Fortnite X The Office is Real Because We Live in a Fever Dream Now
Epic Games has officially decided that nothing is sacred by bringing Dunder Mifflin into the loop.

We are way past the point of logic. I remember when getting a crossover like Batman or Star Wars in a video game felt like a monumental event. Now, I’m apparently going to be hitting a griddy as Michael Scott while Dwight Schrute provides sniper cover from a watchtower. It’s absurd, it’s stupid, and honestly, at this point, why the hell not? If we’re building the ultimate digital graveyard of pop culture, we might as well include the guy who accidentally burned down an office with a toaster oven.
The Office Joins the Multiverse of Madness
The teaser is out, and it’s leaning hard into the memes that have kept that show on a life support loop of internet relevance for the last decade. It’s the kind of move that makes you wonder if Epic has a giant dartboard of "Things Millennials Like" in their headquarters.
Bears, Beets, Battle Royale
ShiinaBR dropped the official teaser line: "Build. Beets. Battle Royale." It’s a direct play on the "Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica" bit, confirming that Michael Scott and the gang are actually going to be running around with shotguns. I can already see the "Parkour!" emote being spammed by every twelve-year-old on the planet. It’s a fucking weird choice for a shooter, but Epic has proven they can sell literally anything to their player base.
The Cartoon Network Invasion is Next
If a middle manager from Scranton wasn't enough to break your brain, the leakers have even more insanity lined up for the next two updates. This isn't just a one-off joke; it’s a full-blown assault on childhood nostalgia.
Regular Show and Ed, Edd n Eddy
According to ShiinaBR, both Regular Show and Ed, Edd n Eddy are 100% confirmed to be arriving within the next two updates. I’m actually looking forward to seeing Mordecai and Rigby in the game, mostly because their show already felt like a weird fever dream that fits the Fortnite vibe. The Eds, on the other hand, are going to look absolutely cursed in 3D. I can’t wait to see how they mess that up.
Sonic and the Pimlico Mystery
There’s also a blue blur on the horizon and some weird new gameplay mode called Pimlico that sounds like it might actually change how the game plays for five minutes before everyone goes back to creative mode.
Sonic the Hedgehog and More
Beyond the office supplies and cartoons, AdiraFNInfo is reporting that a Sonic skin is likely. It’s honestly shocking it took this long given how much Sega loves whoring out their mascot to literally anyone with a checkbook. We’re also getting a new "Pimlico" game mode, with a gameplay reveal expected in the next 24 hours. Between the new Jam Tracks from Ghost and ITZY and the Rocket League crossovers, Epic is basically trying to ensure you never have a reason to close their launcher again.
Would you like me to keep an eye out for the first leaked gameplay footage of Michael Scott in the Item Shop?
