Recent leaks from prominent Fortnite data miners and legacy leakers, including @NotPaloleaks and @kyoshiro10969, hint at a thrilling collaboration between Epic Games and Major League Baseball (MLB), potentially featuring superstar Shohei Ohtani. Known for their innovative partnerships, Epic Games’ move into the realm of professional baseball would align with their track record of working with high-profile brands.
Rumors of a Fortnite Collaboration with MLB Icon Shohei Ohtani
Speculation around this collaboration has been fueled by the discovery of a unique Fortnite promotional poster. According to @kyoshiro10969, the poster features the game’s logo in an unusual blue hue, with the letters “I”and “E”fashioned to resemble the number 17 in a striking red color.
The blue tones of the logo echo those of the Los Angeles Dodgers, a connection that is not merely coincidental, as the number 17 corresponds to the jersey worn by Ohtani, the star pitcher and designated hitter. His dual-threat prowess makes him a fitting choice for Epic Games as they venture into the baseball domain.
As of now, Epic Games has remained silent regarding any official announcements about this potential collaboration involving Shohei Ohtani. Fans must keep an eye out for updates to confirm these exciting rumors.
Interestingly, the ongoing Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 includes a baseball bat item, which may foreshadow the arrival of the baseball legend himself. This sets an ideal foundation for an expansion into baseball-themed content.
Players can look forward to new in-game items, such as skins, back blings, pickaxes, and potentially more, should this collaboration come to fruition.
