The Cars collaboration could greatly enhance Fortnite’s vehicle gameplay, bringing unique customization options, new racing mechanics, and more exciting racing experiences.

It’s also part of Disney’s $1.5 billion investment in Epic Games, which has already introduced The Incredibles, Disney Villains, and various Marvel characters. This partnership hints that more Disney properties could be making their way into Fortnite down the line.

New Characters


The leaked characters from Disney’s Pixar that will possibly join the Fortnite roster are:

  • Lightning McQueen: The star racer from Radiator Springs
  • Tow Mater: Everyone’s favorite rusty tow truck

Both characters will be available as vehicle skins, letting you transform your car into these beloved characters.

New Racing Maps


The collaboration will introduce four new “Thunder” racing maps, including:

  • Radiator Springs: The iconic small town from the movies
  • Willy’s Butte: The challenging dirt track where Lightning trained

These new locations will give you fresh territory to master your racing skills.

Unlike typical Fortnite collaborations that focus on character skins, this one puts vehicles in the spotlight. You’ll be able to:

  • Transform regular cars into Cars characters
  • Use them in both Battle Royale and Rocket Racing modes
  • Possibly customize your vehicles with unique features

The Cars collaboration fits well with Fortnite’s Rocket Racing mode, especially since Lightning McQueen is already a fan-favorite in Rocket League, and Tow Mater will join both Fortnite and Rocket League at the same time.

This crossover could give Rocket Racing a boost in popularity, drawing in fans of both games to enjoy the high-speed action.

While there’s no official release date yet, the collaboration is expected to launch “soon.” Given that previous leaks from SamLeakss have proven accurate (like the McLaren Senna prediction), this crossover seems highly likely. Get ready to experience Fortnite’s vehicle gameplay in a whole new way!
