Skins of Matrix characters in Fortnite? Plums, release date and more
Leaks hint at a set of Matrix-inspired skins coming to Fornite with movie release Matrix: Resurrection, which will be released in December. Here's everything we know.
We've seen a lot of unexpected crossovers in Fortnite lately, with characters like League of Legends' Jinx and the popular Naruto Anime Character, arriving at the battle royale island.
Next, the leaks suggest Epic Games will be working with Warner Bros to bring a set of Matrix-inspired skins to the island ahead of release. Matrix: Resurrection.
Here's everything we currently know about the potential Fortnite x Matrix crossover.
Release date for The Matrix/Fortnite skins
According to a famous Fortnite informant hypex, his sources told him that the Fortnite x Matrix collaboration is scheduled for the second half of December. The event will supposedly include skins for the two main characters Neo and Trinity.
With The Matrix: Resurrections set to release on December 22nd, we should expect the Fortnite and Matrix crossover to release at almost the same time.
We cannot guarantee a release date for this event. However, it would be safe to assume that the skins will release on the same day as the movie on December 22nd.
What can the Matrix collaboration with Fortnite bring?
As with previous collaborations, we should expect a skin bundle that will cost 2000 V-Bucks in the Item Shop. In past Fortnite crossovers, we've seen two skins, two back decorations, and a loading screen included in the bundle.
There may also be a Gear Bundle included, which will likely contain two pickaxes and an emote. If emotion is likely to be a re-creation of the iconic "bullet dodge" movement we see at the turning point in the first film.
Leaked Fortnite & Matrix collabs
Earlier in 2021, YouTube star Alistair "Ali-A" Aiken was sent a package from Epic Games that hinted at crossover skins coming to the game in the future. A list of words was included that could be interpreted as hints about what is to come.
The list included words that could be related to the Terminator, the Mandalorian, and many more that have since been released in Fortnite. But among the list was the word "Candy", which could be interpreted as the red and blue pill we see in The Matrix.
The quirky collaborations we've seen in the past show that nothing is alien or impossible for Epic Games. The Matrix and Fortnite skins will be a crossover that fans will want to get their hands on.
