Fortnite’s Resident Evil crossover hit different when it dropped, but players are already thirsting for more. The collab brought some serious zombie-apocalypse vibes to the island, but now the community’s calling out Epic for not going hard enough on the customization options.
The current RE lineup is honestly pretty solid. You’ve got Chris Redfield looking absolutely swole, Jill Valentine serving main character energy, and other iconic characters ready to drop into Tilted Towers. The crossover nailed that survival horror aesthetic while keeping things fun and accessible for Fortnite’s younger audience.
Plus, seeing these legendary characters doing Fortnite dances? It’s giving unhinged energy in the best way possible. Nothing quite hits like watching Chris Redfield hit the griddy after clutching a Victory Royale.
But here’s where things get spicy. Players are starting to notice some major gaps in what Epic delivered versus what they could have done.
“I really want more styles for the Resident Evil characters we have. It would be nice to see. I just think it would be really cool to have more styles for the Resident Evil skins. Currently, if you don’t care for value then Chris is the one that is most worth getting since both him and his backbling has styles while only Jill has styles but no one else. It would be really cool to have one of these as another style to make the skins better (I really want to have S.T.A.R.S Chris to match with Jill)” — u/JacsweYT on r/FortNiteBR
This feedback lowkey hits different because it shows how much players actually care about these crossovers. It’s not just about getting the characters — it’s about getting the full experience with all the iconic looks and variations that make these franchises special.
The value disparity is real too. Chris coming with both character and backbling styles while other characters get the basic treatment? That’s not it, Epic.
What makes this whole situation even more interesting is how it reflects Fortnite’s evolution as a crossover platform. Remember when getting any licensed character felt like a huge deal? Now players expect the full treatment — multiple styles, reactive elements, built-in emotes, the works.
Other major crossovers have set the bar pretty high. Look at how Marvel characters get multiple comic and movie variants, or how Star Wars skins come with different eras and looks. The RE collab feels almost rushed in comparison, like Epic didn’t fully tap into the franchise’s visual potential.
The S.T.A.R.S request specifically makes perfect sense too. Those classic blue uniforms are iconic as hell, and having Chris and Jill match would create some serious squad goals energy. It’s the kind of attention to detail that separates good crossovers from legendary ones.
This also speaks to something bigger about Fortnite’s relationship with its community. Players aren’t just passive consumers anymore — they’re actively pushing for better content and calling out missed opportunities. The game’s success has made fans more demanding, but in a good way.
Plus, Resident Evil has decades of different looks, outfits, and variations to pull from. We’re talking about a franchise that spans multiple games, remakes, and reimaginings. The style potential is basically endless.
The timing feels right for Epic to listen up and deliver. Fortnite’s in a strong position right now, and showing they can respond to community feedback on crossovers would be a huge flex. It’s also just good business — more styles means more revenue from an already popular collaboration.
So what’s next? Epic’s probably watching this feedback closely, especially since RE content still performs well in the item shop. Don’t be surprised if we see some surprise style additions in a future update, or maybe even expanded RE content in the next season.
The demand is clearly there, and Epic’s shown they can revisit and expand crossovers when it makes sense. With Resident Evil 4 Remake still fresh in everyone’s minds and the franchise staying relevant, more styles feel like an easy win.
Wether we get S.T.A.R.S uniforms, classic RE2 looks, or something completely new, one thing’s clear — the community’s ready to throw more V-Bucks at quality Resident Evil content. The question is whether Epic’s ready to deliver what players actually want.
