Fortnite OG: Chapter 1 Season 1 – Gameplay Trailer
Fortnite is bringing back its classic Battle Royale mode with Chapter 1, Season 1, showcasing gameplay from how the game used to be.
In a recent Reddit post, user JJGG_ posted a picture of the new Peter B. Parker skin and called it the “disappointment of the year.” The new skin was released alongside Spider-Man Noir and Spider-Punk. While fans were quick to pile praise upon the punk and noir variants, Peter B. Parker and his bathrobe have been ridiculed by fans. It would seem that players were hoping for an edit style with Spider-Man’s classic look with the Across the Spider-Verse animation style. Fans also mentioned that they would have liked his look from the first movie with a coat and sweatpants. While many players noted that Spider-Man’s blue and red suit has been released before, they were quick to point out that Fortnite‘s Deadpool and Wolverine collaboration re-released old characters with a new art style.
Fans Are Disappointed With Fortnite’s Peter B. Parker
Much of the disappointment with the skin seems to involve the way battle passes function. A classic red and blue Spider-Man outfit was released in a battle pass for Chapter 3. Since the skin was part of a pass, it is unobtainable for players who missed that opportunity. The battle royale has since released a wide variety of Spider-Man skins, but none with a similar style. Fortnite recently changed the way battle pass exclusivity functions, as fans will now be able to acquire the skins 18 months after the pass ends. However, this change will not apply to previous battle passes.
Despite this bump in the road, Fortnite has enjoyed a lot of success recently. The game’s Chapter 2 OG Remix finale featured Snoop Dogg and broke Fortnite‘s concurrent player count. The battle royale has also been busy stacking up similar collaborations with Big Hero 6 and Godzilla, both of which feature skins in the latest battle pass. Fortnite is even crossing over with Marvel Rivals when the game launches on Friday, December 6. With so many collaborations on the way, fans are hopeful that upcoming skins will grab their attention.
