'Fortnite' Season 3 Rumored to Include a 'SpongeBob SquarePants' Crossover

Thanks in large part to a newly leaked icon for the upcoming season of Fortnite: Battle Royale, officially Season 3, rumors are widely circulating online that the next great crossover for the popular video game will be none other than the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise! While that might at first sound like a joke, it is entirely serious, and would actually play into what many believe to be a heavily water-based season with a flood and everything.

The new Fortnite season is set to launch on June 11th at this point, having been delayed once more from its previous release of June 4th, so there is still plenty of time for the developers to tease whatever actually is going to happen. As mentioned above, the SpongeBob rumors largely focus on the fact that the new icon, which apparently briefly appeared on the PlayStation Network store listing for the game, happens to have a very familiar-looking island in the righthand background.

You can take a look at what appears to be the new season's icon below:

What better way to introduce the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise into Fortnite than during a season that takes place "under the sea." This speculation stems from the new Season 3 icon prominently displaying a small island with three palm trees peeking above the water.

Now, it's entirely possible that this is just a familiar-looking island. Or, it could be possible that this is a hint that a SpongeBob SquarePants franchise crossover is in the works, whatever that might look like. If you're not familiar, the three-tree island is an extremely prominent part of the opening to the SpongeBob SquarePants - it floats right above Bikini Bottom, and is even visited by SpongeBob and friends on multiple occasions during the series. And it would appear that there will be plenty of nautical nonsense in the upcoming Fortnite season.

This could end up being a coincidence, but something fans have learnt from Epic Games over the years, it’s that they are open to just about any type of crossover.

Every location, with the exception of The Block, has featured alliteration, so Bikini Bottom would be perfect.

It's not entirely impossible that the upcoming season of Fortnite will include a SpongeBob SquarePants theme: Nickelodeon partnered with the game last year for a Are You Afraid of the Dark? crossover to celebrate the new miniseries, and SpongeBob has a big movie, Sponge On The Run hitting theatres in August!

SpongeBob SquarePants has actually dived deep into gaming as of late, including new mobile games SpongeBob SquarePants: Patty Pursuit and SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-Off, and THQ Nordic and Nickelodeon are slated to release SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated, a remake of the much-loved video game, on June 23.

Some leakers have gone the extra mile and mocked up some designs about what the season would look like if it was actually a SpongeBob theme.

Fortnite leaker HYPEX revealed “skins” from the upcoming season which feature characters from the show such as Gary, SpongeBob (as well as SpongeGar), Patrick, etc

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 is currently ongoing, and Season 3 is set to launch on June 11th, following The Device event set to take place on June 4. The popular video game is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile devices, and will be available on both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X at launch.

What do you think of a possible SpongeBob SquarePants crossover in Fortnite? Is the underwater theme and little island in the icon too tenuous for you? Let me know in the comments!

Nickelodeon Arabia to Host SpongeBob Pop-Up Channel on OSN

The channel will air 24/7 episodes of the popular children’s show until June 13, exclusively available via OSN.

Nickelodeon Arabia (جَزِيرَةُ الْعَرَب) and OSN have partnered to launch a dedicated SpongeBob SquarePants pop-up channel in three languages including English, Arabic and French! The channel, titled "100% SpongeBob" is set to launch on Friday, May 29 and will air episodes of Nickelodeon's beloved animated series 24/7 until Saturday, June 13, exclusively available via OSN.

Special themes on the SpongeBob pop-up channel will include best friends, pets/animals, school, food, family and vacations, as well as the ‘Krusty Krab’ restaurant. These two-hour themed marathons will take place from Sunday to Wednesday.

There will also be special themes on characters, such as Patrick, Squidward, Sandy, Gary, and the Planktons. Kids can also tune in to six-hour-long mega-marathons from Thursday to Saturday from 3:00 pm KSA/4:00 pm UAE.

Commenting on the launch of the pop-up, Tracey Grant, Vice President (VP) of Content and Channels for ViacomCBS, said: “SpongeBob SquarePants is one of the most popular and successful children’s characters of all time. He has the never-give-up spirit of a gold medalist and the warmth of the sun’s ray. Within the context of global uncertainty with kids being exposed to many difficult conversations, what better antidote than a goofy, gilded special dedicated channel with our beloved yellow sponge, performing silly antics in a pineapple under the sea?”

Rachna Arora, Director of Affiliate Channels at OSN, remarked: “As people are spending more time at home, we wanted to offer younger members of the family with some much-needed fun, in addition to our exclusive kids’ channels. We are very excited to launch a unique pop-up channel for one of the most popular cartoon series on our platform – SpongeBob SquarePants. Not only are we hosting more than 70 hours of SpongeBob on the channel, but also, it will be available in three languages for the very first time. In the spirit of Eid, traditionally a time for families and friends to come together and a time for giving, we are delighted to offer the pop-up channel across all OSN packages so our customers can watch content they love.”
