Fortnite's Season 2 of Chapter 5 is quickly coming to a close, and the rumors circulating about what Season 3 will hold have been ramping up. It only took a few days after Season 2's launch for some players to begin speculating about what Fortnite has in store for the future, and thanks to a leak claiming to reveal the game's 2024 roadmap, there may be a clear plan set in place.

Recently, a leak claimed to reveal Fortnite's plans for 2024. Although leaks should be taken with a grain of salt, this possible roadmap has actually predicted some things that have come to pass, like Fortnite Festival bringing musician Billie Eilish into the game. There is an extensive list of content that has yet to be proven as true or false, but one of the most intriguing crossovers claimed from the leak is a collaboration with the Mad Max franchise.

Mad Max Could Be Coming To Fortnite

A crossover is exciting enough, but the leak claims that Fortnite's Season 3 could actually be themed around Mad Max. This may seem too good to be true, but there is actually some weight to these rumors. Thanks to potential hints from The Oracle at the beginning of Season 2, there has been a lot of speculation about Season 3 being apocalypse themed, which could very well be setting the stage for the Mad Max franchise to make a grand entrance.

The Timing of Chapter 5 Season 3

It was recently confirmed that Chapter 5 Season 2 will end on May 24. It feels like Season 2 has just started, but it will be exciting to see where the next phase of Chapter 5 takes players. One of the most intriguing aspects of this date is that the timing actually lines up perfectly for a Mad Max crossover.

Furiosa, the upcoming Mad Max spin-off starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth, is also set to release in theaters on May 24. This could very well just be a coincidence, but the time is almost a little too perfect when looking at the leaked roadmap. As players prepare for Fortnite's Season 3, there may be a desert wasteland waiting on the horizon. Dialogue from The Oracle found in the map's Scrying Pools kickstarted this apocalyptic wasteland theory, as she warns players about a future filled with black skies and choking dust. For those unfamiliar with the world of Mad Max, this falls in line with the franchise's polluted desert wasteland.

What a Fortnite Crossover With Mad Max Could Look Like

As of now, there has not been any official news confirming or denying these rumors, but there have at least been more Fortnite leaks claiming a post-apocalyptic setting is imminent. Despite this crossover just being speculation, if this theory proves to be true, there could be a variety of exciting things to expect from a Mad Max crossover.

• Character skins, like Max variants, Furiosa, Nux, and even the Doof Warrior
• Potential vehicle skins for Rocket Racing
• Fortnite Festival adding "We Don't Need Another Hero" by Tina Turner from Beyond the Thunderdome

As May 24 draws closer, it will quickly become more apparent if any features from the above wish list may actually make it into the game. Mad Max is a lot darker than most crossovers that Fortnite features, but the release of Furiosa and the launch of Season 3 being on the same date may not just be mere coincidence.
