Ben 10 fans can rejoice as Epic Games has officially confirmed a new collaboration between Fortnite and the classic Cartoon Network series Ben 10. A short teaser trailer released on April 21, 2026, gives fans their first look at the Ben Tennyson skin and hints at how the Omnitrix alien transformations could integrate into the battle royale experience.
The teaser over on the official Fortnite X page shows a stylized, cell-shaded version of Ben activating the Omnitrix and cycling through several of his signature alien forms. The focus on the transformation mechanic has led to speculation that the crossover may go beyond simple cosmetic skins, potentially introducing unique abilities or limited-time gameplay elements tied to Ben’s alien roster. Whether these transformations will function as permanent abilities, emotes, or part of a special event mode has not yet been detailed.
Ben 10 originally aired in 2005 and became one of Cartoon Network’s most successful franchises of the 2000s, spawning multiple sequel series, films, a reboot, and numerous games. The core concept of the show being about a young hero using an alien wrist device to transform into powerful extraterrestrial creatures lends itself well to Fortnite’s crossover-heavy identity.
Rumors prior to the official teaser suggested multiple skins would be included. This could mean additional characters from the Ben 10 universe or alternate alien forms as selectable styles for the Ben skin. The trailer’s emphasis on the Omnitrix has many fans hoping for something more interactive, such as temporary power-ups or a special limited-time mode where players can cycle through aliens during matches, similar to how other major crossovers have introduced unique gameplay twists.
Many are already speculating which aliens might make the cut, with popular choices including Heatblast, Four Arms, XLR8, and Diamondhead frequently mentioned. Others are hoping for a full event experience that lets players team up to fend off an alien threat using Ben’s powers.
Epic Games and Cartoon Network have not yet shared a full release date or complete list of cosmetics and features for the collaboration. Additional details are expected in the coming weeks, likely through more trailers or direct in-game announcements. The collaboration is part of Fortnite’s ongoing effort to bring iconic animated properties to the island.
For longtime Ben 10 fans, seeing the Omnitrix appear in Fortnite feels like an awesome call back to a series that defined a generation of Cartoon Network viewers. Whether the crossover stays cosmetic or expands into unique gameplay remains to be seen, but the teaser has already reignited nostalgia and anticipation.
Stay tuned for the next update on the Ben 10 collaboration. With the Omnitrix now teased, the question is no longer if Ben Tennyson is coming to the island but exactly how powerful his alien transformations will be once he arrives.
