As Fortnite’s Metaverse continues to expand, we are once again seeing an actual actor manifest digitally in the game here, a rarity, but one that is no doubt going to get more common. The star is Ryan Reynolds, and the cross promotion is for Free Guy, his new blockbuster inspired by games like GTA Online and… Fortnite itself. A new series of Free Guy challenges has just gone live which will get players XP and a free emote. The Free Guy skin, which is the “buff” version of Reynolds’ Guy, which he gets “upgraded” to during the film, it seems, will be available in the store later tonight. Fortnite has now branched into doing likeness skins for content creators like Ninja and Loserfruit and muisicians like Travis Scott and Arianna Grande, but actors? That’s been infrequent.
