With the Winterfest right on the edge, Fortnite will reportedly get popular basketball player Giannis Antetokounmpo according to the latest leaks later attested by the teaser from Epic Gamers themselves. Great news for Fortnite players who can now enjoy a little flavour of NBA when they play the game.
The former Milwaukee Bucks player will definitely make it to the game however we do not have a timeline. Epic did not announce an exact date for its release but it is predicted that the update will make it to the game by this month as a part of the Winterfest pack and he will not be the only NBA player in the game.
However, in 2021, Epic partnered with National Basketball Association to bring in one of the all-time greats in LeBron James to the game. It has been one of their most successful ventures to date and marked the beginning of several collaborations to traditional sports.
Fortnite x Giannis Antetokounmpo
Giannis Antetokounmpo is an accomplished Basketball player who is presumed to come as a total bundle with an icon series skin followed by a pickaxe and several other items including events and quests for the players to enjoy. However, it can cost somewhere north of 2000 V-Bucks.
Previously we saw LeBron get the same treatment and Epic Games managed to profit from it so it is likely that Antetokounmpo will get the same treatment and will likely build upon the success that both NBA and Epic Games enjoyed from their previous venture together.
What Else To Expect During Fortnite x Giannis Antetokounmpo collaboration
It is safe to assume that the update will bring a plethora of benefits for the players like a new skin and several accessories and events. It might be difficult to fit everything into the game at the moment but in the coming Winterfest, with a lot of events concluding, the game might have enough room to fit everything in.
So many new game modes and custom features will make sure that players can enjoy without getting bored and they can make it to the next event without feeling the need for new things in the game.
