Fortnite players demand that Epic bring back the Deadpool skin ahead of the release of the new film. Here’s more on what they said.
Fortniteand Marvel collaborations have proved popular with both players and fans of the franchise. Aside from seasonal or Item Shop collaborations, Battle Pass tie-ins are among the most used by fans, with newer players requesting that Epic offer certain skins in the Item Shop.
Ahead of the film’s release, fan excitement is high sinceDeadpoolis one of the most popular Marvel skins in Fortnite and is fairly uncommon because players who were there during Chapter 2 had the opportunity to claim it.
However, those who joined the game later feel it was a squandered opportunity and are now requesting Epic to add a four-year-old Battle Pass skin to the Item Shop.
Because it has never been done in Fortnite before, players are skeptical that Epic would perform the unthinkable and include Deadpool in the marketplace.
Still, several playersshared their thoughtson the matter, with one person saying, “I wonder how newer Fortnite players will feel like when the new movie drops and they find out they can’t have the original Deadpool skin anymore because it’s locked behind a 4 years old Battle Pass.”
Another one asked, “Begs the question, would y’all be ok if Epic said, we messed up on that, and released previous collab BP skins in the item shop, and just refunded the cost of the BP?” To which someone else responded, “I’d be 100% fine with it.”
