Summary
A newFortniteleak has revealed concept art of an in-game skin inspired by theDie Hardmovie franchise. A collaboration betweenFortniteandDie Hardwas under wraps years ago before eventually being binned.
Being a live-service game,Fortnitepushes out loads of content regularly, at times teaming up with other notable franchises to bring new themed cosmetic content for its players. As a result, it has collaborated with several different IPs over the years and added new skins inspired by characters like Solid Snake fromMetal Gear, Magneto fromX-Men, and Kratos fromGod of War, among others. Recently, a new concept skin has surfaced online that reveals what thecanceledFortnite/Die Hardcrossoverwould have looked like.
According to theleaked images shared by insider iFireMonkey, developer Epic Games was working on concepts for a variety ofFortniteskinsat one point, including a skin based onDie Hardprotagonist John McClane. As expected, the designs bear a strong resemblance to Bruce Willis, the actor who played the iconic character. The concept images show four different versions of McClane that pay homage to his looks in the 1988 film. Keeping in line with the material of the movie, he is depicted as wearing a white tank top, a black tank top, shirtless, and shirtless with bandages on his back. In all the character concepts, McClane is equipped with a red ax and is not wearing any shoes.
Leaked Fortnite Concepts Show More Early Character Skins
Apart from the John McClane skin, concept art for various other popular characters is included in the leak. This list boasts some popular franchises, includingFamily Guy,Alien, andPredator. While characters from these IPs made it into the game eventually, the differences between the early concept and their final appearance are noticeable upon comparison. Interestingly, the leaked concept also reveals that the battle royale game was once set to get a fat Peter Griffin skin – just like his look in the show – instead of themuscular counterpart of theFamily Guycharacterthat was shipped into the game earlier this year.
Even thoughDie Hard’s John McClane doesn’t look like he’ll find his way ontoFortniteanytime soon, there are certain other highly popular characters expected to arrive soon in the multiplayer game. The latest development suggests that a duo ofMCU superheroes may get their ownFortniteskinsin the coming weeks. With several Marvel characters having already appeared in the game before, this would mark another chance for fans to expand their superhero skin collection.
