Over the past year, Epic Games continues to tear down boundaries with Fortnite in ways many would never anticipate. While cross-platform play was here and there for select games before, the firm pioneered the normality of the technology in which Minecraft, Rocket League, and even Call of Duty followed with later on. Additionally, the firm has done the same with skins featuring platform exclusive characters.
This includes the likes of Master Chief & Kratos, Aloy, and recently with Marcus Fenix & Kait Diaz. However, more is on the horizon for the game according to one known insider. @Sherspal_ Nick known for leading Xbox Era shared in a podcast that Microsoft is anticipating to offer more IPs to the battle royale. At the time he hinted Doom Slayer of id Software’s Doom would be included.
In anticipation for the Uncharted film hitting theaters this month, Fortnite & PlayStation Pictures has collaborated to deliver Nathan Drake & Chloe Frazer skins – with variants from the game and the motion picture. You can watch the trailer in the video below:
“Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer are dropping on the Fortnite Island to find a different kind of loot. Available in the Item Shop now, pick up their Outfits and other items based on the new Uncharted film by Sony Pictures and video game franchise by PlayStation’s Naughty Dog studio,” Epic Games shares.
Additionally, the helping of new skins also features the ‘Second Hand Saber Pickaxe’, ‘Parashurama Axe Pickaxe’, and ‘Update Journal Emote’. Starting Friday February 18th will also introduce Drake’s Map which will encourage players to explore for loot to uncover on the island. The encounter will remain until the start of Chapter 3.
