Epic Games might be pulling off one of its most unexpected crossovers yet. According to recent leaks from trusted Fortnite insiders, Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute from The Office are reportedly heading to the battle royale next week, potentially arriving in the Item Shop between January 20-24.
The rumor started when leaker AdiraFNInfo mentioned a “nostalgic TV duo” would debut in Fortnite this week, without naming names.
Shortly after, ShiinaBR, one of the most reliable sources in the Fortnite community, added context in a YouTube video, suggesting the collaboration could involve The Office.
Another leaker, Loolo_WRLD, backed this up, stating Epic Games is working on bringing characters from the iconic mockumentary sitcom to the island.
What to expect from the collaboration
If the leaks prove accurate, players can expect at least two character skins, most likely featuring Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute, the show’s most iconic duo.
Fans are already speculating about potential alternate styles, including Prison Mike, Michael Scarn from the in-universe film Threat Level Midnight, and maybe even Three Hole Punch Jim or Recyclops versions.
The community is especially hyped about the possibility of a “That’s What She Said” emote, which would be peak Fortnite chaos.
Other rumored items include a stapler back bling and themed wraps, though Epic Games hasn’t confirmed any specific details yet.
Pricing is expected to follow the usual premium crossover model, likely ranging between 1,500-2,000 V-Bucks per skin, with bundles potentially costing more.
Following South Park’s footsteps
This potential collaboration comes right after Fortnite’s successful South Park crossover, which launched on January 9 with map exchanges, new skins, and limited-time playlists.
Epic Games has been on a roll with pop culture partnerships lately, including The Simpsons in November 2025 and upcoming waves of Adventure Time characters. The Office joining this roster would mark the first sitcom from the live-action format to enter Fortnite, opening doors for future TV show collaborations.
While The Office ended in 2013, the show remains a streaming giant and meme factory, making it a natural fit for Fortnite’s strategy of tapping into nostalgic, internet-friendly properties.
The timing also makes sense as Epic Games continues expanding its Chapter 7 Season 1 content with fresh crossovers that appeal to different generations of players.
It’s worth noting that nothing has been officially confirmed by Epic Games yet. Leakers have used cautious language, with ShiinaBR stating the collab “seems to be in the works” rather than providing absolute confirmation.
However, given the track record of these sources, AdiraFNInfo successfully leaked Adventure Time Wave 2 and other collaborations, there’s strong reason to believe something is happening.
For now, fans of Dunder Mifflin will have to wait and see if Michael Scott’s signature management style translates into Victory Royales next week. Whether you’re Team Jim or Team Dwight, the idea of dropping into Tilted Towers as the World’s Best Boss is pretty tempting.
