Epic Games has announced the addition of the Dead Space protagonist in a blog post (opens in new tab)which revealed that Isaac is now available as part of Fortnite’s Gaming Legend Series skins.
You can pick up this stoic hero right now for $11.99 / £9.99 / AUD$17.09 from the Epic Games Store. Purchasing the skin also unlocks the Strange Transmission Quests. Thanks to these inconvenient transmissions, you can earn up to 1,500 V-Bucks, RIG Back Bling, USG Ishimura Back, and Bling Plasma Cutter Pickaxe.
One of many
Since its release in 2017, Fortnite has built an impressive roster. Collecting everyone from pop stars to necromorph slayers, there’s more than enough choice to fully outfit your squad with some of the hottest heroes, celebrities, and top-shelf demogorgons.
As for video game characters, Isaac Clarke is far from the first to join the Battle Royale roster. The Gaming Legends series skins also include demi-god-vader, Kratos, the grave-raiding Lara Croft, and even Halo’s Master Chief. Video game characters known for their serious roles in other franchises and becoming part of the wacky world of Fortnite is now something of a fan service.
More deaths in space
As mentioned above, this expansion of Fortnite’s roster comes at a pivotal time for the necromorph fighter. The remake of Dead Space will be released on January 27 and the 2008 survival horror is getting a modern facelift for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Just some of the improvements the remake implementations include include a much more vocal Isaac, with the Necromorph slayer now actively commenting on his surroundings and even chatting with the few remaining humans left on the USG Ishimura, and a new amazing meat peeling system which allows you to accurately slice up your enemies – because true horror is nothing but accurate.
Thanks to Epic Games, it seems like you can now enjoy the many sides of Isaac Clarke. Whether he’s being terrorized by mutated bloodied monsters on a space station or teaming up with Ariana Grande to get that winner-winner chicken dinner.
