The announcement has generated unprecedented excitement among the gaming community. Epic Games’ social media post revealing the collaboration has become the most-liked post in Fortnite’s history on X, surpassing all previous major crossover announcements. The post has accumulated over 312,000 likes and garnered more than 18 million impressions.
This record-breaking engagement significantly outperforms previous major franchise partnerships. The Dragon Ball Z crossover announcement, previously the most-liked post, reached 282,000–283,000 likes. Other notable collaborations—including Naruto (214,000 likes) and Avengers: Infinity War (212,000 likes from 2018)—also fell short of the FNAF announcement’s reach.
