Fortnite players divided over Michael Myers skin adding \u201cserial killer to a kids game\u201d Epic GamesThe much awaited Michael Myers skin has arrived in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 and fans of the Halloween film franchise are thrilled to get their hands on the cosmetic set. On the other hand, the community is divided due to this as they find it inappropriate adding a \u201cserial killer to a kids game\u201d. Fortnite\u2019s annual Halloween event, Fortnitemares 2023, is winding down, and to mark the occasion, Epic Games has released three new skins based on well-known pop culture icons. This included Alan Wake, Jack Skellington, and Michael Myers. Michael Myers, the serial killer featured in John Carpenter\u2019s Halloween films, is infamous for his stealthy and ruthless pursuit of his victims. Everyone knows who this is as soon as they see him, thus Fortnite players and fans of slasher thriller movies have been raving about his new skin in the game. This cosmetic bundle includes the masked Michael Myers skin, a Pumpkin Back Bling, and Michael\u2019s Signature Slasher Knife, redesigned as a Pickaxe. However, the most interesting aspect of the cosmetic pack is the emote in which the serial killer performs the Halloween theme on a keyboard. Fans of the film series are understandably ecstatic, but the inclusion of a serial killer in a kid\u2019s game has drawn criticism from some quarters. Here\u2019s how the community is split. Fortnite players divided over Michael Myers skin On October 25, 2023, players were able to purchase the Michael Myers outfit for 1,500 V-Bucks and the cosmetic bundle for 1,800 V-Bucks from the Item Shop, as announced by Epic Games. The bundle is still available to purchase and is here to stay until Fortnitemares ends. Ever since, the release of the skin has caused quite a stir among players on social media as several users are against the collaboration entirely. One such user posted on X and said, \u201cThey\u2019re adding Michael Myers to Fortnite. A serial killer to a kids game. Just another serious and cool character ruined.\u201d A similar user chimed in, \u201cDo they not know what Michael does?\u201d However, on the opposing end, fans of the Halloween film franchise showed their joy and gratitude to Epic. A fan replied to the original post by saying, \u201cGonna be a killer good time\u201d. Another one commented, \u201cPurely and simply\u2026 evil\u201d. While this year\u2019s Halloween event failed to captivate players, the inclusion of these new collaboration skins has piqued the community\u2019s interest in playing the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
