On March 11, social media was stirred by a Fortnite revelation, pointing to a new collaboration with Dodgers baseball player Shohei Ohtani. In an impressive video, the player is shown jumping between the real world and the virtual, offering a first look at his new skin. This will be the first skin of an MLB player in the popular Battle Royale game, adding to the numerous ones that immortalize high-performance athletes.
The new Shohei Ohtani skin will be available in the store on March 17, following a previous hint at the Dodgers stadium that suggested a future collaboration with Fortnite, but without revealing details. As for the appearance of the baseball star in Fortnite, he will be seen wearing two different outfits: one white for home games and another gray for away games, with the possibility of adding glasses in both cases.
In the video, it is observed that the backpack accompanying Ohtani consists of a puppy in the team uniform and a baseball, reminiscent of the 'big-headed' dolls that are placed in vehicles. The pickaxe he carries is a baseball bat with a kind of pitching machine on top, a feature that has been well received by fans.
In addition to his player style, the video also shows Ohtani with a samurai theme, an appearance that will be unlockable during the Shohei Ohtani Cup, to be played this Saturday in solo mode, where the highest scorers will be the winners.
