If we already had too much with the flurry of microtransactions that Fortnite has for its cosmetics and other in-game additions, it looks like now it will be NFTs that will take over future seasons of the game, or at least it seems so thank you to the new collaboration with the NFT brand of Nike .SWOOSH.
According to a post from the official Nike account, we will have an event called Fortnite X Nike Air Max that will take place in the level editor, thanks to a level created by Nike where we will, presumably, have to search for shoes and obtain mode rewards NFT for the .SWOOSH platform. Now, that’s unofficial at the moment, but a famous Fortnite leaker has already revealed that’s what we’ll see during the June 20 event.
NFTs in video games, a door is opening again and is it bad?
Recall that a similar collaboration between Nike’s NFT brand and EA Sports was recently announced. According to him, in the future, EA Sports games will have cosmetic elements that can be used and updated in .SWOOSH, obviously with a profit motive. Now, that doesn’t seem to interfere with game development, but it can be a serious aggravation for the future.
With Fortnite in sight for NFTs, the danger of a new wave of lucrative services may arise and take big bucks, as NFT fashion dropped so quickly last time around, along with the price of these items. This may be the case, as we will only know when the events take place.
If you are interested in participating in this event, it will be available on June 20 within Fortnite, surely in a dynamic with a map created by Nike.
