Do you want to see Star Trek characters added to Fortnite or Magic the Gathering?

Both games are embracing crossovers with every franchise they can get their hands on. Star Trek's two greatest rivals have already joined in, with Star Wars characters appearing in Fortnite and Doctor Who characters appearing in Magic. I don't want Star Trek to miss out.

What do you think?

I would love to have even just a random redshirt in Fortnite! (And yes, I'm 50 years old and play Fortnite. )

Spock should be added to Mortal Kombat so Leonard Nimoy's ghost can rise and bring forth the Apocalypse.

YES - absolutely! There needs to be much more than just the Vulcan salute. It's been way too long.

There was an announcement back in 2023 that piqued my interest and seemed to gain some traction before it disappeared. A music artist named "Kid Cudi" was planning on releasing a new song (called "Heaven's Galaxy") and Trek-related merchandise, tying it all in to Fortnite and calling it "Boldly Be". Looks like he was going after a KelvinVerse aesthetic for this. Never seemed to go anywhere, though.

TrekMovie had some links during the short-lived media blitz:

I'd definitely like to see Trek, Battlestar Galactica (old and new), Firefly, Space: 1999 and other tie-ins as well. They've already done Star Wars, Alien, Predator & Terminator, to name a few, plus a metric ass-ton of anime. Why the hell not?

In regards to Star Wars, it was actually worse than that as Palpatine announcing his resurrection, as mentioned in Rise of Skywalker's opening, literally only happened on Fortnite. It wasn't even in the cartoon show Resistance.

Well... Resistance was... in a word, forgettable. With or without Fortnite.

It was a bad cartoon and leaned heavily into unmasculine asian male stereotypes for the main character that i found offensive as an asian male. I'm surprised Disney got away with that, although they have improved somewhat with Qimir in Acolyte (even though that character was a villain)

I don’t play either one. So it doesn’t matter to me.
