Fortnite is gearing up for a major new game mode in collaboration with Warner Bros., codenamed "Pimlico."
Content creators, including Pack A Puncher and others, were recently invited to Epic Games HQ to playtest it, confirming it's nearly ready.
Leakers report that Warner Bros had direct involvement, and an official announcement is expected soon (likely during the v36.10 or v36.20 update).
Earlier leaks provide clues on what to expect:
- A massive mode featuring multiple Warner Bros. characters (possibly from Looney Tunes, Space Jam, DC, or others), each with unique abilities.
- New mechanics like "tackling," revamped physics, and ranked seasons.
- Strong speculation points to a basketball-themed mode tied to Space Jam or similar WB IPs.
This follows Warner Bros.' shift toward more Fortnite collabs after shutting down MultiVersus earlier in 2025, leading to skins like Batman, Harley Quinn, Lara Croft (Tomb Raider), Mortal Kombat, and Adventure Time.
Recent WB-related Fortnite events include Harry Potter and a "Weapons" horror film tie-in.
Historically, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment published physical Fortnite copies for consoles. Stay tuned for the reveal—it's generating a lot of buzz right now!
