Here we go, folks. I’ve got a bit of a scoop—or maybe just some mildly interesting info if you’re into Fortnite, Tony Hawk, or both? Either way, strap in ’cause it’s a weird ride. So apparently there’s a leak out there in the wild that’s suggesting Epic Games is about to dump a truckload of new collab skins on Fortnite’s doorstep. It’s like Christmas for game nerds, but without the snow. Or presents. Just skins.
Anyway, these potential fresh skins include Tony Hawk (yes, the skateboard legend himself), some characters from Death Stranding (which, if you haven’t played, is pretty much a walking simulator on cosmic steroids), and Doom Slayer from Doom: The Dark Ages – whoever that is. Oh, and ShpeshalNick—the guy spewing these leaks all over the internet—claims that Fortnite’s set to roll out more Mortal Kombat faces, which makes me wonder: will there be fatalities? If not, what’s even the point?
It doesn’t stop there. Marvel heroes getting the ol’ pixel-art makeover are coming our way. Meanwhile, there’s a Jack Black skin in the roster somewhere, though not tied to that Minecraft movie he’s supposedly in. I mean, what would we do without our daily dose of Jack Black chaos?
The leaker—Nick, if we’re on first-name terms—also hinted at a Tony Hawk-themed event, but didn’t cough up any juicy deets about what that’ll include or when it’s hitting. Might be tied to the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 + 4 release on July 11. Or maybe not. Who’s to say?
And for a trip down nostalgia lane, they’ll be launching deals with classics like Double Dragon’s Billy and Jimmy, and some guy named Agent 47—could’ve sworn that’s the bald dude who never smiles from Hitman. Add in pixelated pixel-perfect Marvel characters and an unknown NBA player, and you’ve got a lineup that’s either impressive or ludicrous—depending on how full or empty your gamer cup is.
Oh, and since we’ve been waiting for more Fortnite crossover hype, some fresh skins already landed this year. Pop culture references abound with Negan from The Walking Dead, a duo from Invincible, and—get this—Shohei Ohtani. For the music nerds, Sabrina Carpenter hit Fortnite, and so did Adventure Time’s gang. Jake, Finn, and crew are rockin’ island style, though I’m not sure how Princess Bubblegum handles the Battle Royale.
So there you have it, folks. Another day, another pixelated dream. Or just a distraction from actual real-world concerns. But hey, who am I to judge? I’m just your neighborhood info guy slinging the latest in gamer gossip. Keep your ears peeled and your controllers charged. Who knows what tomorrow brings—more leaks? A new spin on the same old game? Or maybe just a chance to skateboard across enemy lines. Cheers!
