Fortnite, of course, is no stranger to pop-culture crossovers. Movies, TV shows, games and even musicians have popped up in Fortnite to promote their products over the last few years. In recent memory, in-game events towards the end of 2020 brought the Marvel characters Black Widow and Wolverine into the game.
And now, it’s the Alien franchise’s turn to shine in the Fortnite spotlight. The event comes at something of an interesting time, seeing as there isn’t a new Alien movie to promote at the moment.
