Amidst AI Race, Arnold Schwarzenegger Returns as the Terminator but on Fortnite

Fortnite has a history of bringing different worlds with popular characters from
Marvel, DC, Star Wars, and more joining the battle royale. Players can choose to
play as one of their on-screen favorites. However, as AI grows everywhere in the
real world, a legendary action star is making his presence felt on the game
island, and he is not planning on being friendly. Arnold Schwarzenegger
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/arnold-schwarzenegger] is reprising his role
as the legendary cyborg assassin T-800, from the Terminator series in Fortnite.

The official Fortnite Twitter account confirmed the news by sharing a teaser
post featuring the known T-800 character. It also showcased his iconic shotgun
set against a blood-red background with his menacing red eye. A teaser trailer
for the same highlighted his metal skeleton and daunting looks. Alongside, Sarah
Connor joins him too as a playable character.



Fortnite players will have access to the Terminator skin through the in-game
Item Shop. Additionally, add-ons inspired by the popular sci-fi franchise would
be available too. The skin will offer variants, one of which will reveal his
metal endoskeleton and intimidating red eye. It remains uncertain whether the
characters John Connor or even Skynet from the Terminator series will also make
their way into the game, alongside him and Sarah Connor.

Fortnite has collaborated with movie franchises that include Schwarzenegger in
the past. Back in 2019, the game introduced a character skin inspired by his
portrayal of Dutch, in Predator, a sci-fi action film with which Schwarzenegger
was not very pleased

The Predator skin joined the game as part of the Chapter 2 Season 5 Battle Pass.
However, with T-800 in their arsenal, fans can finally fend off the AI threat,
although again virtually.
