Optimus Prime is coming to Fortnite

Epic Games has managed to keep players engaged with Fortnite through a number of means, including but not limited to offering a whole host of crossover skins. The team has now teased next Season’s Battle Pass, including the fact that Optimus Prime will be unlockable.

Making the announcement on Twitter, the official Fortnite page teased some of the character skins that will be made available with the next Season (known as Fortnite WILDS). By far the most interesting inclusion is that of Optimus Prime.

Undoubtedly added to correlate with the new Transformers film, Optimus Prime looks to be shrunken down in order to scale with the rest of the character models – making for a slightly odd appearance, especially when standing next to other skins.

Still, the Optimus skin itself looks to be based on the new Transformers: Rise of the Beasts film – a design which has seemed to resonate with fans. So even if shrunken down Optimus is a bit weird, many fans will undoubtedly be excited by his inclusion.

It will be interesting to see what the character’s ancillary accessories end up being. Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 ‘WILDS’ will begin on the 9th of June.
