Fortnite has become a benchmark in the gaming industry. Aside from its continuously updated content, the game also has collaborated with some of the biggest names from other industries as well. From DC Comics, and Star Wars to other popular franchises like Futurama, Fortnite has done it all. While fans want to see popular Nintendo characters arrive in the game, the Fortnite x Nike collab didn’t fail to make fans go haywire with its offerings.

While seeing Juice WRLD would understandably be incredible for those of us who feel the rapper left us too soon, fans might come to terms with the reality as well.
