Summary
A new rumor suggests thatFortnitemight be getting a crossover with yet another beloved gaming series,Mortal Kombat. Epic’s massively popular multiplayer battle royale game is no stranger to crossovers, with guest character skins and promotionalFortniteevents inspired by a wide range of pop culture franchises like Marvel,Star Wars,Transformers, and many more.
This has even extended to other video games, asFortnitehas allowed players to battle across the Island as icons likeTomb Raider’s Lara Croft,Halo’s Master Chief, andGod of War’s Kratos, among numerous others. Recent rumors have suggested that crossovers withDevil May CryandLike a Dragoncould be in the cards, as well as another wave ofFortnitecontent based onMetal Gear Solid.Fortnite’s many surprise crossovers and guest character skins have proven that anything is possible when it comes to Epic’s flagship battle royale, and word has it that a pair of iconic ninjas might be sneaking onto the Island in the future.
ReliableFortniteleaker ShiinaBR recently claimed that aMortal Kombatcrossover could be coming toFortniteas part of Chapter 6 Season 2 (viaReddituser KvasirTheOld on r/GamingLeaksAndRumours). This would include two new quest character skins, each with their own special Mythic weapon or ability. The leak doesn’t state which twoMortal Kombatcharacters these skins would be, but many have guessed that itwould be Scorpion and Sub-Zero, the two de-facto mascots of the series.
Fortnite Could Get Mortal Kombat Skins
FortniteChapter 6, Season 2 will begin on February 21, with a recent trailer seemingly confirming past rumors that the new season will have a heist theme. Epic has teased that thefan-favoriteFortnitecharacter Midas will returnthis season with a rugged new look, and other leaks have hinted at a pickle-themed skin that could either be a new Peely variant or maybe even the return of Pickle Rick fromRick and Morty.
As ninjas,Mortal Kombat’s Scorpion and Sub-Zero would fit well withFortniteChapter 6, Season 2’s supposed heist theme, assuming that they are indeed the two characters that will appear as guest skins in this still-unconfirmed crossover. TheMortal Kombatuniverse is filled with memorable charactersthat gamers would love to play in a round ofFortnite, but players should be advised to take this latest claim with a grain of salt like any other unverified rumor until an official confirmation comes from Epic or NetherRealm. Such news probably isn’t too far away though, asFortniteChapter 6, Season 2 is set to begin later this month.
