Mortal Kombat has played host to its fair share of guest characters in recent games, but after years of speculation and fan requests -- the legendary franchise is about to crash somebody else's fun! Sub-Zero is officially coming to Fortnite as part of the next big Battle Pass! Take a closer look at things to come:

An Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3-inspired klassic Sub-Zero, with very subtle eye scar, appears in the line-up of new characters coming to Fortnite C6S2: Lawless [pictured below].

The caper begins February 21st, bringing the Lin Kuei ice warrior to the island battle royale, where he'll be able to fight with a multitude of franchise icons, including classic arcade rivals from the Street Fighter series, familiar foes from the DC Universe, and even a few crossovers that got away - like Evil Dead's Ash and Halloween's Michael Myers.

The collaboration is a long time coming! Injustice 2 concept artist Eric "Decay" Tran imagined what a Fortnite/Mortal Kombat crossover would look like back in 2018, envisioning designs for Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Jax, and Mileena.

Although no official announcements have been made yet, a rumor posted to X [aka; Twitter] by Fortnite watcher ShiinaBR, speculates that there will also be a second character skin, and that each of them will receive "a unique mythic item": rarities sometimes obtained through boss drops that possess upgraded or special abilities. Fellow Fortnite leak analyst FNBRintel has speculated this will be Scorpion.
