Posted by Twigsby on 5/24/2021
The 2nd half of Fortnite x NBA: The Crossover arrives on May 25, 2021 in Fortnite Creative with an all-new NBA-themed Welcome Hub.
NBA Welcome Hub
This hoops-inspired haven, built by Atlas Creative, brings the NBA to Fortnite Creative. As you explore the Welcome Hub, you’ll find a wide array of basketball-themed areas to explore and you can view and purchase the new NBA Outfits directly from the Welcome Hub!
The Season’s Best Highlights
While exploring the Hub, you’ll be surrounded by clips covering this season’s best highlights. With the 2021 NBA Playoffs underway, celebrate dunks, dimes, buzzer beaters, and the best plays of the regular season, as Fortnite brings video into Creative Mode for the first time ever. A new NBA highlight reel will be showcased in the Hub each day:
- May 25 - Top Plays of the Season
- May 26 - Dazzling Dunks
- May 27 - Crossovers & Handles
- May 28 - Clutch Plays
- May 29 - Top Rejections
- May 30 - Top Dimes
- May 31 - Top Plays of the Season (Encore)
Court Crashers LTM
We’re also excited to bring you an NBA-themed LTM showcase -- The Crossover: Court Crashers -- also created by AtlasCreative. Launch yourself off huge jumps and land big dunks on basketball hoops to score points. Queue up for The Crossover: Court Crashers playlist to play or enter code 1898-7178-3313 to check it out privately.
Complete The Crossover quest by playing the Court Crashers LTM and visiting the NBA Welcome Hub. You will score XP as you complete each challenge and unlock a Basketball Hoop Banner as the final reward!
