Summary
A significant supposed leak fromFortnitepotentially reveals a new skin fromMortal Kombatwill be coming to the game, albeit one that remains a mystery. WhileFortnitecurrently has aMortal Kombatcharacter available, with another member of the legendary fighting game franchise incoming in Scorpion, a third character is now rumored to be entering the fray.
Epic Games' endlessly popular Battle Royale title is currently in the midst of its Chapter 6, Season 2. Titled as “Lawless,” the season introduces a criminal underworld theme complete with heist-style missions, Black Markets that sell powerful weaponry, and more. The season also brought inMortal Kombat’s resident cryomancer Sub-Zero,along with Sub-Zero’s Kombat Kit, allowing players to gain icy abilities. While Bi-Han (or perhaps Kuai Liang) is the only kombatant at the moment, two otherMortal Kombatcharacters should soon be joining him.
According to a leaker called Loolo,Fortnite’s encrypted files not only reveal Scorpion, but another unidentifiableMortal Kombatcharacter that will be added to the game. The leaker also states thatFortnitewill be getting aMortal KombatLTM. ManyFortnitefans are likely already aware that Scorpion, the foil to Sub-Zero and arguably the best-knownMortal Kombatcharacter, is coming to the game from a leak in February. Theleak was of MythicMortal KombatitemsforFortnite, which included the previously mentioned Sub-Zero item as well as Scorpion’s iconic Hook Spear, all but confirming Hanzo Hasashi’s arrival.
Fortnitefans have been quick to theorize who the potential thirdMortal Kombatcharacter could be, with many thinking it to be Raiden due to his appearance on the ice cream cart from Sub-Zero’s Emote. However, there is a slight chance that neither of theMortal Kombatcharacters will show up until next season, if a specific rumor turns out to be true. According to prominentFortniteleaker Shiina,FortniteChapter 6 Season 3 could be a mini-season, with the season supposedly being only 35 days, which would have it ending on March 29.
More Ninjas Arriving in Fortnite
While the prospect of moreMortal Kombatcrossover content is certainly exciting, it isn’t the only ninja-themed franchise to be dropping intoFortnite. Yet another leak has potentially revealed that newTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesskins will be inFortnite, this time focusing on the franchise’s iconic villains such as Krang, Bebop, and Rocksteady. While the turtles have previously been featured inMortal Kombatdeveloper Netherrealm Studios' other fighting franchiseInjustice,TMNTandMortal Kombatwill be in the same game together, leaving no shortage of crossover ninja-type characters inFortnite.
