You might recall that a <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/doctor-who-fortnite-map-newsupdate\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Doctor Who map was added to Fortnite Creative<\/a> earlier this year. Well, perhaps that fun little promo was a sign of things to come.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Fortnite is no stranger to pop-culture crossovers, and the recent <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-marvel-unlimited-skins\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite Marvel Unlimited<\/a> crossover showed just how deeply the game can ingratiate itself into other franchises. (In that crossover comic, Agent Jones from Fortnite went on a mission with the main-continuity versions of Spider-Man and Wolverine.)<\/p>\n<p>So, what do the rumours say and what would we like to see in a Fortnite Doctor Who event? Keep on reading for all of our thoughts on the matter.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When could the Fortnite Doctor Who event happen?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A new crossover between Doctor Who and Fortnite is yet to be confirmed by any official sources at this stage, but that won\u2019t stop us from hazarding a guess as to when it could be coming out.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d predict that any Fortnite\/Doctor Who event would be timed to promote the impending launch of <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/doctor-who-power-of-the-doctor-air-date-confirmed-newsupdate\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Power of the Doctor<\/a>, Jodie Whittaker\u2019s final episode which will debut on\u00a0<strong>Sunday 23rd October 2022<\/strong> to celebrate the BBC\u2019s centenary.

One thing that fans would love to see is Doctor Who skins in Fortnite, of course.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d love to see skins\/outfits included for every Doctor, from William Hartnell all the way through to the modern era of Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi and Jodie Whittaker. We wouldn\u2019t expect Ncuti Gatwa to appear, seeing as the new Doctor\u2019s outfit has not yet been revealed, but who knows!<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a fun idea, though: what if there was actually just\u00a0<em>one\u00a0<\/em>Doctor Who skin, with multiple different styles to choose from, each of which represents a different Doctor? We\u2019d love to see that.<\/p>\n<p>As the Tweet above suggests, we\u2019d also love to see a TARDIS glider and a series of Doctor Who emotes and accessories.

Perhaps the Chrome substance from this current season secretly has something to do with the Cyberium from Doctor Who? That would be a fun twist!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it\u2019s also possible that the Doctor Who quests in Fortnite could take place in a separate Creative map, supporting the \u2018play your way\u2019 mantra that Fortnite is embracing at the moment. Maybe there could be a way to watch scenes from the new episode in the game, something like a Soundwave Series concert but for TV? Attach some items and\/or XP to an event like that and players are bound to show up.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What about a Doctor Who boss battle in Fortnite?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>And finally, here\u2019s one other idea that we had: what about a Doctor Who boss battle in Fortnite, taking place on the island itself?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, players in the current Paradise season of Fortnite have already had one boss battle to enjoy \u2014 the mysterious new villain The Herald is a formidable foe, but we can\u2019t help but wonder if she is\u00a0<em>heralding\u00a0<\/em>a more familiar character.<\/p>\n<p>Why not follow The Herald with a Doctor Who villain like the Master, the Daleks or the Cybermen, all of whom are appearing in the new episode? Now that would be a challenge for players! Those are all our theories and hopes, then, and we\u2019ll be sure to update this page if\/when anything official is announced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discover more with Fortnite creative map codes: <\/strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-horror-scary-map-codes-guide\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite horror maps<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-map-codes-action-adventure-creative-codes-best-creative-map-codes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite action-adventure maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-hide-and-seek-creative-map-codes-april-2021-best-map-codes-this-month\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite hide and seek maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/best-fortnite-zone-wars-creative-map-codes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite Zone Wars maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-fighting-creative-map-codes-best\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite fighting maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-parkour-map-codes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite parkour maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/best-fortnite-creative-map-codes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">best Fortnite creative maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/squid-game-fortnite-map-code\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite Squid Game map codes<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-monopoly-code-back-blings\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite Monopoly code<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/im-a-celebrity-itv-fortnite\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite I\u2019m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here code<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/doctor-who-fortnite-map-newsupdate\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite Doctor Who map code<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow <a href=\"\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Radio Times Gaming on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest insights.
