Epic Games has revolutionized Fortnite since its inception. From its humble beginnings as a different kind of game, one that you could still enjoy if you wish, it has now become the premier battle royale experience. Their success has led to numerous attempts by others to challenge their dominance in the genre, albeit with mixed results. However, what truly sets Fortnite apart is its ability to engage players, enticing them to go all out to obtain exclusive skins and items.
Yet, amidst all the excitement, you might have missed one of their most significant announcements. Today marks the commencement of a special collaboration between Fortnite and Nike, presenting the "ultimate sneaker hunt" under the renowned "Air Max" brand.
But what does this event entail? While specific details have yet to be revealed, there are intriguing hints suggesting that Nike has delved into the Unreal Editor to create a distinct gaming experience. Players can anticipate acquiring exclusive Nike-themed cosmetics and items, with footwear likely to be a prominent inclusion, considering Nike's expertise in that realm.
If the collaboration ended there, it would already be remarkable. However, members of. Swoosh can unlock additional collectibles.
Introduced by Nike last year,.Swoosh, as described by VGC, is "a web3-enabled platform that champions athletes and serves the future of sport by creating a new, inclusive digital community and experience and a home for Nike virtual creations."
You know what that means, don't you? Indeed, it's a platform where you can obtain Nike-themed non-fungible tokens (NFTs)! They have already released one wave of NFTs, generating an impressive one million sales. Despite the recent volatility of the NFT market, Nike remains determined to explore this new frontier further.
Although we cannot confirm whether Nike will incorporate NFTs into their collaboration with Epic Games, it wouldn't be surprising given the growing trend of gaming companies experimenting with NFTs for various purposes.
