Fortnite's John Wick skin and LTM details leaked early

Considering John Wick is an assassin, he's not doing a very good job of keeping his upcoming arrival in Fortnite hidden…

www.eurogamer.net

Kinda brilliant marketing for JW3 if you ask me since Fortnite had a skin that players affectionately called "John Wick" due to its resemblance to the action hero.

 

[SkinnerSw33t]

Hah. Don't play Fortnite much, but that's pretty cool.

 

[GrayFoxRJ]

Adverting an adult movie in a game which playerbase is mostly composed of underaged players. yup

Spoiler: ...

 

[RiccochetJ]

Very cool! Although it's kind of funny that they're putting this into a game where a large portion of the players can't go see the movie unless they have a parent or guardian accompanying them.

 

[Spukc]

I like forknife
Can you kill people with a fucking pencil ?

If this were Minecraft than I’d say you have a point. But like halo and cod before it, it’s an adult MP game that just happens to be cool to kids. So this event isn’t wasted on me, my friends or half of youtubers I used to watch that converted to being fortnite streamers.

 

[Nymphae]

it’s an adult MP game that just happens to be cool to kids.

Or is it more a kids MP game that is popular with adults?

 

[Codes 208]

It’s crowded with kids now but that didn’t feel like an issue prior to season 4. When it first started out it certainly was more adult oriented.

On another note, this is actually the second time they’ve added John wick to the game and the first time was fairly successful.

 

[God Enel]

99% of the fortnite players are like 10 years old. What’s the movie rating?

He should’ve been into mortal Kombat

Remember when robocop, toxic avenger, alien, terminator etc, where marketed towards kids? Ah the good old days.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

BORING

What they really need is a Keanu Reeves skin

A hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength? Doesn’t ring a bell.

even thou I don't play Mortal Kombat, I can see this being pretty awesome if done right. the Fatality can be the pencil lol

 

[J-Roderton]

Thought that was already done, now I guess it was never officially John Wick. Kinda neat I guess.

Still not playing that shit game.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Did anyone think the new John Wick movie was good or not? I'm thinking of taking Kojima's daughter out on a date and wanna know if it's the right kind of movie for a first date. She doesn't like Fortnite which is a huge turn-on for me.

Lol. Dude. Your penis is way too small. Turn back now.

Fake John Wick meets real John Wick

 

[Hinedorf]

John Wick deserves much better than Fortnite

 

[Werewolf Jones]

I dropped this game then jumped on Apex but Apex is letting me down right now with how slow content updates are.... Is it time for me to return?

 

[MrS]

John Wick deserves much better than Fortnite

On the contrary, Fortnite deservers much better than John Wick.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Remember when robocop, toxic avenger, alien, terminator etc, where marketed towards kids? Ah the good old days.

Isn't that back when kids went outside and knew the difference between the real world and the cyber-safehaven they live in?

Robocop, alien and terminator were so violent and ultra-violent in a time when people saw it as almost 'funny' but we all knew real life was, well, real life.

Look at the snowflakes nowadays. No way in hell would I want them to see a Robocop or play Soldier of Fortune, they'd all turn into mass murderers or would become catatonic from sheer panic

 

[EverydayBeast]

I like what Fortnight has, I just don't think this fad will last, pressure is on them to release updates, how well does it do without DLC?

 

[Gamernyc78]

It's cool how the assassin hotel from the movie is in the game and when you enter it you automatically lose the ability to kill others just like how it was a neutral zone in the movie. Those little details.

Fad? Shit is already at Season 9 and as popular as ever. It might have reached its Zenith but this beast isn't going nowhere. It's already been a couple of years ppl have been playing, it isn't a fad.

This. I'm not a Fortnite (outside Save the World) player, but the short dick bullshit on GAF is tiresome.

 

[PleaseDontBanMe]

Fortnite is cancer

 

[Wings 嫩翼翻せ]

The marketing is brilliant. It caught my attention. I need not mention how I feel about the game itself.

 

[Ailynn]

I've earned every seasons Victory Royal umbrella since I started, and I've wanted a solid black victory umbrella ever since I started playing during season 4 when it released on Switch.

None of my friends play this, and the Wick's Bounty limited time mode is seemingly impossible to solo.

 

[Deleted member 738976]

John Wick vs. Thanos

 

[CloudStrife_ca]

If I still played Fortnite I'd be tempted to get the John Wick skin but I haven't played in over 6 months.

 

[Sqorin Hammerfarf]

Fortnite is increasingly being used for cross media promotions. While it can be fun sometimes, it is getting to the point where I feel like I’m playing more ads than Fortnite.

I’ve got one and got to get one for my son over the weekend if you want. I’m happy to team up with a fellow gaffer.

Keep trying, I won yesterday with auto fill and some randoms. I've atually noticed tht more often than not I've been randomly grouped with good players that try to win.

I am glad these cross collaborations exist, it keeps the game fresh and adds ideas which devs use to create different modes. Otherwise this game would be more stagnant. It's cool to see how they pull it off and how good epic is at implementing these collabos.

Thank you so much! My free time this weekend will be a bit erratic, but I highly appreciate the offer and will let you know if I find the time. Do you play on Switch too, or are you on PC, Xbox, or PS4?

 

[Roitorb]

I mainly play on Xbox one but do have access to it on Switch as well.

I got my black umbrella with randos, it's doable Ailynn.

Brilliant marketing a 17+ movie in a game only played by 1 2 year olds.

 

[Woo-Fu]

Very cool! Although it's kind of funny that they're putting this into a game where a large portion of the players can't go see the movie unless they have a parent or guardian accompanying them.

Maybe that's the entire point. Selling the kid on the movie means two ticket sales instead of just one.

 

[kraspkibble]

haven't touched Fortnite in forever but this is kinda cool. not worth downloading the entire game for it though.

Brilliant marketing a 17+ movie in a game only played by 1 2 year olds.

i think you'll find plenty of 12 year old boys are into movies like this so yeah i agree it's brilliant marketing.

oh and loads of adults play the game too.

tell me, how much did you pay for Fortnite Battle Royale?

also it's a limited time event...chill.

YES!!! Finally just got it going solo after they switched the mode from Squads to Duos. Probably the most intense game I've had over the past 5 seasons!

EviLore , Gamernyc78 , Roitorb - Thanks so much for the words of encouragement!
