KANGAROOS, CARTMAN'S MOM & DEXTER'S LAB?! FORTNITE'S ABOUT TO EXPLODE (Literally?)!

By Bronbus Quitley · 2/23/2026

Hold the Phone! Did You HEAR About This?! (Fortnite News, From Your Pal Bronbus!)

Folks, folks, settle down! Bronbus Quitley here, reporting LIVE from… well, my kitchen, but the news is COMING TO YOU, alright? It’s February 23rd, 2026, and let me tell ya, the world of Fortnite is absolutely bouncing right now. Bouncing! Like a kangaroo on a trampoline made of V-Bucks! Speaking of V-Bucks, did you know kangaroos LOVE V-Bucks? It’s a little-known fact. They use ‘em to buy, uh… eucalyptus. Fancy eucalyptus.

Anyway! Fortnite! The big news, and I heard it DIRECTLY from a pigeon who works at Epic Games (don't ask), is COLLABORATIONS! We’re talking Game of Thrones! Can you imagine Jon Snow building a fort? A VERY fortified fort! And Solo Leveling? Honestly, I thought that was a laundry detergent, but apparently it's a… a THING. A cool thing with skin tones and stuff. And get this – Honkai: Star Rail! They’re sending folks over! I heard they're bringing their own gravity. It’s going to be CHAOS. Good chaos, though! Like a perfectly organized, delightful chaos.

And Cartoon Network! The classic Cartoon Network, from 2005! You know, when cartoons were cartoons! Not all this… digital stuff. They had Dexter's Laboratory back then. That kid was a GENIUS. Probably a Fortnite pro if he was around today. Oh, and Overwatch is showing up, too. So many heroes! So little time!

But HOLD ON TO YOUR PICKAXES, because this is the big one. South Park! Yes, SOUTH PARK! And they're not messing around. There’s a “Stick of Truth” mythic item – a MYTHIC item, I tell ya! – and apparently, it’s going to change the game. I heard it can summon Cartman's mom. No, I'm serious! A fully rendered, highly detailed Cartman’s mom! It's… intense.

Oh, and speaking of intense, The Office skins are coming! Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute! Imagine Dwight yelling at you for building a sub-optimal fort. It’s comedy GOLD, people, comedy GOLD!

And listen to this, a new skin just dropped, and it's the most popular skin EVER, in its FIRST WEEK. I tried to get one but I think my internet is powered by hamsters, so… yeah.

They even brought Winterfest back! Remember that? Good times, good times. Cozy cabin, snowballs flying… you can even build a snowman out of opponents! (I may have made that last part up.)

Now, for you serious players – the PROS, the ELITE, the folks who take Fortnite WAY too seriously (no offense!) – I’ve been doing some digging, and apparently, there are TRICKS! Leveling up faster? Building like a pro? Aiming with pinpoint accuracy? It's all there! And get this – people are actually GIFTING V-Buck cards! It’s like digital generosity! My grandma would be proud.

Also, somebody got caught cheating. Badly. They had to publicly apologize! Serves ‘em right! Play fair, people! It’s just a game! (But also, very important.)

Oh, and there was a little hiccup – the game went down for a bit. But it's back up now! Probably due to all the kangaroo traffic from the V-Bucks.

And a final bit of gossip: Disney says they’re not working with Roblox. Apparently, they think Roblox is… too blocky? You heard it here first!

So there you have it! Everything you need to know about the whirlwind that is Fortnite! Bronbus Quitley, signing off! Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go teach my pigeon how to build a fort. It's for… research purposes.
