The popular battle royale game Fortnite is preparing for its upcoming collaboration, this time entering the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender. This collaboration is unique as it connects the Fortnite universe with the acclaimed anime series, which has recently been adapted into a series on Netflix, leaving the world of James Cameron's Avatar untouched.
Details about this new partnership came to light through the findings of a well-known Fortnite leaker, iFireMonkey, who identified references to Avatar in the game's programming. Speculations suggest that Avatar: The Last Airbender will be the theme for Fortnite's next event pass, which is scheduled to follow the current event featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Fortnite is known for its event passes, which are structured to include both free and premium tiers filled with exclusive rewards. These are earned by completing a series of daily and weekly challenges. With previous collaborations featuring giants like Star Wars and Dragon Ball, and considering the timing of the Netflix series debut, Avatar: The Last Airbender seems to fit perfectly into Fortnite's strategy.
The leaks hint at players having the opportunity to earn the skin of Avatar's protagonist, Aang, and have the chance to glide into battle on the back of his loyal sky bison, Appa.
Recently, Fortnite launched its new season with the Fortnite Festival, incorporating elements reminiscent of Guitar Hero and spotlighting celebrities such as Lady Gaga. Additionally, updates have been rolled out across various modes, including Lego Fortnite with a fishing upgrade and a new Time Trial mode in Rocket Racing.
As Fortnite's classic battle royale mode prepares for an impending season themed around Ancient Greece, the collaboration with Avatar: The Last Airbender is set to add a thrilling blend of mythology and elemental bending to the Fortnite universe, drawing in fans from across the globe.
