Continuing the trend of the Gaming Legends line, a skin category that's previously brought in well-known characters such as Kratos, Huggy Wuggy, and Leon S. Kennedy, Perlica is likely to join the roster in a similar fashion to most crossover characters. While Epic hasn't announced pricing yet, past releases in that same category have generally sold for an estimated 1,500 to 1,800 V-Bucks, the game’s premium currency.
So far, only the outfit has been confirmed to arrive, and there's no word yet on whether it'll come bundled with extras like a Back Bling or Pickaxe. Other details and in-game previews are expected to be revealed once closer to the release date.
Growing Crossovers in Fortnite
This crossover isn't Epic's first time with gacha titles, as Honkai: Star Rail's Kafka and Blade were the first to make a jump into Fortnite earlier this year, possibly paving the way for more gacha collabs. The Perlica reveal may be the Fortnite team looking to expand and keep that momentum going in reaching a wider audience while appealing to different gacha communities.
Fans in the Arknights Endfield community reacted to the news with shock, a bit concerned about how the character will fit into Fortnite's ever-expanding cast of crossover characters. Users on Reddit also noted the number of collaborations growing over time and other unlikely pairings as part of the same trend. Notably, the hit collab between Wuthering Waves x Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Atomic Hearts in Reverse: 1999, multiple Frieren collabs in gachas, and more.
Others are also just curious about how these partnerships actually come together behind the scenes, but think that this may help Endfield or other games gain more visibility going forward. Fortnite is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Epic Games. For more information about the game, check out our article below:
