Fortnite appears to be getting a crossover with upcoming sci-fi epic Dune.
Known Fortnite dataminer HYPEX shared images of a series of cosmetics reportedly on their way to the game. Skins inspired by central characters Paul Atreides and Chani (portrayed in the upcoming film by Timothy Chalamet and Zendaya, respectively) take centre stage, alongside back bling, an Ornithopter glider, and pickaxes based on Paul's Twinblades and Chani's Maker Hooks.

A loading screen depicting the characters and their gear on the desert planet of Arrakis has also been shared. The two characters, dressed in their moisture-capturing Stillsuits, stand in front of a downed Ornithopter. Off in the background, fan-favourite skin Fishsticks takes on the role of the sandworm, which is bad news for the battle bus.
