The new content will allow players to go on adventures and missions involving locations from the world of the show – including the iconic TARDIS.
The story justification for this crossover involves a mysterious entity known as the Reality Virus, which causes the TARDIS to malfunction and suddenly appear on a Fortnite island.

Mat Way, Global Director of Gaming & Interactive at BBC Studios, said: “Developing an island in Fortnite is new territory for Doctor Who and we’re excited to welcome the game’s established players into the Whoniverse.
"This is a great opportunity to introduce a gaming audience to Doctor Who and also for the existing community to experience a brand-new adventure. Players can expect a fast-paced, unpredictable journey with familiar friends and foes making appearances along the way.”
Options included in this new feature include a box fighting map inspired by the season 11 episode Kerblam!, an escape map featuring the destructive Pting from The Tsuranga Conundrum, and a rumble map featuring Time Lords and Daleks.
If you're in the mood for a break, the game also includes a virtual Doctor Who museum, where fans can learn more about the friends and foes who have appeared throughout the long-running series.
