Skybound Games has unveiled an Island Code that unlocks a brand-new gaming experience in Fortnite, featuring an Invincible-themed mode named Rise of the Sequids. This exciting 20-player crossover introduces infection-style gameplay, offering players a fresh perspective on the Fortnite universe.
Since its debut in 2017, Fortnite has evolved into a cultural phenomenon, incorporating collaborations with a wide range of brands and celebrities, from LEGO to Lady Gaga. The current collaboration with Avatar: The Last Airbender allows players to wield elemental bending powers in battles and acquire exclusive Team Avatar outfits and accessories.
Launched on April 11, Skybound Games' latest creation, Rise of the Sequids, brings a thrilling addition to Epic Games' popular free-to-play title. By entering the designated Fortnite Island Code 6860-5764-7093, players can dive into this new 20-player mode inspired by a pivotal scene from Season 2 of Amazon Prime's Invincible series. Set on a Mars-themed map, the infection-style player-vs-player mode pits two teams of 10 against each other, as humanity struggles to fend off parasitic alien Sequids aiming to assimilate all humans.
What Makes Rise of the Sequids Stand Out
- Engaging 10v10 infection-style gameplay
- Immersive Martian setting for battles
- Use the specific Fortnite Island Code to join the action
Skybound Games' venture into the world of Robert Kirkman's Invincible franchise isn't new, with previous successful releases like the graphic novel Invincible Presents: Atom Eve and the mobile game Invincible: Guarding the Globe. The collaboration between Fortnite and Invincible isn't a one-time event either, with past crossovers introducing skins of iconic characters like Atom Eve, Omni-Man, and Invincible. Additionally, Skybound Games developed the intense six-person Fortnite raid Invincible: Doc Seismic Attacks.
While characters from Invincible have made appearances in Fortnite, a recent development saw a nod to Fortnite within Invincible. In the Season 2 finale of Invincible, viewers were treated to Easter eggs and nods to various franchises, including a reference to Fortnite that fans will immediately recognize. During a climactic battle, Invincible is momentarily transported to an alternate dimension where he stumbles upon a weapon resembling Fortnite's Dragon's Breath Sniper rifle. With both franchises hinting at inter-dimensional travel, the collaboration between Skybound Games and Fortnite may lead to more exciting crossovers in the future.
