Fortnite Adds Bug Battles — Helldivers Devs Say It 'Looks Familiar'

Both key art from Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 6 and Helldivers 2.

Fortnite’s latest season has arrived, bringing a new enemy type: aliens simply called "bugs". The update immediately sparked comparisons to Arrowhead’s Helldivers franchise, where squads also team up to battle bugs and machines across large-scale battles.

Some fans even speculated that Epic Games might have originally approached Arrowhead about a crossover before creating its own take, but of course, that’s just speculation. For Xbox players, though, Fortnite’s latest season could serve as a fun warm-up before Helldivers 2 releases on August 20, 2025, for Xbox Series X|S (via VideoGamer).
