Yo Joe!
Epic Games’Fortnite– which is certainlygoing into overdrivewhen it comes topop culture crossovers– seems to be teasing the next franchise headed to the popular battle royale title. And it appears to be none other than ’80s toy-line/TV seriesG.I. Joe: A Real American Hero.
Fortnite’sofficial Twitterhas posted a new video featuring radio intel from Agent Jonesy, where the hero teases the arrival of some new heroes. The message not only makes reference to the incoming characters’ “laser guns” and “cool codenames”, but tellingly signs off with the iconic catchphrase “And knowing is half the battle”, which you all no doubt will recognize as the catchphrase fromG.I. Joe’snotorious public service announcements.
In particular, Jonesy references an agent that players “will never hear coming”, which sounds a hell of a lot likeG.I. Joe’sresident ninja master, Snake Eyes. TheG.I. Joebrand is pretty much a perfect fit for the world ofFortnite,so now it’s just a case of waiting to see which characters make the cut. Of course, if Duke, The Baroness, and Cobra Commander aren’t part of the entourage, then I’ll be very surprised.
