Summary

  • Epic Games plans an extensive Mortal Kombat update on April 1 with new content, quests, and a Klassic Kombat Bundle.
  • Fortnite introduces Mortal Kombat characters Scorpion, Kitana, and Raiden in new crossover content.
  • Players can fight a boss version of Scorpion inside of Mortal Kombat points of interest on the map like The Living Forest.

Epic Games reveals new Mortal Kombat content available in Fortnite, including the arrival of iconic fighters Scorpion, Kitana, and Raiden. Crossovers have become a major element in Fortnite over the previous few years, as each chapter in a season typically includes at least a few characters representing other IPs and franchises.

Fortnite has already seemingly made the impossible happen, bringing first-party characters like Kratos from God of War and Master Chief from Halo into the battle royale. Chapter 6 Season 2 has even managed to bring Mortal Kombat into the battle royale, letting Fortnite players unlock Sub-Zero once they get towards the end of the seasonal battle pass. However, Sub-Zero appears to only be the beginning of this crossover as Epic Games has finally revealed a wave of even more Mortal Kombat content coming on April 1.

Fortnite: How to Get Free Mortal Kombat Cosmetics

Players can unlock free Mortal Kombat cosmetics in Fortnite for free before they hit the Item Shop, but they must act fast.

By 

As players have already discovered, Scorpion is available to purchase from the Fortnite Shop, letting players add to their collection. However, Epic Games is planning an even bigger Mortal Kombat- infused update on April 1, including a new quest line based on the iconic franchise. In addition, Epic will be selling a "Klassic Kombat Bundle" as well, including MK3 outfits for Scoprion, Kitana, and Raiden, along with pickaxes, emotes, and back blings based on these fighters. Finally, there's also a Lamborghini Countach + Scorpion & Sub-Zero Bundle to add Mortal Kombat flair to the vehicle.

Fortnite Adds Iconic Mortal Kombat Points of Interest to the Map

Alongside the characters and new content, Epic Games will also be transforming parts of the current Battle Royale map, bringing in iconic stages from Mortal Kombat. Three new landmarks will be added on April 1 as points of interest on the map based on The Pit, The Living Forest, and The Dead Pool. Players will also find a boss version of Scorpion waiting in one of these locations during matches and if players can defeat him, they'll earn the Mythic Scorpion’s Kombat Kit and the First Blood Medallion. As expected, these allow the wearer to throw a spear, pull an enemy in, and then perform a combo attack on them.

Speaking of crossovers, rumors continue to swirl about the next season. Recent rumors indicate that Star Wars and Fortnite may be collaborating again starting on May 2nd in advance of the traditional "May the Fourth" franchise holiday. It's unknown which characters could be included in this new collaboration, but it is rumored that Season 3 could be the shortest one in Fortnite's history, lasting only 35 days.
