Earlier this week, Epic Games announced a KPop Demon Hunters crossover would be coming to Fortnite on Oct. 2. Now, the company behind the battle royale has shared more details about the collaboration with Netflix’s most-watched original film.
HUNTR/X’s Rumi, Mira, and Zoey will face waves of demons in the limited-time Demon Rush mode, a spin on Fortnite‘s Horde Rush mode. Rumi’s Empowered Sword and Zoey’s Golden Bubble Shield will be useful for fending off those demons, and perks inspired by the film will be acquired between each Survival Phase. The Demon Rush mode will begin Oct. 2 and run through Nov. 1, just in time for spooky season.
KPop Demon Hunters outfits, accessories, and emotes will hit the Fornite Shop, and you’ll be able to complete quests from the singers to earn new items as well, like Mira’s X-tra Spicy Ramyeon. Like so many other characters in Fortnite, the K-pop idols have also been Lego-ized, with Lego versions of Rumi, Mira, and Zoey available.
Fortnite creators will have fun with the new update as they’ll “have access to film-inspired assets, signature gameplay items, fearsome demon enemies, and HUNTR/X” members, according to a news release. “Developers can build melee-focused islands or remix their existing islands” starting Oct. 2.
KPop Demon Hunters coming to Fortnite surely won’t be the last you hear of HUNTR/X. A sequel is likely, and a prequel may happen too.
