According to leaked patch-related information for Fortnite, fan-favorite Assassin's Creed hero Ezio Auditore da Firenze will eventually appear in the battle royale game. It was only a matter of time before members of the Assassin's Order entered the mix, given the sheer number of video game characters that already appear in the ever-popular Epic Games experience.
In the last couple of years alone, the likes of Kratos, Master Chief, and Lara Croft have joined the Fortnite roster. Meanwhile, Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine of Resident Evil fame hit the Island last fall, with Uncharted's Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer recently coming on board in the wake of the movie release. Each guest character fits the Fortnite mold in their own way, bringing something unique to the table that further elevates the already exciting moment-to-moment gameplay loop. How long can Epic Games reliably keep up this momentum? That much remains a mystery for the time being. But the studio shows no sign of slowing down. If anything, many lapsed players may reenter the fray if leaked details about an upcoming patch prove accurate.
