Leon Kennedy
It is no secret that apart from Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy is also regarded as one of the most important characters inResident Evil.In 1998’sResident Evil 2,Leon first appeared where players witnessed his unfortunate first day as a police officer during the Raccoon City Incident. Leon’s popularity was solidified inResident Evil 4,which was released in VR recently, and is still rumored to be Capcom’s nextResident Evil Remake.
Given Leon’s popularity amongResident Evilfans, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Epic Games adds him as one of the crossover characters. Like Chris and Jill, Epic could also feature two of Leon’s most iconic outfits: the R.P.D. police uniform fromResident Evil 2and the iconic leather jacket fromResident Evil 4.
Claire Redfield
Another character that is missing in theResident EvilandFortnitecrossover is Claire Redfield. Appearing alongside Leon inResident Evil 2,Claire arrives in Raccoon City searching for her brother Chris. Like Leon,Claire is also one of the most popular characters in theResident Evilfranchise, and she was last seen in 2015’sResident Evil: Revelations 2.
Although it remains to be seen whether Epic Games is planning to add moreResident Evilcharacters toFortnite, fans would undoubtedly be delighted to see Claire in the online battle royale game. In a possible crossover, Epic could include Claire’s outfit from theResident Evil 2remake alongsidethe Elza Walker outfit, which is an additional costume featured in the remake. For the uninitiated, Claire replaced Elza Walker, who was supposed to be one of the playable characters alongside Leon, in the first build ofResident Evil 2.
Albert Wesker
Apart from featuring protagonists from theResident Evilfranchise, it would also be interesting to see some of the series' iconic villains grace the battle royale games. It is no secret thatAlbert Wesker is one of the most memorable out of all the evil mastermindsin theResident Evilfranchise. Appearing alongside Chris and Jill in the first game, Wesker eventually became one of the forces that droveResident Evil’splot forward. As far as possible outfits are concerned, Epic Games could feature Wesker’s S.T.A.R.S. uniform from the first game and the all-black ensemble he wore inResident Evil 5.
Lady Dimitrescu
WhenResident Evil Villagewas released several months ago, the giant villainLady Dimitrescu quickly became one of the game’s breakout stars. For the uninitiated, Lady Dimitrescu was a human mutant standing at 9ft 6in, making her taller than other monsters in theResident Evilfranchise such as Nemesis and Mr. X. Given the massive popularity of Lady Dimitrescu amongResident Evilfans, adding her toFortnitewill most likely be one of the game’s most memorable crossovers since Thanos.
Fortniteis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
