Fortnite has enjoyed a slap-up many high-profile popular-culture crossovers in its life, with characters from the Avengers, Star Wars and DC appearing in Epic Games' seminal battle royale. Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 has already featured the likes of the Mandalorian, his e'er-present companion Baby Yoda (AKA Grogu) and the Predator, and it seems the next iconic grapheme coming to the game could be the Xenomorph from the Alien franchise.

As with past cosmetic crossovers, a portal recently opened upwardly on the island. On Midweek, Fortnite dataminer HYPEX shared a video from the portal, known as "Kepler," which suggested H.R. Giger's terrifying extra-terrestrial could be the adjacent legendary skin to arrive in the game.

In the 45-second video, which depicts the hallway of a spaceship reminiscent of the USM Auriga from Conflicting: Resurrection, familiar tell-tale shrieks and hisses can exist heard, which strongly suggests the Xenomorph is on its way. The theme for Chapter ii Season v has been hunters, then the inclusion of the mortiferous Xenomorph would exist a logical step for Fortnite, especially after the debut of the Alien's long-time nemesis, the Predator, in Jan.

Fortnite leaker Mang0e recently leaked that an blitheness for an extra-large male skin had been added to the game, prompting speculation that Marvel villain Thanos, the only previous Twoscore male skin that existed in Fortnite, could be set up to make a spectacular return to the game. Notwithstanding, following this latest leak and knowing that the Xenomorphs from the Alien serial tend to be significantly larger than the average human, it at present seems much more likely that the Xl pare is indeed the Xenomorph. As for the animation, perchance that could be the Alien'due south trademark piston-like inner jaw, the species' preferred method of killing unfortunate victims in the films.
