After featuring more characters fromRick and Mortyin the item shop, more Dan Harmon properties andFortnitecollaborations could be on the horizon. ThroughoutFortnite’sfive-year tenure, there have been a significant number of pop culture crossovers with one of the most recent collaborations featuringRick and Morty. With each passing season, the show seems to become more popular, leading to crossovers with fast-food chains and its addition to the battle pass for Chapter 2 Season 7 back in August 2021.Rick and Mortyis not the only property that Harmon has popularized, however, asCommunityandHarmonQuesthave cult followings of their own. Tapping Harmon for thisRick and Mortycollaboration not only allows for more skins but should lead to more locations as well.
Dan Harmon is partially responsible for creatingRick and Morty, and has written for and produced a lot of different properties, most notablyCommunity,HarmonQuest, andMonster House. Although each franchise takes place in different settings, they all uniquely pay homage to video games.Communityhas had its fair share of involvement with gaming. From Abed and Troy referencing their love for video games during an 8-bit gaming storyline inCommunityseason 3, episode 20, “Digital Estate Planning.“Monster Housefeatures an iconic arcade scene, where the GameZone bully ‘Skull’ steals candy from DJ and his friends.HarmonQuest, which films in live-action and animation, takes inspiration fromDungeons & Dragons, no doubt fitting right in withFortnite’sart design.

Dan Harmon’s Properties Would Work Well In A Video Game Setting
Fortnitehas no problem working with repeat collaborators. TheJohn WickFranchise,Marvel, andDC Comicshave all contributed multiple characters from their catalogs to appear withinFortnite. Not only wereRick and Mortycosmetics added to the battle pass, but they also featured heavily in the promotion of Chapter 2 Season 7, which is surely a sign of Epic Games' love for the Harmon property. Hopefully, this opens up the possibility of more collaborations betweenFortniteand Harmon, As recently as October 18th, 2021,Queen Summer and Mr. Meeseekswere both added as skins to the item shop. The additions don’t have to end at cosmetic skins, though, as each Dan Harmon takes place in vastly different settings that could serve as in-game locations.
The majority of Harmon’s properties are very video game-friendly, often taking inspiration from the genre as a whole.Communityis full of references to media in pop culture, which would make additing of Troy & Abed or the entirety of Greendale’s campus to the battle royale, a match made in heaven.HarmonQuestleans heavily into fantasy, and adding Fondue Zoobag to the item shop, played byDan Harmonhimself, would be a treat for sure.
The recent update of the island has includedFortnitemares, where theMonster Housewould make for a great addition to Greasy Grove or Grim Gables, seeing that Halloween is right around the corner.Fortniteannually provides holiday-themed locations and weapons for the island, so leaning intoMonster Housewould’ve made sense around now.
Any of these Dan Harmon properties would make for a fresh set of skins for players to enjoy, seeing that there is a shared target audience.Fortnitehas only gotten more popular over the years, leading to more properties collaborating with it, so partnering with Harmon again would offer a nice change of pace. Crossovers are a big part of what madeFortnitestand out, an additional Dan Harmon crossover would be ripe with possibility.
Fortniteis available now for Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
