The new E-mot would be one of the few synced emotes in the game. Synced emotes are the ones that two player characters can do simultaneously in sync with each other.

This new package, as the Tweet suggests, would be coming to the Fortnite store on December 24, 2022. It seems like NBA fans are getting an awesome Christmas surprise this year.

Epic has been going all out with new character skins

While players were already getting hyped by those characters, Epic quickly introduced characters from the anime My Hero Academia to their game. And now this latest character based on the NBA player enters the game.

It seems like Epic games have no intention of stopping. We have yet to see where Epic takes the lore of Fortnite after Zero Point vanished inside the island after saving it from doom. But it goes without saying that Chapter 4 is the biggest chapter in the series of events that has followed until now.
