Fortnite could be getting three new skins from the smash-hit animated series Invincible, according to datamined information.
A dataminer by the name of Shiina shared images ofFortnite's possible upcoming collaboration with Invincibleon <a data-analytics-id=«inline-link» href=«https://twitter.com/ShiinaBR/status/1725079395562303768?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1725079395562303768%7Ctwgr%5E88edd2e1eb9fb88fbd2dbaeae1821779a186ea79%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ign.com%2Farticles%2Ffortnite-leak-reveals-skins-for-invincible-omni-man-and-atom-eve» target="_blank" data-url=«https://twitter.com/ShiinaBR/status/1725079395562303768?ref_src=» https:>Twitter
. These images showed an in-game look at Invincible, Omni-Man, and Atom Eve.Epic Games has yet to confirm this possible upcoming collaboration, however, it would be yet another high-profile IP collaboration. In the past, the third-person shooter partnered with the anime Attack on Titan, the action-film character John Wick, Chief Hopper, and the Demogorgon from Stranger Things.
The dataminer also shows off some accessories associated with these skins. In a YouTube video, Shiina displayed several items, such as Atom Eve's Subatomic Sword, a Burger Mart bag, the severed head of the Immortal, and, of course, all of their capes.
While it's yet to be confirmed whether or not these superheroes will be coming to Fortnite, they do look cool in the cel-shaded forms, like other characters that have come before. However, considering that Fortnite has a fair amount of younger players, this may probably be one of the only collaborations that many of them haven't been able to watch.
Invincible, while looking like your average cartoon, is anything but child-friendly. This animated series includes several bloody and gut-wrenching fights. Especially the one between two major characters towards the end of the first series, which shocked even veteran viewers, as it was full of bloody punches, mangled faces, and many, many civilian deaths.
However, it's very unlikely that Epic Games would show the Invincible character's bloodiest angles and instead will hopefully just settle for their looks, making this collaboration as family-friendly as it needs to be. Although, playing against Omni-Man is sure to be chillingly scary.

Gone are the days of scrounging up loot at dilapidated taco joints and rusty playgrounds in Fortnite. Epic Games released a massive new update to the battle royale game this week as part of Chapter 5 Season 1. The patch literally blew up the OG map with a meteor, replacing it with an entirely new, much fancier map. Instead of rough locales like Greasy Groves or Tomato Temple, players now explore palatial manors like Lavish Lair or the manicured vineyards of Pleasant Piazza. Fortnite is basically a fancy European vacation now, and it feels a bit outside my personal budget.
Epic Games has been pushing Fortnite as a platform of its own for a while now, and the company is set to take that another step forward. It has announced three new games, all of which will be released and available only in Fortnite in the coming days.
Dieselpunk-inspired city builder and strategy game New Cycle will launch in Early Access for PC via Steam on January 18, 2024, publisher Daedalic Entertainment and developer Core Engage announced.
Elden Ring may be about to get some new content, judging from some recent behind-the-scenes activity on Steam.
One of the rarest skins in Fortnite history, the Black Widow skin, has made an unexpected return to the Item Shop after more than four and a half years of not being on sale.
Borderlands Collection: Pandora’s Box is reportedly coming to Nintendo Switch, according to a new listing by Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle or USK, Germany’s video ratings organization. It launched in September for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and PC, so a Switch version isn’t out of the ordinary.
Pearl Abyss shared several Black Desert news this week. First of all, the massively multiplayer online roleplaying game can be purchased at a 90% discount until November 28 via Steam or until November 29 via the official website. This means you could get Black Desert for just a dollar (or euro).
After leaks surfaced earlier this week of a potential Eminem live in-game show event in Fortnite, Epic pulled back the curtain to reveal the legendary rapper is joining the likes of Travis Scott and Ariana Grande as real-life performers who have graced the island. Like with previous events, this Eminem concert comes with some skins for players to buy based on the rapper, though there seems to be a bit more pushback this time around, as the Eminem event features a total of three separate skins.
