Fortnite has been a huge success and widely popularized the Battle Royale genre with its gameplay, custom skins, and the ability to construct areas quickly. Like any game, Fortnite receives updates but data miners have quickly found secrets in patch v12.30. Many players will have been hoping that the latest patch fixes some of Fortnite's glitches, but will now be excited at the leaked content that includes a new Deadpool skin variant.
The latest Fortnite season has had a focus on Deadpool and with that in mind, it makes sense that more content is being delivered with the character. Fortnite has an incredibly successful track record of crossover marketing films and franchises, yet with a Deadpool film far away, this partnership has managed to be particularly enjoyed by players. The latest Deadpool content will likely please fans as they continue to do challenges that feature the character.
The leaked skin variants for Fortnite are not limited to Deadpool but it is the most notable change. The Deadpool skin variant has the character without his mask and reveals his disfigured face, the other variants are shifts towards a sepia color pallet. It is yet to be confirmed when these variants will be released or if they will ever come to fruition, but many fans will be excited by the prospect of changing up the appearance of their character. It should be noted that all the new skins seem to be following a creepy theme and this may be to coincide with an upcoming event.
It is unclear whether all of the variants will coalesce into a greater event, but Deadpool merchandise extends far beyond the skin with guns, flags and plenty of suggestions of Deadpool taking over the yacht. There is plenty of hopes for new crossovers in Fortnite, but at the moment the developer behind the game, Epic Games, is focusing on its Deadpool based content which fans seem to be enjoying.
There seems to be loads of content on the horizon for Fortnite, and fans will be pleased that they are receiving a constant stream of updates to keep them entertained. There has already been evidence of Deadpool being connected to the yacht, and this leak suggests that these clues have been part of a greater plan. Many will now be eagerly awaiting the skin variants to drop.
Fortnite is available to play now on Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, Playstation 4, and Xbox One.
