit 88 miles per hour. And, get this, you can also spot a character who, let's be real, is undeniably modeled after Marty McFly himself. I mean, c'mon, the hair, the vest – it’s a dead giveaway!

The teaser also flashes a date and time: October 26th at 10 AM ET. So, it's not a question of if it's happening, but when we'll get the full reveal of this incredible crossover. This timing is, of course, right in the thick of Fortnite's annual "Fortnitemares" event, which always brings a fantastic array of spooky and surprising collaborations. We’ve seen everyone from Ghostbusters to Alan Wake and even Jack Skellington join the party, but a Back to the Future mashup? That just feels extra special, doesn't it?

Imagine the possibilities! We're talking Marty McFly character skins, maybe even Doc Brown, Biff, or perhaps some of those futuristic outfits from Part II. And that DeLorean? Whether it's a vehicle skin, a special traversal item, or just a cool emote, you can bet players are going to be clamoring to get their hands on it. It’s a brilliant move, especially with Fortnite recently tapping into player nostalgia by bringing back its original map and weapons for a limited time. A Back to the Future collaboration fits that "classic but still cool" vibe perfectly.

So, clear your calendars for October 26th. It looks like we're all about to experience some heavy stuff, just like Marty said. This isn't just another collaboration; it’s a moment that truly bridges generations of pop culture, bringing one of cinema's most beloved time travelers right into the heart of gaming's biggest battleground. Can you hear the "Power of Love" playing in the distance? I sure can!
