In April 2018, Jazwares team announced a licensing partnership with Epic Games, developers of the phenomenally successful Fortnite video game to produce Fortnite Action Figures. The line launched in December 2018 with a line of 3.75" highly articulated Fortnite figures supported by blind-boxed loot chests which contained weapons and accessories for the figures. In February 2019 the Jazwares team expanded the Fortnite license with the launch of a 6-inch collectors line called the Legendary collection. The Legendary figures were packed in window boxes and contained a variety of accessories, weapons, and parts. Alongside the Fortnite line, Jazwares also licensed Halo figures, creating 3.75-inch and 6-inch figures - the latter being named the Spartan Collection. While Jazwares would relinquish the 6-inch Fortnite series when Hasbro took over the licensing, they did move into another of Hasbro's key licensing spaces with the Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron line of scaled ships and vehicles from the Star Wars Saga, each coming with 1-inch high action figures. The Micro Galaxy Series features Chase and Rare releases within each Series as well as a Blind-Box category for the smallest 'Scout' Class vehicles.

About Fortnite : Fortnite is an online video game first released in 2017 and developed by Epic Games. It is available as separate software packages having different game modes that otherwise share the same general gameplay and game engine. The game modes include Fortnite: Save the World, a cooperative shooter-survival game for up to four players to fight off zombie-like creatures and defend objects with fortifications they can build, Fortnite Battle Royale, a free-to-play battle royale game where up to 100 players fight to be the last person standing, and Fortnite Creative, where players are given complete freedom to create worlds and battle arenas. The first two game modes were released in 2017 as early access titles and Creative was released on December 6, 2018. Save the World is available only for Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, while Battle Royale has been released for those platforms in addition for Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android devices.

While the first two games have been successful for Epic Games, Fortnite Battle Royale became a resounding success, drawing in more than 125 million players in less than a year and earning hundreds of millions of dollars per month, and since has been a cultural phenomenon.
