To celebrate the upcoming Netflix series “Arcane”, Epic Games and Riot Games are teaming up to bring a new skin to Fortnite: the well-known and beloved LoL character Jinx is making her way into the shooter.
Previously, there have been some crossovers in Fortnite, with characters like Batman and a Psycho from Borderlands already joining the shooter. Now, the popular champion Jinx from League of Legends will also appear as a skin in the game.
The YouTuber Fortnite Bruh shows you the skin in-game and how it looks when you use emotes (via YouTube).
When can you get the skin? The skin is expected to arrive between November 1 and 7. It is speculated that it could come on November 6, as the “League of Legends” Netflix series “Arcane” premieres on that date.
“Fortnite is officially the game we dreamed of in our childhood”
How does the community react to the Jinx skin? While some are bursting with hype, others are rather disappointed and wished for different characters from LoL.
Twitter user Queen Darkie Sparkle is absolutely thrilled under the Jinx tweet:
Fortnite is officially the game we dreamed of in our childhood! A game that brings all our favorite characters together. I have always had this dream – since the Playstation 2!

Shinra is also absolutely certain:
Yep, my wallet is getting abused next month.

Pastry is disappointed and would have preferred characters like Mordekaiser and Pantheon (via Twitter). Zuffie agrees with the comment and confirms how scary Pantheon would be with a weapon (via Twitter).
Overall, however, the community is excited about the collaboration and already has wishes for future crossovers, such as Mortal Kombat, Valorant, or Jurassic Park.
What do you think about this crossover between Fortnite and LoL? Will you treat yourself to the skin or does it not appeal to you at all? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
Rumor has it: Naruto is coming as the next skin in Fortnite.
