Rumors are swirling that Fortnite might soon welcome characters from another iconic gaming franchise, Mortal Kombat. Epic Games is no stranger to exciting crossovers for its battle royale powerhouse, having previously teamed up with the likes of Marvel, Star Wars, and Transformers, just to name a few. These collaborations have kept Fortnite fresh and full of surprises.
Over the years, gamers have enjoyed the thrill of donning skins from a variety of video game legends such as Lara Croft from Tomb Raider, Master Chief from Halo, and Kratos from God of War. There’s always a buzz about what could be next, with whispers of possible team-ups with Devil May Cry and Metal Gear Solid keeping the community eagerly speculating. Now, it seems another pair of classic video game figures could be making a grand entrance onto the battlefields of Fortnite.
Known Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR has ignited the discussion by suggesting that Chapter 6 Season 2 might introduce Mortal Kombat skins to the game. Speculation is already rife about which characters might be featured. While the leak hasn’t pinpointed specific names, Scorpion and Sub-Zero are widely tipped as the likely contenders, thanks to their status as series staples.
Fortnite’s upcoming chapter kicks off on February 21, with a trailer hinting at a thrilling heist theme. Midas, a beloved character, is set to make a rugged return, sparking excitement among fans. Additional leaks suggest the potential arrival of a quirky pickle-themed skin, which could mean a fresh Peely variant or possibly a throwback to Pickle Rick from Rick and Morty.
Incorporating Mortal Kombat’s Scorpion and Sub-Zero would align well with this season’s rumored heist theme. These characters could seamlessly fit into the world of Fortnite, but until we hear anything official from Epic Games or the Mortal Kombat creators at NetherRealm, fans should savor the anticipation with cautious optimism. With the season’s start drawing near, official announcements, if any, are hopefully just around the corner.
