Fortnite Season 2 Trailer Teases Deadpool Crossover

The Fortnite Chapter 2 - Season 2 Battle Pass is finally here and it looks to be filled with agents, game modes and skins. Since the announcement of Fortnite Chapter 2, there has been brewing anticipation for what it would bring. The Battle Pass that accompanies the chapter will excite fans even more as it seems to confirm the appearance of beloved Marvel character Deadpool.

Fortnite has undoubtedly been the most successful Battle Royale game, and this has been because of its accessible nature, the ability to build and of course the fun of being the last team or individual standing. The inclusion of crossover events and skins has increasingly become commonplace in the game and with the success of previous skin placements, it would not be a surprise to see the famous Deadpool come to the title.

The Fortnite Chapter 2 - Season 2 Battle Pass trailer reveals a host of new features and stakes that will be included. Yet the end of the trailer has a heavy-handed, pulled picture of Deadpool. The obvious nature of the image use would suggest that the skin of the character will be available with the new Battle Pass. Crossover marketing has been successful for the game before, with films like Star Wars and Birds of Prey taking advantage of the platform. With this in mind, many will wonder whether a new Deadpool film will be around the corner after this trailer.

The Battle Royale phenomenon has utilized comic book crossovers before to keep fans entertained. Alongside secret agents which have plenty of nods to famous spy films such as the James Bond series, it looks like there will be plenty for fans to explore in the new Battle Pass. There is also the promise of game modes having an impact on the map which will undoubtedly excite existing players. However, most importantly it may encourage new players and gamers who have left the title to get involved.

Fortnite had a huge drop in revenue in January and the inclusion of Deadpool may not suggest a new film, but rather the developers of the game finding new ways to bring players to the title. Why Deadpool is included and how he can be unlocked remains to be seen, but for now, there looks like there is plenty for players to enjoy in Fortnite Chapter 2 and even more fun inside the Battle Pass.
