Batman in swimming trunks visits Fortnite
Summer is in full swing, which means game developers are vying to offer various "beach" add-ons where familiar characters appear before the public in resort attire. In honor of the collaboration between the "battle royale" Fortnite from Epic Games and the DC comics universe, the online action game offers images of superheroes from Gotham dressed in swimsuits. And gamers will also find numerous accessories, promotions, a themed event, and the ability to populate private islands with AI interlocutors powered by a large voice model.
More about the DC and Fortnite collaboration
A new attraction has appeared on the "battle royale" island — the Batcave. You can even go inside to gawk at the monitors in front of which Bruce Wayne monitors the criminal situation in Gotham. And the owner of the grotto will not only arrive in the game personally, in the form of a character skin, but also drag along a whole set of gadgets and technology. This collection includes a bat-cape for flying, like a parachute, a grappling hook, and a fully functional Batmobile, available as a vehicle. It's worth noting that the Batman kit will be made available to everyone for free on July 18 and 19 as part of the "Shining Hours" event. Gamers will also receive a self-resurrection device, a boost to all types of spirits, and an increased frequency of buggy spawns.
In addition to Batman, his comic book colleagues have dropped by the game: Harley Quinn, Catwoman, and Poison Ivy. All the girls, naturally, in beach outfits. Some changes have also been made to the gameplay. For example, an evacuation element has appeared in battles: if you manage to jump into a bus that popped out of a rift, it will bring you or your team a royal victory by flight — to achieve it, you won't have to fight to the last survivor. Finally, the LLM-powered AI character support feature has left the test mode. There are currently 36 of them in total, and thanks to the use of a large language model, they are able to act almost like living beings and engage in meaningful dialogue with users.
