The speculation surrounding the Fortnite x Doctor Who crossover event has started to pick up steam once more, with leakers and dataminers discovering new references to the upcoming event.
These claims were first said to have been circulating about a year ago when the Fortnite leaker’s Twitter account @FNBRintel stated that a partnership with Doctor Who was in the works. Following this, fellow Fortnite Twitter accounts, such as @ShiinaBR, confirmed the rumor.
When asked about the collaboration, FNBRintel said it was “several months away.” Despite this, it is anticipated that the event will be used to mark the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who, which debuted on television in November 1963.
Another well-known Fortnite leaker, iFireMonkey, shared a recently discovered event titled “U.N.I.T Tardis Alert.” The Unified Intelligence Taskforce is a fictitious military organization in the Whoniverses. U.N.I.T. refers to this organization. On the other hand, Doctor Who’s time machine is called the Tardis.
Also; this is most likely planned for November since things like Beep the Meep have a lot of relevance towards the 60th anniversary specials for Doctor Who

Concerning the possible components of the event, Doctor Who has battled many unique foes throughout its run, and these adversaries would be a wonderful fit for Fortnite. Examples of these enemies are the Daleks, Cybermen, and Weeping Angels.
David Tennant, who is widely considered one of the best actors ever to play the role of Doctor Who will return to the series for three one-off episodes later this year. In addition, Catherine Tate will return to her role as Donna Noble when the show returns.
Epic Games must still provide an official remark regarding a possible crossover between Fortnite and Doctor Who.
You can play Fortnite on consoles such as the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch, as well as mobile platforms such as iOS, Android, and macOS and desktop operating systems such as Microsoft Windows.
