Rick and Morty return to Fortnite with Wave 3 – including Pickle Rick
Epic Games has confirmed that Rick and Morty are making their way back to Fortnite for a third collaborative wave, bringing the internet’s favorite brined scientist back to the battle royale.
The publisher revealed the new crossover in a teaser for Chapter 7 Season 2, explicitly confirming that the long-requested Pickle Rick skin will headline the update alongside the formidable Rick Prime.
It has been quite some time since the duo first portal-hopped into the game back in late 2022. While those initial drops covered the base versions of the Smith family and the ever-anxious Mr. Meeseeks, Wave 3 appears to be leaning into the more meme-centric corners of the show’s history. Pickle Rick remains perhaps the singular most inescapable image from the series’ run, making his eventual transition to a playable skin both inevitable and surprisingly overdue given the game’s multiverse trajectory.
As for what is actually in the box, reliable dataminer ShiinaBR indicates the Wave 3 collection focuses primarily on the Rick Prime and Pickle Rick outfits. Early in-game footage teased by the official Fortnite account shows a torture sequence referencing Season 5, implying the character models will be faithfully specific to their source episodes. While pricing is rarely confirmed until the shop refreshes, previous collaborative skins have hovered around the 1,500 V-Bucks mark, with discounted bundles expected for those wanting to grab the full set.
Players can expect the Rick and Morty Wave 3 skins to hit the Item Shop on Friday, March 6, 2026, following the standard daily reset at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET. Personally, I am mostly curious to see if the hitbox on a literal pickle offers any competitive advantage, or if I’m just paying to make myself a more vibrant, vinegar-soaked target.Ubisoft has released a comprehensive gameplay overview trailer for The Division Resurgence, outlining the core systems of the upcoming free-to-play mobile shooter.
The footage suggests a surprisingly faithful translation of the series’ cover-based mechanics to touchscreens, showing agents utilizing the Snowdrop engine to navigate a crisis-stricken New York City. You’ll spot the familiar rhythm of tactical movement and gadget deployment, alongside a look at class specializations and the high-stakes Dark Zone. It aims for a visual density distinct from standard mobile fare, attempting to bridge the gap between handheld play and the console experience.
While coverage of The Division usually focuses on the mainline entries, this prequel connects directly to the lore between the first two games. It’s a strategy we’re seeing more frequently as major publishers diversify platforms, similar to how a new Tony Hawk title landed on mobile to expand that franchise’s reach.
The Division Resurgence launches on March 31 for iOS and Android.
