Fortnite’s latest collaboration was with the Star Wars franchises, where the ongoing Galactic Battle event absolutely made the game look like a Star Wars theme park. The main attraction of this crossover is the inclusion of an interactive Darth Vader AI NPC with generative chatbot functionality. This NPC interacts and converse with players with its generative synthetic voice, just like an AI chatbot. However, who knew that this NPC would have been the primary source of the Fortnite X One Punch Man leak.It’s now proved that players weren’t only interacting and talking to this NPC, many players were even digging deeper to investigate the in-game files of this NPC, and guess what! This is how a fan going by @itsmeleaky claimed that Fortnite is about to collaborate with One Punch Man.
This news was brought to light by popular Fortnite leaker HypeX when he tweeted that according to @itsmeleaky, it's possible that Epic Games left the description of an unreleased skin in files pertaining to the AI Darth Vader NPC. The description, which is styled like a generative AI chatbot prompt, refers to an unidentified figure who looks like One Punch Man's main character Saitama. The said description doesn’t specifically mention Saitama, but it reads “a character wearing a yellow and red suit with a black belt. He has a bald head and no facial features..” So, there is no doubt that this unidentified character is none other than Saitama from One Punch Man.Fans need to keep in mind that these are all mere speculations and leaks and still very far from reality. Epic Games is yet to confirm anything about this potential crossover. However, looking at the past track records of Fortnite, this crossover isn’t absolutely impossible. And this prompt left in the in-game file certainly raises the hype.Read More:How to recruit AI Darth Vader in Fortnite
