Epic Games has confirmed a Dead Space crossover has become reside in Fortnite, with Isaac Clark available like a playable character.
The Strange Transmissions Quest Pack went live yesterday (January 23) and includes the Isaac Clark costume alongside a personalised life-monitoring system RIG Back Bling, a transportable planet cracker USG Ishimura Back Bling and his iconic Plasma Cutter.
The Dead Space bundle sets players back lb9.99 but also includes as much as 1500 V-Bucks, which may be earned via special Dead Space-inspired quests.
The Fortnite crossover comes in front of the discharge of EA Motive's Dead Space Remake, that is going to be out January 27.
According to a recently revealed list of in-game achievements, the remake will feature an “alternative ending” though no further details happen to be revealed.
Last year it was confirmed the Dead Space Remake will include “hundreds” of potential encounters designed to scare players who're revisiting previously-explored regions of the game.
“Now you're not traversing through trams or having breaks between chapters, that was something which we wanted to do in order to boost the immersion,” explained senior producer Philippe Ducharme. “Dead Space was an amazing game for immersion, how can we push that?”
Ducharme continued to inform NME the team wanted to avoid doing anything that would “offend hardcore fans” from the original game.
Elsewhere in Fortnite, it's been confirmed that The Kid LAROI is set to preview upcoming single 'Love Again' alongside three, unreleased tracks via a new experience.
Set to produce on Friday, the Wild Dreams experience is “an immersive, interactive musical experience portraying LAROI's journey from humble beginnings to headlining sold-out performances like a worldwide superstar.”
In other news, ResetEra, among the world's largest gaming forums, has banned all reference to Hogwarts Legacy because of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowlings' reported anti-trans views.
“We kept coming back to the straightforward fact that Rowling is not only a bigot but is actively pushing, in her own position like a wealthy and famous individual, for legislation which will hurt trans people,” said an argument in the mod team.
