5 Gaming Crossovers That Would Be Legendary

Occasionally, our beloved video games can intersect in unforeseen manners. The extent of collaboration may range from subtle Easter eggs to guest characters in fighting games, or even the development of an entirely new franchise such as “Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.” Such collaborations between different brands and the blending of popular IPs invigorate and diversify the gaming community.

Some video games maintain their contemporary appeal by teaming up with current Intellectual Properties (IPs) to remain engaging for their player base. Examples like LEGO, Fortnite, Call of Duty, and Fall Guys are quite common in the modern scene due to their collaborations and cross-overs. Here’s a list of potential collaborations between different games that we believe could create a legendary gaming experience if they were to occur.

1) Grand Theft Auto X Fortnite

Instead of waiting until 2026 for the next Grand Theft Auto, why not consider a fascinating alternative where some of the beloved characters from Grand Theft Auto V make their appearance in Fortnite before then? Fortnite has become renowned for its unique skins, which add an exciting layer to both PvE and PvP gameplay. These skins serve as a way for players to showcase their individuality and preferences through collectibles. With numerous popular brands joining the Fortnite universe, the inclusion of characters like Michael, Trevor, and Franklin from Grand Theft Auto V could mark a significant milestone for both franchises in the battle royale genre.

2) Monster Hunter Wilds X God of War

Among all beings, who excels more at slaying beasts and claiming war trophies than the very God of War, Kratos? Across countless legends, Kratos and his companion Atreus have battled mythical creatures like the Nemean Lion, Minotaur, Basilisks, Valkyries, and numerous others. By transforming these epic conflicts into a monster-hunting saga, much like how the Zelda series borrowed elements from Dynasty Warriors, we could embark on an exciting journey for both brands. Additionally, the prospect of gathering resources and components to enhance legendary weapons such as the Blades of Chaos, Leviathan Axe, or Atreus’ Talon Bow would add an engaging layer to this adventure.

3) Red Dead Redemption 2 X The Last of Us

Imagine merging the worlds of “Red Dead Redemption” and “The Last of Us”. Both games captivated us with their intricate storylines, immersive environments, and profound examinations of human nature. The concept of blending the post-apocalyptic zombie outbreak from “The Last of Us” with the western backdrop and ambiance of “Red Dead Redemption” might seem unlikely, but it’s an intriguing idea.

One aspect that drew players to “The Last of Us Part 2” was its expanded open-world elements. However, these didn’t approach the vastness offered by “Red Dead Redemption 2”. Despite Joel and Ellie not belonging to the timeframe for a western, the overall setting and the origins of the zombie apocalypse are concepts that could be adapted.

4) Portal 2 X Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Imagine how exciting it could be if Chell from “Portal 2” joined the roster of “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate”. Her portal gun, with its unique abilities, could add an interesting twist to the game’s special moves and combat mechanics. The portal mechanic has been gaining popularity in independent games recently, but it’s been a while since we’ve seen much development from Valve regarding the Portal franchise. Introducing “Portal 2” into the spotlight once again through “Super Smash Bros.” could be a truly legendary moment for both franchises.

5) BioShock X Fallout

It’s been quite some time since we’ve had substantial updates on both BioShock 4 and the future of the Fallout series. Although there are theories about where the setting for Fallout 5 might be, why not imagine a thrilling crossover instead? The idea of stepping back into the role of a Big Daddy, battling through the wastelands with a Little Sister by your side, would certainly have its appeal. In the world of Fallout, a Big Daddy could easily adapt to the harsh wasteland environment, and even the concept of genetic mutations granting powers might not seem out of place.
