HYPEX has published the first picture of Grace Ashcroft’s Fortnite skin which confirms that a new Fortnite x Resident Evil Requiem partnership exists. The reveal has sparked immediate and intense debate among players because some players find the character model unattractive while others appreciate Fortnite’s growing list of partnered content. This leak establishes the upcoming release date for the new Resident Evil game.
HYPEX just released the initial picture showing Grace Ashcroft’s Fortnite skin through their social media account and the public response to this release shows a divided opinion. The public response shows complete disagreement. The public already expected another Resident Evil collaboration because the upcoming game Resident Evil 9 or Requiem or whatever name they use now was approaching its launch. Epic made a bold choice when they selected Grace to be the main character of their upcoming video game. Extreme danger exists through this decision. The players use their protests to communicate their opinions about the game.
The skin exists as the initial point of analysis. The tweet shows Grace in what looks like her default outfit from the trailers – practical jacket, determined look. The comments give harsh feedback about the face model. “Whats going on with her face tho,” asks Sophie, posting a side-by-side comparison that really highlights… something off. Alperius didn’t hold back either: “They had 4-5 months to make this skin and she looks so ugly 😠why she looking like her amiibo.” Ouch. The comparison to an amiibo character shows a new approach to face model comparisons. FLADS just bluntly stated, “That’s not her face wtf.” The statement creates a complete emotional experience.
The public reaction extends beyond Grace’s facial features because it demonstrates a wider response to the entire scene. The skin has enabled players to present every collaboration they want while expressing their team complaints which they have kept to themselves. The game is also available on PlayStation and Xbox.
