Fortnite may soon add Spawn, another comic book character, to its impressive lineup of skins. The creator of the antihero recently talked about the potential collaboration, revealing some interesting details. Considering that the popular video game already has numerous comic book characters, adding Spawn would certainly be on-brand.
Todd McFarlane created Spawn in 1992 after drawing for both DC and Marvel. More than three decades later, the character is still popular and the latest issue of the comic was released on February 12.
Will Spawn come to Fortnite?
The collaboration between McFarlane and Epic Games hasn’t been announced yet. However, the comic book creator has expressed a desire to bring his popular character to Fortnite. In fact, he’s already had a conversation with Epic, and it seems that there is mutual interest.
“I had that conversation with them [Epic Games] because I was making toys,” McFarlane told The Direct. “I also have a toy company, and we’re making some of the Fortnite toys. So I was like, ‘Hey, you know, if you need any characters. I’m easy. I got like gobs of them. I’ll lend them to you.’ But I didn’t know. Behind closed doors, they were already just about to launch all that themselves. So it was a little bit like, ‘We got Marvel, DC. And everything else. Don’t worry about it. We’ll get to you.'”
The comic-book creator admitted that Spawn wasn’t as popular as other characters Fortnite has added, like Batman or Superman. However, one thing that could make the antihero popular is the promotion in different media, including video games. “Maybe it’s time for me to pick up the phone and remind them [Epic Games] that I’m still here off in the corner,” McFarlane added.
Interestingly, Epic has added several other franchises owned by Image Comics, including The Walking Dead and Invincible. Spawn might be next in line, and while the collab hasn’t been confirmed yet, we hope that it will arrive soon.
