"When Fortnite dropped its Simpsons mini-season earlier this month, dataminers discovered evidence that a SpongeBob collaboration was also on the horizon. Now, reports suggest Fortnite's plans with Paramount go beyond just SpongeBob, with "many" other Paramount franchises lined up for the battle royale game. Alongside the Simpsons season launch on November 1, Epic introduced the new Sidekicks feature to Fortnite--small pet or minion creatures that follow players around."
"There's no information yet on the characters or series that might be included, but Paramount has a huge roster of popular franchises, with its portfolio including both Nickelodeon and Comedy Central. Some of its biggest series include SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, South Park, Dora the Explorer, and Paw Patrol--though it seems unlikely that the franchises aimed at younger kids will be added to a video game like Fortnite."
Fortnite added a Simpsons mini-season and the new Sidekicks feature — small pets or minions that follow players. Dataminers found evidence of a SpongeBob collaboration, and leaks suggest "many" Paramount-owned characters could arrive as Sidekicks. Paramount's portfolio includes SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, South Park, Dora the Explorer, and Paw Patrol, though preschool franchises seem unlikely for Fortnite. Fans hope for a full Sonic skin after Rocket League–focused Sonic cosmetics earlier this year. Fortnite's Simpsons mini-season significantly increased new and returning players and raised the game's average player count through most of 2025.
