Fortnite’s latest limited-time mode “Imposters” may seem
familiar to players thanks to its glaring similarities to the wildly successful
indie game Among Us, and now a team member who worked on the game has shared
their thoughts on Epic Games’ Battle Royale’s new mode.
Among Us community director Victoria Tran said she was ‘sad’
that the Among Us team did not get to collaborate with Epic for Fortnite. She
also said that utilizing the same game mechanics isn’t an issue, but she seemed
upset at Epic for repurposing the same themes and terminology. Fortnite
dataminers have been busy at work over the past few hours digging through the
latest 17.40 patch, which dropped earlier today. Respected Fortnite leaker
iFireMonkey shared social media clips and images of various unreleased skins
that were located within the game, including a Morty skin to compliment the
already-released Rick skin from Rick and Morty. An Icon Series skin for
Colombian musician J Balvin, and a skin for movie star Will Smith’s role as
Mike Lowery in the Bad Boys franchise are also reportedly present.
In the case of the Morty skin it will likely launch during
the remainder of this season as the Rick Sanchez cosmetic was a part of the
battle pass from day one. The skin sees Morty don a mecha-suit and its
corresponding cosmetics include a backpack backbling, and a space-snake
pickaxe.
Both the Mike Lowery and J Balvin skins are far simpler,
with the designs intended to resemble the real-life appearance of these two
stars. Both of these characters will seemingly come with a set of associated
cosmetics. For J Balvin these are the “Real” backbling and pickaxe, “In Da
Party” emote and “Balvin Cruiser” glider. Along with the Mike Lowery outfit,
according to the leaks, players can purchase the “Detective’s Duffle” backbling
and “Loose Cannon Cutters” pickaxes. With nothing confirmed by Epic, players
will have to wait before they can get their hands on these skins.
