The new 'Fortnite' crossover brings 'Uncharted' skins

To promote the film version of Uncharted, Epic Games is hosting an Uncharted crossover in Fortnite on February 17. It'll mark actor Tom Holland's second time in the game with a new skin of him portraying Uncharted's Nathan Drake. The original Nathan Drake character and Chloe Frazier will also be available in the movie and video game forms inside Fortnite.

Epic Games teased this collaboration late on Friday through a treasure hunt website. But leakers spotted code inside the game a few days before this, pointing towards an "Uncharted treasure map." The trailer you see above confirms the wearable outfits, but The Verge believes there will be other cosmetics as part of this collaboration. The Uncharted items will appear on Fortnite's item shop a day before the film is released. 

First 'Uncharted' trailer with Tom Holland, Mark Wahlberg drops

Sony is finally ready to show you a bit of its upcoming live-action adaptation of the video game franchise Uncharted. The film has been in the making for over a decade, but now you just have a few months until it arrives in theatres on February 11. Tom Holland plays the lead Nathan Drake, and we see some iconic moments of Drake from the games, which some fans might appreciate. He is joined by Mark Walhberg as Sully, Drake's mentor. Wahlberg was initially set to play Drake, but development took so long, and we ended up with a much younger lead. Zombieland and Venom director Ruben Fleischer has finally seen the film through.

Of course, Sony Pictures is using this trailer as an opportunity to promote a remastered bundle of Uncharted 4 and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy that's coming to PlayStation 5 and PC in early 2022. Those unfamiliar viewers who are coming into the franchise might want to check out the games after all.

You can say that the Uncharted movie has been over a decade in the making. News about the film being made started since at least 2008. But now the film has finally been wrapped (at least since October 2020), with Spider-Man's Tom Holland as the lead, Nathan Drake. Unfortunately, since we are still living through a global pandemic, it looks like Sony Pictures is opting to push back its release date from July 16, 2021, to February 11, 2022, at least according to different sources. On the film's official Twitter account, it just states 2022, which seems like a safer bet given current circumstances.
