Accompanied by a chorus of mixed reactions from the crowd, Epic Games declared in spectacular fashion the Deadmau5 Fortnite skin. That iconic DJ and producer, accompanied by his unparalleled mouse-head helmet, are entering the peerless world of battle royale, and gamers are either ecstatic beyond words or just confused. Wait, who actually is Deadmau5!?
The skin looks pretty cool, considering the classic Deadmau5 style with the glowy helmet color: black and red. Though, thankfully, this is Fortnite, and it’s never about the design anyhow! Some players have gone completely insane over this one and are calling it a “cultural upgrade” (props to @lindagirk_049 for that); others are meh about it. @PumpKingRBLX chimed in and said, “nobody wanted this.” Then, to add to the nitpicking, @XCHF5454282 said, “I’m crying no one gave af💀.” Damn!
And more discussions commenced on whether he is part of the Festival Pass or just a regular collab. @TheHonoredOne21 came straight to the point: “Is he the festival pass or just a collab?” Because if this means a second music event like Marshmello’s, sign us up; but if it’s just a skin? Cool, but not as hyped.
Oh, hell is breaking loose in the music discourse. Some are debating if Deadmau5 is even relevant anymore (@unccosmo said, “im talking about how no one knows deadmaus u fuck”), while others responded with, “Bro, if you’re over 12, you’ve definitely heard at least one Deadmau5 song” (@HurleyGang10 coming in with the facts). Meanwhile, @sc0utzh0nor dragged Taylor Swift, calling her music “buns” for no reason. Absolute madness!
Wacky requests abound on the other end of the spectrum. @tomivision wants a Goat Simulator dance emote (which honestly would be legendary), whereas @heart_breana is making the somewhat contentious request to add a goat next. What?? But Fortnite has seen stranger things, so who knows.
The bigger question now is what comes after: a full-on Deadmau5 concert event, a Festival Pass takeover, or simply just a dope skin to walk around in lobbies together? Whatever it is, we love how Epic Games keeps us all guessing. And seriously, whether you actually know Deadmau5 or are just here for the memes, Fortnite has the best collabs ever.
But then, will you be buying the Deadmau5 skin or not? Let us know—unless you are from the “who is Deadmau5” clan, in which case, sit this one out.
