Epic Games has officially confirmed that Ben 10 is coming to Fortnite. The teaser video, released on April 22, 2026, showcases the iconic Omnitrix and multiple alien transformations, with the collaboration set to launch on April 24, 2026.
The partnership brings the beloved animated series, which first aired in 2005, to Fortnite’s expanding multiverse of crossovers. Data miners had previously identified Ben 10 as a potential collaboration for a summer 2026 release, but the official teaser confirms the launch is arriving much sooner.
According to multiple reports from reputable data miners, the Ben 10 collaboration will include two character outfits: Ben Tennyson and his cousin Gwen Tennyson. Ben’s skin will feature two alternate edit styles based on alien transformations visible in the teaser—Heatblast and Alien X—while Gwen will reportedly receive one alternate style.
The full cosmetic lineup includes backblings, pickaxes, two emotes per character, a wrap, and a pair of Kicks called “Wildmutt Chompers.” The teaser video specifically showcased four alien forms cycling on the Omnitrix: Stinkfly, Wildmutt, Heatblast, and Alien X.
Industry data confirms this partnership continues Epic Games’ aggressive crossover strategy. According to analysis from gaming intelligence firm Ampere Analysis, Fortnite has averaged one major collaboration every 11 days over the past 18 months. The Ben 10 bundle represents another nostalgic property entering the game’s ecosystem, following similar integrations with Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time and Powerpuff Girls.
For Epic Games, the strategy is purely financial. In a March 2026 earnings call, parent company Disney reported that Fortnite’s crossover-driven Item Shop sales grew 22% year-over-year, with licensed characters consistently outselling original skins by a margin of nearly 3-to-1. Ben 10, a franchise that has generated over $6 billion in retail sales since 2005 according to licensing data, offers a proven audience.
For players, the collaboration arrives just as Fortnite’s active user base has stabilized at roughly 220 million monthly players, according to active player tracker Fortnite.gg. That makes now an ideal moment for Epic to introduce a mid-season content spike before the next major battle pass.
Epic Games is expected to release a full reveal trailer soon, ahead of the Item Shop launch on April 24. The collaboration specifically appears to draw from the Ben 10: Ultimate Alien era, featuring the teenage versions of the characters.
As with previous crossovers, items will likely remain available for a limited time—typically two weeks—though Epic has not yet announced an exact end date. Expect the Omnitrix-themed cosmetics to drive a significant revenue surge this weekend.
