There's only that many ways I can joke about another character being added to Fortnite, so I'll cut right to the chase. Jinx from League of Legends may soon be coming to the IP smorgasbord. While this hasn't been officially announced by Epic Games, the news comes via reliable insider Shiina, whose previous reveals have been spot on.
Shiina has revealed that Jinx will be added to the game next week as a promotion for Riot Games' upcoming Arcane TV series, premiering on Netflix on November 6. It's unclear what other items will be coming along with Jinx, but they could be themed around her Fishbones rocket launcher and Mr. Pew Pew minigun.
The Arcane TV series will focus on the city of Piltover, the home of the greatest minds in Runeterra. However, the balance of all things is under threat thanks to the creation of hextech, a way to control magical energy. It will also feature some of LoL's heroes and their backstories. Previous trailers have shown Jinx exploring an abandoned building to find an old boxing machine which she proceeded to beat up and relive some traumatizing memories. Arcane's first episode will be available to co-stream exclusively on Twitch, so you can watch it along with your favourite content creators and even win some in-game drops for Riot games.
As for Fortnite, it's doing the usual thing of devouring any IP it can get its hands on. Most recently, Resident Evil's Chris Redfield And Jill Valentine were added to the game. A number of themed items were also introduced along with the duo, including Green, Red, and Blue Herb back bling, the Saving Keystrokes back bling based on the typewriter save point, and pickaxes based on the Hot Dogger and Stun Rod.
But if anime is your thing, Fortnite may soon be adding the legendary Naruto. This reveal came via another reliable source, Hypex, who claimed that the Natuto ID in the game's source code contained two tags, which most likely meant that Naruto and Sasuke will be announced pretty soon. They also revealed that the mythic explosive Kunai will be added as a weapon and a ramen bowl will feature as a Creative coin.
