Fortnite
Epic Games has announced that from February 17, 2022 we will be able to play as Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer, protagonists of Uncharted, within Fortnite. We will be able to check the game version and the film version of the two characters, as you can see from the trailer above and from the image below.Epic Games had already suggested the arrival of the Uncharted characters in Fortnite with a hunt to treasure on the site. For the moment the trailer only confirms the Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer themed costumes, but it is highly likely that there are also a series of accessories, and maybe even weapons, themed with the Naughty Dog game.
Uncharted in Fortnite It will be possible to buy these items in the Fortnite store starting from February 17, 2022, or the day of the release in Italy of the Uncharted movie. The package, while also proposing the videogame version of the characters, is in fact designed first of all to advertise the arrival of the film all over the world.
Tell us, what do you think of the two Uncharted characters? Have they been recreated in the best way, or do you think that the graphic style of Fortnite does not fit well with the realistic look of Naughty Dog games?
Uncharted is in a golden moment: in addition to this collaboration and the film, the "Uncharted Collection The Legacy of Thieves" collection, which is among the best-selling games in Italy at the end of January 2022, is also available on PS5.

‘Fortnite’ Offering Original And Movie Nathan Drakes For ‘Uncharted’ Collaboration
Fortnite
EpicFortnite continues its endless string of crossovers with a new collaboration for the upcoming Uncharted movie, the film that spent a decade in development hell, but is actually out on February 18, at long last.
The film is a “reimagining” of a younger Nathan Drake going on adventures, and he’s being played by Tom Holland. As such, Fortnite has done something interesting by offering two sets of skins (coming on February 17), which have original PlayStation Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer, and then the movie actor versions, Tom Holland and Sophia Ali.
This is Tom Holland’s second Fortnite skin in about three months, as we also got a No Way Home Peter Parker skin for the release of that Spider-Man movie. He now matches his girlfriend Zendaya who also has two Fortnite skins for her roles in Spider-Man as MJ and in Dune as Chani. When are we getting a Rue from Euphoria skin, Epic?
PlayStation is also building up quite a collection of Fortnite icons. Nathan Drake and Chloe join Kratos from God of War, Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West and uh, technically Spider-Man, given that Insomniac’s game is PlayStation’s biggest-selling exclusive. At this point, we’re not missing too many more PlayStation icons. We still need Joel and Ellie from The Last of Us for one. Maybe Jin from Ghost of Tsushima. Microsoft has Master Chief and Marcus and Kait from Gears of War. Fortnite has still not managed to convince Nintendo to hand over its IPs for a collaboration at this point, which I’m sure they’re dying to do.
It's all part of Fortnite’s grand IP-collecting metaverse plan, which it was trying to build before that term got reduced to a pointless buzzword. It certainly does have the most Ready Player One-friendly roster out there with all these deals made, and they’re never going to stop, that much is clear.
As for the Uncharted movie, reviews are starting to come in, and it’s got a not-great 50% on Rotten Tomatoes, which I can’t say is wholly unexpected, given how the trailer looked and how long this movie has been spent languishing. That’s almost exactly on par with Alicia Vikander’s Tomb Raider, which clocked a 52%. Even in this age of Sonic the Hedgehog, making a truly great video game movie is a tall order. We’ve had better luck on TV between The Witcher and Arcane.
Anyway, the skins are good, and you can add to your virtual Tom Holland collection on February 17 when they’re released. Check out the trailer above, and look for Treasure Maps to return to Fortnite to celebrate the arrival of Uncharted.
