Community Reception and Speculation
The Fortnite community’s response to the Alien collaboration has largely been positive. Fans have particularly expressed excitement about the Weyland-Yutani Cat Carrier and about its potential impact on gameplay. There's even speculation about Jonesy's outfit becoming a new skin in the game. Could an Alien vs Predator themed event be on the horizon? While Epic Games hasn't confirmed anything, the presence of both iconic characters in the game suggest such possibilities.
