Fortnite leak reveals yet another crossover with Halo
It seems Fortnite is once again going to collaborate with Halo. The hugely popular Battle Royale title is known for its epic crossovers with various franchises in the industry, be it other games, individual celebrities, movies, or anime.
Fortnite recently collaborated with Jame Gunn's Superman movie as part of the Chapter 6 Season 3's superhero theme. It didn't stop there as this Epic Games title went on to tie-up with the recently launched MCU movies, The Fantastic Four: First Step. Now, another sumptuous crossover is potentially on its way.
Everything you need to know about the upcoming Fortnite X Halo collaboration
Once again it's the popular Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR who has broken the news of a potential Halo collaboration in the game.
The leaker has shared a tweet which revealed that a female Spartan from Halo is coming to Fortnite. However, the identity of this character is still unknown. ShiinaBR also stated that this collaboration will feature a Red or Blue colored Pickaxe as well.
The release date of this collaboration isn't revealed as well, but as we are almost at the end of Chapter 6 Season 3, the potential Halo content is going to be launched in Season 4, which is expected to release on August 7, 2025. The tweet also claimed that this Halo character might be featured in the Season 4 Battle Pass and the upcoming season is going to be called

Spartans are mainly male characters in the Halo franchise, including Master Chief, who has already been featured in a crossover with Fortnite in Chapter 2 Season 5. But female Spartans also have a fair share of involvements in the Halo series as well.
For example: Kat-B320 from Halo: Reach, Kelly-087 from Halo:The Fall of Reach and Halo 5: Guardians, Linda-058 from The Fall of Reach, Commander Sarah Palmer from Halo 4, and many more.
So, it's expected that one of these popular female Spartans are going to be featured in this highly anticipated collaboration.
As Epic Games is yet to officially announce this collaboration, we should take this rumor as a grain of salt. But keeping in mind ShiinaBR's brilliant past track records in terms of Fortnite leak, and his claim of
'someone'
telling him about this potential collaboration, this crossover is highly possible to make it into the game.

Roblox's Grow a Garden sets record: Breaking down the success of idle games
A Roblox game titled 'Grow a Garden' has recently been making headlines for all the right reasons. For a long time, action-packed or strategy and shooting games have dominated the gaming community, but this time, a farming simulator game has reportedly shattered records. According to a Fortune report, Grow a Garden has claimed the top spot for having the most concurrent players of any game in history. Here's a breakdown of the success of the recently launched game. What is Grow a Garden Grow a Garden is a free-to-play farming simulation game on Roblox, launched in March 2025. In the game, players start with a small plot and basic crops, using in-game currency called Sheckles to plant, harvest, and expand their gardens. The game quickly became viral between May and June, after setting a record with over 21 million concurrent players, surpassing even Fortnite's all-time peak, as reported by The Economic Times. What might have led to its success The charm of Grow a Garden lies in its idle gameplay mechanics: crops continue growing even while you're offline, encouraging steady progress without constant attention. As you advance, you unlock dozens of crop types, pet companions that boost growth, and mutations that dramatically increase crop value. This, in a way, is akin to Plants Vs Zombies. Due to its simple mechanics, engaging and strategic gameplay, Plants Vs Zombies bagged the "Strategy Game of the Year" award at the Golden Joystick Awards. Now, Grow a Garden, though a bit different, might be headed on the path to bag a series of awards. Another possible reason for Grow a Garden's success might be that the game also features regular events, like 'Working Bees,' 'Summer Update,' and other seasonal challenges where players can earn limited-time items and rare mutations by participating in dynamic activities. These events might be helping to maintain engagement in the community. Furthermore, Grow a Garden stands out for its creator economy model, built by a 16-year-old developer and later partially acquired by Splitting Point Studios. According to Business Insider, the 16-year-old who created the game in just days has remained anonymous. According to an interview in a gaming newsletter with Roblox developer and the founder of Splitting Point Studios, Janzen "Jandel" Madsen, Grow a Garden was initially created by the teen who built it in a few days. Then Madsen acquired part of the game to build it out with a team of developers. Under Madsen's guidance, the Splitting Point Studios organised live updates, community events, and live-ops strategies that helped Grow a Garden skyrocket to over 21 million concurrent users, surpassing records previously held by Fortnite. Madsen has also created or co-led development on several other top Roblox titles, including popular experiences like Wacky Wizards, Field Trip Z, Bed Wars, and Jandel's Road Trip. Idle simulator games are making a mark Grow a Garden is one of many games that have recently acquired a large user base. Other games, such as Idle Miner Tycoon, Idle Lumber: Business Empire, Idle Farming Empire, Prison Empire Tycoon, and other games have been downloaded by millions of users. As per Google Play Store, Idle Miner Tycoon alone has been downloaded more than 100 million times. Such games do not engage in combat, shooting, or action but yet they are able to engage gamers. They feature very simple mechanics, behind-the-scenes functionality so that you do not have to keep the game open for hours to be able to collect in-game rewards, calming music, and more. When all these come together, then, as per the data, it seems like the recipe of a hit game is created. One of the best things to have emerged from the current times and trends is the removal of barriers in the world of game creation. With Roblox in place, anyone can sign up and create a game that others can play simply by choosing it from Roblox's catalogue. Leading games like Fortnite and PUBG are also trying to capitalise on the user-generated content. What is Roblox Roblox is an online platform that lets users create, share, and play games developed by other users. Unlike traditional video games, Roblox is not a single game but a vast ecosystem where millions of user-generated experiences exist across genres like racing, adventure, role-playing, and simulation. These games are built using Roblox Studio, a free development tool that allows creators to design environments, code mechanics, and monetise their content. Roblox also functions as a social hub, allowing players to interact through chat, join friends in games, and customise avatars with clothing and accessories purchased using Robux, the platform's virtual currency. Its accessibility on PC, mobile, Xbox, and even VR devices, along with a large and active community, makes Roblox more popular among younger audiences.
