Not from big IPs like Kratos, but yes.

Are those skins usable on other platforms after you acquire them on whatever platform they're meant for, or can you only use them on that platform?

Typically to this point, Fortnite skins at most have been exclusive only in the sense you needed a certain platform to claim them. Once you have them, all skins work across all versions of the game.

Holy crap, that's insane. I thought I was out after Marvel, Mando alone wasn't enough to hook me, but this would be insane. Hope Microsoft and Nintendo also get a character in here.

I won't lie, the model was close enough to one of the action figures that I assumed this was a fake mock-up, lol

So is this the first console exclusive skin?
BTW considering its Crossplay do the other consoles see the skin or just the default Fortnite Guy and Girl skin?

Has there been console exclusive characters before?
Think only Borderlands as been the only other game to have Fortnite skins. They done generic skins you can only get through PS/Xbox/Nintendo, but no actual characters. Rocket League has platform exclusive "characters" (Warthog, Armaldillo for Xbox and Sweet Tooth's fan for PS).

Although with platform IPs like this, Epic COULD show Kratos when on PS, but anyone on other platforms would see the default skin.

Thats how Rocketleague handles the Twisted Metal and Mario/Luigi cars, right? They're showing as default on non PS/Nintendo plattforms.

Setting the new season up as ''hunters teleported from another world'' gives them a shit ton of room to bring in all kinds of characters. Kratos will just be the start I bet and the likes of Ratchet could easily be done too with Clank as a back pack. Doom guy and Samus would make a lot of sense also.

when a new character 'comes to fortnite,' what does that really mean?
its just a cosmetic pack people can buy or grind? an outfit?

because fornite doesn't have NPCs or PVE does it?

Huh, that's pretty wild. Is this the first skin from An actual game and not a comic or movie etc?

I hate that Fortnite keeps getting all these cool collaborations, because of all the BR games I've played and tried out it is the one I like the least.

Sony invested $250 million in Epic for "creative collaborations", this is one of what I believe are to be many more coming.

They can sometimes be bigger deals then just a skin, like when they did Borderlands, there was an actual section of the map that was from Borderlands, art style change and all. They've done similar stuff with DC and Marvel characters too, but I doubt they will with Kratos due to the other platform holders probably not allowing something like that.

Equippable cosmetic player outfit. They'll always require a purchase either directly or be part of the battle pass.

Different seasons have different things in the world, hostile enemies were a thing last season, this season has NPCs with quests.
