It seems thatFortnitehas collaborated with nearly every large franchise at this point. Since the battle royale was released in 2017, gamers have had the opportunity to purchase skins and other cosmetics from countless franchises across gaming, entertainment, and sports. Nevertheless, Epic Games continues to find new companies to partner with as the game enters its newest season.
Fortniteis currently in Chapter 2 Season 8. Releasing earlier in September with theOperation: Sky Fire live event, fans of the game were treated to a host of new changes. While new dangers entered the game due to the Sideways, a place harboring dangerous monsters, this also presented players with the opportunity to craft new weapons using the remains of these defeated creatures. In addition, the Mothership crash following the live event changed the look of the map. Even as these wild events take place in the game, Epic Games continues to roll out more cosmetics as well.
