Fortnite: If Football Comes, Can NBA be Far Behind?

The current season in Fortnite has picked up its pace and is in a really good place right now. Chapter 2 Season 6 has seen a roster of collaborations and crossover events that have boosted the fan community of the game. The addition of the Neymar Jr. skin bundle, along with the soccer quests, has been in the center stage for as long as they have been around. With the arrival of Soccer-themed quests, fans have been wondering whether they will get to see an NBA-themed event in the game anytime soon. As it turns out, it might be a possibility.

Amidst all the talk going around in the community, we now have some pretty solid news about the aforementioned possibility. According to the popular Fortnite data miner and leaker, iFireMonkey, the game will soon be getting an NBA crossover event along with community battles. This one will be part of an official collaboration between Fortnite and the NBA. Players can support one of the 30 NBA teams and lead it to victory by playing the game.

Basically, what players have to do is select one of the 30 NBA teams and complete different in-game Daily Tasks. Completion of these tasks will grant them points for their team.

You can now support your NBA team on Fortnite with community battles!

Based on your placement on the leaderboard at the end of the Community Battles, Fortnite will grant you various rewards. For instance, if your team finishes first on the leaderboard, you will win 500 V-Bucks. The Second and Third positions will earn 300 and 100 V-Bucks, respectively. Furthermore, those who complete at least three daily tasks stand to win a Fortnite spray as a participation reward.

According to these leaks, the event will commence on May 12th and will end on the 16th. Players will be able to register themselves from May 10. Once they have registered, they can begin the completion of the Daily Tasks from the 12th.

Players will need to need to register themselves on a website. However, they might need to hurry with the registration. Although the website supports one million registrations, only 550,000 ones are for fans. The rest are for the members.

Let’s see how this event pans out!
