Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 has brought a new Japanese-themed world. The Battle Pass features several exciting elements, including incredible skins, pickaxes, back blings, posters, and emotes, all for just 1000 V-Bucks. You can check this article to find out which skins the Battle Pass offers and what collaborations Epic has already cooked for the season.
Recently, the famous Fortnite leaker, HYPEX, announced that Epic is planning to bring one of the most highly anticipated skins to the game: the extremely famous successful World Cup winner, Lionel Messi. It’s now happened, and he has joined the community of popular athletes such as LeBron James, Harry Kane, Neymar Jr, Shaq, and more. Looking at the item shop, he is now purchasable for 2,800 V-Bucks for the whole bundle. The bundle offers one athlete-style, with the ability to turn into silver and golden lion skin, and one casual-style of Messi, along with two remarkable emotes, one is a goat shouting Messi, two pickaxes, and two interesting back blings. While now unavailable, the skin is a collector’s item, with many players having to resort to buying a Fortnite account with rare skins in order to get it. By bringing Messi, Epic will be able to provide more sports-related elements; perhaps exclusive quests and game modes could easily appeal to football fans.
As Messi joined the game, fans remain eager to hear another possible announcement from the company about bringing the other greatest football player, Cristiano Ronaldo. Surely, his addition would create massive attention for to the game, specifically Ronaldo’s unique ”Siu” celebration could be absolutely thrilling.
Fortnite’s Other Collabs
Aside from Messi, many more collaborations are either in the game at the moment or will join the Fortnite universe shortly.
- Fortnite Kicks: The collab features a variety of well-designed boots, accessible for most skins. Even for some skins, such as Godzilla, which perhaps shouldn’t support shoes, players can still equip the Nike boots. One of the downfalls, however, is the high price for each pair of shoes. Spending 1,000 V-bucks on a single design is not something players desire to do. Perhaps, Epic could reduce the prices in future updates.
- Cars: At the moment, car brands such as BMW, Porsche, Tesla’s Cybertruck, Ferrari, and so on are available in the game, each coming back to the item shop periodically. But, a new collab with Disney’s Cars animation would bring Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater, possibly as usable vehicles.
- Cyberpunk 2077: According to leakers, Fortnite is going to involve Cyberpunk 2077 elements – certainly skins and cosmetics, and presumably vehicles and weapons – in the near future. Bringing advanced technological elements to Chapter 6 Season 1 could create an interesting contrast that players often enjoy encountering in the game.
- Spider-Verse: By looking at the item shop, you can now easily access Fortnite‘s collab with the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse animation. One bundle, priced at 3,800 V-Bucks, rewards you with Nior, Spider-Punk, and Peter B. Punker, along with many other items. Another bundle, priced at a lower level of 2,600 V-Bucks, features Mile Morales and Spider-Man 2099 as the main skins, followed by pickaxes, back blings, posters, and emotes.
- Avatar: An intriguing future collab would be bringing aliens of the Avatar movie. Item shop would be an ideal place for blue-colored skins of Jake Sully and maybe Neytiri. Adding Pandora floating islands, similar to current spawn islands, could also increase the excitement.
- The Simpsons: One of the most highly anticipated collabs is definitely The Simpsons. Perhaps, a gym-styled Homer in the Springfield location, similar to Family Guy‘s star, the buffed Peter Griffin back in Chapter 5 Season 1 with his exclusive POI, mythic weapon, and medallion, could be an excellent choice to bring back memories. Fans hope to see skins of other The Simpsons family, particularly Bart.
- Licenced songs: Not only does the item shop offer various skins and bundles, but it also provides a selection of licenced songs from extremely popular singers. Each song is priced at 500 V-Bucks, and you can access tracks from Juice WRLD, Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Katy Parry, Lady Gaga, and many more. These songs can be played while driving a vehicle.
