It was teased yesterday that God of War's Kratos might be coming to Fortnite soon as one of the new skins for its latest season of content, and rumours are now circulating that Halo might have a presence as well.
Various images have been circulating on social media over the past few hours showing various cosmetics including a Master Chief skin, Warthog emote and more, and as pointed out by Windows Central, there are also reports suggesting a Halo Capture The Flag Limited Time Mode might be featured too.
It's definitely worth taking these reports with a pinch of salt for now, as the images are very low quality which suggests they could simply have been faked. That said, if PlayStation is getting an exclusive character skin in the form of Kratos soon, it would seem to make sense that Xbox and Nintendo might get one as well.
We'll have to wait and see what happens with this one, then. Do you think it's real? Let us know in the comments.

I'll wade in first with an unpopular opinion. I think this is a great idea. Getting Halo out to as wide a gaming community as possible is well worth it. Halo hasn't been mainstream popular for years. The younger Fortnite players have no idea who John 117 is?! This will introduce the joy that is Halo to a whole new generation and I for one think that's great 😁
@LocalPenguin agreed this will be a smart move for all platforms to get their IPs seen by a huge group of gamers who may not be as familiar with them. This game is notorious for making whatever they put in it popular. My younger cousins talk a lot about galactus now. That man was as irrelevant as Ironman pre 2008 😂
@LocalPenguin I agree that Halo isn't popular like it was 10 years ago, and that plopping stuff in Fortnite has been a tried and true method of exposure the last few years.
But, I have my reservations about how much it would translate to more people playing Halo. Even with the obviously happening despite being 343i's lying, Battle Royale mode. It's OK to promote Marvel or something as it's mainly a movie franchise to these kids. It doesn't try to replace Fortnite, but these kids are invested in Fortnite.it has the skins,tthe dances, their friends etc. Clearly looking at the Avengers game, a huge name franchise, especially with kids, just having your characters in Fortnite isn't going to have save your game.
Halo trying to ape fortnite for its player base is about as foolish as trying to ape COD for its player base. But that's exactly what they tried with Halo 4 and 5, so yeah obviously that's exactly the game plan here. And it's going to fail spectacularly.
