Summary
With the release of comic book Negan in theFortniteItem Shop, fans wanted to know if the actor playing him on the show had any thoughts on the possibility of his version being added to the game in the future, and he satisfied their curiosity with a quirky response.The Walking Deadhas been part of theFortniteuniverse for a while now. It all started with the release of the Daryl Dixon and Michonne skins, which were first sold in December 2020, a few days after their announcement during The Game Awards. The following year, Rick Grimes was also added toFortnitein October.
The Walking Deadskins available inFortniteare replicas of the characters on the show played by Norman Reedus, Danai Gurira, and Andrew Lincoln. While Daryl Dixon does not appear inThe Walking Deadcomics, Michonne and Rick do. However, the deal was made with AMC, and onlyTV show characters became part ofFortnite. Things are now different with the release of Negan’s skin in the Item Shop - this time around, the comic book version of the character.
Upon being asked by fans what he thought about this recent addition, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who played Negan inThe Walking DeadTV show, admits that he would be stoked to see AMC’s Negan inFortnitealongside Kirkman’s. Despite his redemption arc later on, Negan was one of themost brutal villains inThe Walking Deaduniverse, and Morgan did an outstanding job interpreting this character and turned him into a fan-favorite, which is why the community was curious to know what he thought about the addition of Negan toFortnite. Morgan also notes, this would make it possible for him to hang out with Andrew Lincoln once again, even if it was as virtual representations of characters they played.
When Do Negan Cosmetics Leave the Fortnite Item Shop?
It is possible that there could be some conflict and competition in selling Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s character when the comic book version of Negan is already available inFortnite. The truth is that the deals that went into creating this project with Kirkman and AMC are unknown, but there is hope that another variant of this character could be coming in the future. Negan items are part of the Survivor in Arms set, which is the same cosmetic set as the otherWalking Deadcharacters. Additionally, there have also been multiple skins representing the same person or characters before, such as the standard andSlayer Juice WRLD skin.
Even though the rest of the characters aren’t up for sale at the moment, players can pick upNegan in theFortniteItem Shopuntil April 11. The Negan bundle features the Negan skin, Lucille, his iconic bat, as a pickaxe, the Walker’s Headcase back bling, and the KRAKK! wrap.
