Fortnite’s Crossover with The Elder Scrolls Online: Missed Potential and Unleashed Nords

The Elder Scrolls Online

Ah, Fortnite — the land of a thousand skins, where players are spoilt for choice. But when it comes to crossover skins, the expectations are higher, gesturing towards the fanbases of the referencing game. The Elder Scrolls Online, one of the latest additions to this crossover extravaganza, held the promise of something truly extraordinary. Unfortunately, it fell a bit short.

Fortnite’s Gaming Legends series has been rocking the scene, introducing characters from various games as skins. The likes of Borderlands’ heroes and even the infamous Doom Slayer have found their way into the game. While these skins don’t offer any unique gameplay mechanics, they do let players embody their beloved characters from other titles. It’s a formula that works and is gaining momentum. The Elder Scrolls Online was just the tip of the iceberg, but it seemed like so much more could have been done.

Fan-favorite characters are amping up the Fortnite experience, and the Nord Warrior from The Elder Scrolls Online is no exception. With his long, braided beard and iconic horned helmet, he’s instantly recognizable. He suits Fortnite’s art style like a dragonborn slipping on enchanted armor.

Yet, there was a missed opportunity here, my friends. The cinematic trailers for The Elder Scrolls Online not only highlighted the Nord Warrior but also showcased an impressive elven mage and a mysterious hooded assassin. These characters were just as vital as the Nord Warrior, and their absence from the crossover left fans scratching their heads. After all, they too are significant figures in the grand tapestry of the sprawling Elder Scrolls Online universe.

But fear not, for there may still be hope on the horizon. As Fortnite continues to dance with other licenses, we may see the day when the mage and assassin, wielding their incredible powers and unique weapons, step into the colorful chaos of Fortnite. Remember, Fortnite has revisited and expanded upon character sets in the past, so there is a glimmer of possibility. Fingers crossed that their time will come.

It’s undeniable that the Nord Warrior adds a cool flavor to Fortnite, preserving his distinctive appearance while gracefully adapting to the game’s art style. But let’s be honest here, The Elder Scrolls Online is more than just brawny warriors. The mage and the assassin had more exhilarating scenes, and they deserve their moment to shine in Fortnite. Alas, the full potential of the franchise remains untapped.

Keep in mind, adventurers, The Elder Scrolls Online is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. So gather your band of champions, explore Tamriel, and let the dreams of future crossovers fill your heart!
