Fortnite is currently in the midst of a surprise crossover event with upcoming looter shooter Borderlands 3, but that hasn`t stopped Epic`s popular battle royale from teasing yet another pop culture crossover. It Chapter 2 is just one day away from hitting cinema screens, and antagonist Pennywise might soon be appearing in Fortnite to strike fear into players in a similar fashion to the sight of an approaching B.R.U.T.E. mech.Multiple Reddit users have reported seeing mysterious red balloons all over the game`s map, from Salty Springs to Pleasant Park. These balloons are attached to storm drains in case the hint wasn`t already obvious enough, and they emit a creepy laugh if you interact with them. All of these elements are, of course, synonymous with It and Pennywise. With the movie set to release on September 6, a Fortnite crossover event is likely to coincide with its theatrical debut. What this might entail remains to be seen, however, as Fortnite`s collaborations tend to vary in breadth.The current Borderlands crossover event is fairly comprehensive, featuring a new Rift Zone based on the planet of Pandora, as well as themed challenges, Borderlands flavored rewards, and The Psycho Bundle. In the past we`ve also seen Thanos from the final Avengers movies appear in the game with his own limited-time mode, a Fortnite x Stranger Things crossover event, and John Wick featured as a skin. Whether Pennywise will be a skin or part of something much bigger is up for debate. Fortunately, we won`t have to wait 27 years to find out.If you`re interested in It Chapter 2, GameSpot has you covered in our review for the upcoming horror flick. With an incredible ensemble cast and a handful of genuinely terrifying and subtle scares, Meg Downey says it`s fun as hell to watch these characters come together to face down a terrifying clown monster.
