Rumors are swirling in the gaming community that Fortnite might soon welcome some iconic fighters from the Mortal Kombat universe as part of its Chapter 6 Season 2. If this pans out, players could be looking at two fresh quest character skins, each boasting distinctive Mythic weapons or abilities.
The buzz is particularly strong around the possibility of Scorpion and Sub-Zero making the cut, two characters who are practically synonymous with Mortal Kombat. This wouldn’t be Fortnite’s first crossover rodeo; the game has a rich history of blending worlds by inviting a diverse array of characters from various franchises like Marvel, Star Wars, and Transformers into its vibrant battlegrounds.
Not just limited to the film and comic spheres, Fortnite has also paved the way for avatars from the gaming world to join its ranks. Players have already seen appearances from the likes of Lara Croft, Master Chief, and Kratos. Rumor mills have also been churning with potential crossovers featuring Devil May Cry, Like a Dragon, and Metal Gear Solid, proving that Epic Games is never short on surprises when it comes to character mash-ups.
Recently, a noted Fortnite insider, ShiinaBR, shared potential plans for a Mortal Kombat crossover, indicating it might land in Chapter 6 Season 2. As noted in a Reddit post by user KvasirTheOld, the speculation points towards the introduction of two quest characters with their own unique Mythic tools. Although the identities of these characters haven’t been confirmed, Scorpion and Sub-Zero are the names on everyone’s lips.
Chapter 6, Season 2 is slated to kick off on February 21, hinting at a heist-themed season, which was suggested by a trailer release. Teasers are plentiful, with Midas, a lovable character among Fortnite fans, primed for a grand return with a rugged redesign. Moreover, whispers in the community suggest a pickle-themed skin, sparking curiosity over whether a new Peely spin or the return of Pickle Rick from Rick and Morty is on the horizon.
Mortal Kombat’s Scorpion and Sub-Zero, known for their ninja roots, would seamlessly blend into the rumored heist environment of Fortnite’s new season—though, as with any unconfirmed rumors, fans should temper their expectations until official announcements are made by Epic or Mortal Kombat’s parent company, NetherRealm. With the new season just around the corner, fans won’t have to wait too long to see which rumors turn out to be true.
Fortnite offers players an expansive world, where no two games are alike. Whether building elaborate structures in Battle Royale, rocking out at a virtual concert, or diving into creator-made adventures, the game is a playground of endless possibilities. As the countdown continues for Chapter 6, Season 2, gamers are eager to see what fresh adventures Epic Games has in store.
