Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine from Capcom‘s beloved Resident Evil games now come to Fortnite, purchasable via the in-game store!
Considering Fortnite was originally pitched as a minecraft-esque zombie survival before making the switch to Battle Royale, it’s about time Epic Games had the bright idea to crossover Fortnite with one of the most iconic zombie game franchises out there. Not to mention the Horde Mode’s return alongside the addition of Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead.
Chris and Jill are part of S.T.A.R.S, the Special Tactics and Rescue Service, which invariably leads less often to rescue and more often to shooting various flavours of ne’er do wells in the face, ranging from zombie dogs, to zombie people, to crazed cult people, and sometimes even crazed zombie cult people. He wrestles boulders in his spare time while on a mission to save the president’s daughter, she narrowly escapes brain-consumption from the undead masses to be cautioned after on the possibility of becoming a “Jill sandwich”. Could I make it any more obvious?
If Fortnite’s recent zombie craze has got you hankering for more undead tomfoolery, we have good deals on: The Walking Dead Definitive Edition, The Last of Us 2 and more good zombie games here at Go2Games.
Both are available in multiple skins and different harvesting tools are available. You can rep Chris’s Baby-Stealing leather trenchcoat from Resident Evil Village or his Resident Evil 5 look if you wanna be more vanilla. You can also cop Jill’s Raccoon City and business-casual get-ups from Resident Evil 3. The power tools you can whip out include a super hot knife that would make Kano blush (it could probably cut through a Fire Nation ship, leaving thousands to drown at sea… Because it’s so sharp) and an electric stun rod if you’re feeling like experimenting in the bedr- I mean battlefield. The back blings are references to in-game mechanics, such as the typewriter as a saving location and the infamous hand-regrowing herbs for all your barely-escaped torturous boss fight needs.
Overall, pretty good-looking stuff, but considering Venom eventually dropped with a whole movie combo bundle after Let There Be Carnage, I’d advise waiting till the Raccoon City film drops or closer to the time (November 24th) to see if Epic will throw in extra movie-specific skins if you want more bang for your Vbuck.
