A well-knownFortniteleaker has a theory about what could be the game’s next crossover:Akira. During the new Chapter 4 Season 2 update,Fortnitegamers will explore a region akin to Japan, and taking into account the cyberpunk-ish feeling of the launch video, this collaboration could happen soon.Fortnitehas numerous leakers who keep creating content that engages the fan base. Among them, HYPEX is one of the biggest ones, and they are seldom wrong about their predictions. Recently, HYPEX confirmed leaked information on the upcomingAttack on Titancrossoverthat will happen onFortniteChapter 4 Season 2. Together with leaker ShiinaBR, they discovered that an Eren Yeager skin will be available and that players may get the Scout Regime Salute emote after the update.RELATED:Fortnite’s Latest Update Features Major Competitive Mode ChangesIn a recent tweet, HYPEX points out thatthe new season ofFortnitecould feature a “collaboration” with Akira. Their indication of that is a specific shot in the official video, which can be seen around the 52-second mark in the clip. In it, the character is riding a bike in the new cyberpunk city and makes the exact same pose as the protagonist in the famous movie. As even the Chief Creative Officer at Epic Games, Donald Mustard commented about it, there’s a high chance that HYPEX is correct.
Akirais widely recognized as one of themost important anime movies ever. Not only the title is one of the best cyberpunk movies ever made, but it also helped Japanese animations to become famous all over the world during the 90s, paving the way for their current global success. The scene cited by HYPEX is perhaps the most famous scene in the entire movie and has been referenced dozens of times since its creation, which prompted a few Twitter users to argue that it didn’t necessarily mean that a crossover is coming up. It’s still too early to tell, but givenFortnite’s disposition for these crossover events, the suggestion is also hard to ignore.
In relatedFortniteannouncements, the new update also comes with some unfortunate news for players who still use old operating systems. Gamers who useWindows 7/8 to playFortnitecan’t do it anymore, starting today. The change is due to necessary upgrades that require more power from computers. At the moment, affected players can either upgrade their operating systems or try out Nvidia GeForce Now, which allows them to play on PC via streaming.
Fortniteis available on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
