The Fortnite metaverse
is about to welcome the royalty of the virtual world. According to new massive
leaks circulating in the community, Epic Games is preparing a
historic crossover: the arrival of Kizuna AI, the absolute
pioneer of the VTuber phenomenon, to the popular Battle
Royale.
Reports indicate
that Kizuna AI will not be just any skin, but will be part of
the prestigious ICON Series, reserved for celebrities and
high-impact content creators. Debuting in 2016, Kizuna is considered the figure
who shaped the boom of virtual influencers long before agencies such as
Hololive or Nijisanji dominated the market. Her mix of vlogs, music, and gaming
made her a global icon, and her arrival in the game marks Fortnite's first
major collaboration with a VTuber.
More
surprises: Cartoon Network and South Park
The leak did not
come alone. There are also collaborations on the way with beloved Western
animation series such as Regular Show and Adventure
Time. This suggests a season full of lively nostalgia.
While we wait for
Kizuna's official confirmation, players already have their hands full. On January
9, the game released its South Park update, introducing
the "Cartmanland" point of interest and Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny,
and Butters cosmetics in the store, as well as a free
"Born in Chaos" pass.
