Fortnite

The fifth season of Fortnite contains all sorts of crossovers with different universes. The last newcomers are Ryu and Chun-Li from Street Fighter, as well as Ripley and the Xenomorph from Alien .. In the trailer for the two Street Fighter characters you can see an old Street Fighter II arcade, from which Jonesy Chun-Li and Ryu whisked away into the world of Fortnite. Along with the two characters, two new emotes have also been added to the game. Chun-Lis Hyakuretsukyaku and Ryus Shoryuken can now be used by players - without the usual button combinations.

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 may be DC-themed

Recently, a leak surrounding DC characters coming to Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 went viral on Twitter. The Batman x Fortnite mini-series is predicted to feature several iconic DC characters, but that is not all.

Popular Fortnite Youtubers and data miners have been trying their best to uncover what lies ahead in Season 6. From all that has surfaced, it looks like Epic Games is setting up a major narrative based on the DC comics.

While it might not replicate the events of Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4 featuring Marvel hero characters coming to Fortnite, this could point to the next big supervillain coming to Fortnite.

The Batman x Fortnite collaboration is going to introduce six Fortnite comic books based on a new storyline. These comics will follow a narrative with Batman in the center.

However, Batman has lost his memory and doesn't remember how he came to Fortnite Island.

This latest collaboration between DC and Epic Games is entitled Batman x Fortnite: Zero Point.

According to the press release by DC, 'Zero Point is a six-issue limited series scripted by Christos Gage (Spider-Geddon), based on a concept and story consultation from Epic's Chief Creative Officer Donald Mustard.'

The series will focus on three specific characters from the DC Universe - Batman, Catwoman, and Harley Quinn. DC also informed that Batman is in a state of forgetfulness. This mimics the events of Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4, where Thor lost his memory after initially coming to the island.

This memory loss might be a plot-turner in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6. Batman can summon members of the Justice League or characters from the Bat-family. It definitely adds to the range of narrative possibilities Epic can experiment with.

At the same time, the Zero Point was mentioned in the press release from DC. This means that Agent Jonesy and his band of hunters will not be able to get rid of the Zero Point in Chapter 2 Season 5.

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 is right around the corner, with endless possibilities. Only time will tell if this DC collaboration will introduce the power-hungry supervillain Darkseid.
