Fortnite is probably one of the biggest games of all time in the history of video games, the creativity and freedom granted by Epic Games in a competitive multiplayer structure with constant collaborations with industry icons ranging from music, films, comics, and more are unparalleled. Fans have yet to find any reason to abandon the game, and it is a gift that keeps on giving.
The item shop is constantly being updated with items that are available for players to purchase with their hard-earned V-Bucks and the choices are quite compelling. Iconic mascots from rival gaming companies like Xbox and PlayStation have already made their way to the battle royale game, and it seems like some are making a huge comeback.
Fortnite Is Bringing Back The God of War For The Weeknd
The famous singer and songwriter known as The Weeknd will also be returning to the in-game item shop which will be an opportune moment for fans of his to acquire him as a cosmetic item in the game.

These cosmetic items represent that the user wearing them has something that defaults do not, and serve as a massive right to brag and flex in each match. It is quite a compelling choice to save up and buy Kratos as soon as his section in the item shop gets refreshed, especially when fans ultimately choose God of War: Ragnarok as the best PlayStation game.
Acquiring skins can also serve as a tactical advantage that can blend well in certain environments in the colorful map of Fortnite. It can also help throw off opponents and drop their guard upon seeing famous singers and iconic PlayStation heroes roaming around scot-free, and the other parties involved with this collaboration will be thrilled knowing that their franchises and art are being introduced to a new audience.
Fortnite’s Collaborative Nature Is Their Greatest Asset
The return of the God of War is perfect timing, players can now reenact the famous scenes from the previous Santa Monica Studio games where Kratos challenges his father Zeus who is an in-game boss at the moment. The Greek pantheon is now shaking under the might of being crushed once again by players under the guise of the Ghost of Sparta.
Fortnite’s collaborative nature with other popular franchises has benefitted them well, players are now waiting for the long-awaited crossover with Avatar: The Last Airbender which gained a significant increase of interest from the general public due to the success of the live-action Netflix adaptation.
Different groups of fanbases can now find common ground in Fortnite where they can use their favorite characters from various media while their in-game item shop offers great options from a wider catalog. The amount of strings that were pulled just to bring these items back could have cost a fortune, and players should take advantage while they can before the Weeknd and Kratos get pulled out again.
