Is Giannis Antetokounmpo coming to Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1?

Is Giannis Antetokounmpo coming to Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1? Yes, according to the latest leaks and an official teaser from Epic Games, the Milwaukee Bucks star is indeed joining the metaverse soon.

While there's no exact date in place, it's known that a collaboration will occur this month. It's possible that he may be featured in the game before Winterfest 2022 or could become a free cosmetic item that will be given out during the festive season. However, that's a bit too much wishful thinking.

As of now, there are no details about the type of collaboration this will be. Given that NBA legend LeBron James is the only Iconic basketball player featured in-game to date, having Giannis Antetokounmpo added will make it an even pair. Here's everything there is to know about the upcoming collaboration.

Fortnite x Giannis Antetokounmpo is already making waves on the internet

Fortnite's collaboration with the NBA is not something new. The first one occurred in May of 2021 and was called The Crossover. Since then, basketball has become a staple mini-game in the battle royale. However, in Chapter 2 Season 7, everything changed with the arrival of LeBron James.

The King was the first basketball player to become an Icon Series skin, although not the first pro athlete. His arrival was celebrated with a lot of hype. To commemorate the occasion, a mural was also created both in-game and in real life. More recently, a newer variant of the skin, called FFC LeBron James, was added to the game.

Coming back to Giannis Antetokounmpo, there's no doubt that Epic Games and the community will give him a royal welcome to the metaverse. While basketball may not be everyone's barrel of Slurp Juice, those who follow the sport are already planning to "cop" the skin as soon as it hits the item shop.

Much like LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo will also be given his own cosmetic bundle in Fortnite. This will likely contain an Icon Series skin with two styles, a Back Bling, a Pickaxe/Harvesting Tool, a Loading Screen, and perhaps even quests.

Based on how much the LeBron James bundle costs, Giannis Antetokounmpo's bundle will cost anywhere between 2,000 and 2,500 V-Bucks

What else can players expect to see during the Fortnite x Giannis Antetokounmpo collaboration?

Aside from cosmetics, Epic Games is bound to introduce some mini-games in Creative mode. Given that the map is saturated at the moment, setting up some courts on the island will not fit in well, given the ongoing theme.

Like all major collaborations, players will likely have challenges to complete in Creative mode. This will reward them with experience points and cosmetics, such as Sprays and Emoticons, associated with Giannis Antetokounmpo and the NBA in general.

With all that said, players can expect the exact details of the upcoming Fortnite x Giannis Antetokounmpo collaboration to be revealed over the next couple of days. By the looks of things, content in-game is going to explode exponentially, and there'll be enough for players to do to keep them busy until the end of the year.
