If Epic Games is ever looking to turn Fortnite into an actual fighting game, they’re starting to build out quite the roster.
The company just announced that Mortal Kombat’s Scorpion will be coming very soon to Fortnite, and he apparently won’t be alone.
Epic released a new trailer of sorts today showcasing a fighting game character select screen with this season’s skins.
Sub-Zero is of course there because he’s already in the game, but now Scorpion is on the screen too.
Moreover, there’s two more “?” character skins on the screen, and we get a brief teaser pretty much confirming Raiden and Kitana are joining the battle royale too.
The post implies these premium skins are coming to Fortnite this Friday, March 28, so there won’t be much of a wait to see more.
This of course isn’t the first time we’ve seen fighting game characters in the popular online shooter either since Street Fighter’s Ryu, Chun-Li, Sakura and corporate Blanka were made available previously.
And then there’s been fighting game-related skins too over the years for Marvel, Dragon Ball and more.
So we are going to see Scorpion and Ryu duke it out finally in an official game, but they’ll be doing it with guns instead of their fists.
